Shoveling the snow back onto the drive.

This was Monday morning on March 23th.

Another snowy day here in Prince George, BC














Then on March 27th we start to see it all begin
to melt. Praise the Lord.













I have since Monday shoveling the snow back onto
the driveway from which I have shoveled off of
during this past winter.


Today, I just have a small mountain, so I felt
spiritual and placed three rugged crosses.








Lots of folks are walking by, they stop, look and talk about the three crosses.



btw, we live in the smaller part of the duplex.

Wednesday, but Sunday is Coming

I didn't post this on Wednesday, so here it is today. jeff



The false idea that Jesus died on Friday has passed from the Roman Church to the Protestant denominations, and today `Good Friday' is observed--at least recognized--even by many Baptists. The following study is by Dr. James Crumpton, Pastor, Westside Baptist Church, Natchez, Mississippi:

"The traditional view is that Jesus was crucified on Friday--but was He? The Catholics had a church rule for years forbidding the eating of meat on Friday, since that was supposedly the day of the crucifixion. Some time ago the rule was done away with, but many still voluntarily observe it.

"In Mt. 12:40, our Lord Jesus said: `For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.' How could there be three days and three nights from late Friday afternoon until early Sunday morning? At the most, there could only be two nights, one day, and a part of another! Had the Scriptures only said three days, we could have understood them to mean a part of three days, since both in and out of the Scriptures we use the word to mean only a portion of a day. However, the Scriptures specify `three days and three nights,' and thus verbal inspiration demands three twenty-four hour days.

It is good for us to note the difference in the Roman day, the Jewish day, and our present day. THE ROMAN DAY began at 6:00 A.M. and closed at 6:00 the next morning. THE JEWISH DAY began at sunset and closed at the next sunset (or from about 6:00 P.M. to the next 6:00 P.M.). OUR DAY begins at midnight and closes the next midnight.

The Lord Jesus was placed on the cross about 9:00 A.M. our time and was there until about 4:00 P.M. It was on Wednesday! He was taken down from the cross and placed in the tomb before sunset-- before the beginning of the sabbath. Note that this was not the beginning of the regular weekly sabbath at sunset on Friday, but a `high sabbath'--a Passover sabbath which came on Thursday that week! [See Lev. 23:5-7, where we find that the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread was a sabbath day.] At about sunset on Thursday He had been in the grave one day and one night. At about sunset on Friday, He had been in the grave two days and two nights. Then, just after the three full days and nights, He arose. He arose as it began to dawn the first day of the week (just after sunset Saturday, our time). The women came early Sunday morning, our time, but He was already gone. The expression `on the third day' in the Gospels referring to His resurrection would be `after the third day' in our way of saying it.

"Many have sunrise services commemorating the resurrection, and we see nothing wrong with that; but maybe we should have a SUNSET service. He arose about sunset on Saturday. And that was sunset for our sins--because they were gone forever. Hallelujah!!!"

Old Preacher, Young Preacher - Baptism

The young pastor had came to the older pastor for some advice concerning Baptism and the Lord Supper. The old pastor advice was to have Baptism in the morning and the Lord Supper that evening.


So the young preacher started preparing for both services, and spent a lot of time in hard work and study to do things right.


When Sunday morning came around and at the end of the service they had the baptism. With the little old lady who have trusted Christ in the tank, the nervous pastor raised his hand and said “I baptized you in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost”… plunging her into the water he continued … “ now drink ye all of it”



Well, Praise the Lord we had both a Baptism and the Lord’s Supper this week, and one profession of faith. AMEN.

One who had trusted Christ earlier in life but have never follow the Lord Jesus in Believers Baptism.

Then on Tuesday evening we gathered as the body of Christ to observe the Lord’s Supper.

Handling adversity

A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and the last he placed
ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word. The
daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was
doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the
carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed
them a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.


Turning to her he asked. "Darling, what do you see."

"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.

He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted
that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After
pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked
her to sip the coffee. She smiled as she tasted it and smelled its rich
aroma. She humbly asked. "What does it mean Dad?"


He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water,
but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and
unrelenting. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened
and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had
protected its liquid interior. But after sitting through the boiling water,
its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however.
After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.


"Which are you," he asked his daughter. "When adversity knocks on your
door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean? "

PM Stephen Harper Stands up for the Nation of Isreal

Last week Prime Minister Stephen Harper boldly stood up for the nation of Israel. Here is the news article in case you missed it. I have written him to commend him for his actions. I’m sure he will receive a lot of criticism for standing for Israel. Perhaps you could encourage him with a letter as well.

Harper reaffirms Conservative support for state of Israel at Jewish centre opening

Tamsyn Burgmann, THE CANADIAN PRESS

THORNHILL, Ont. - Prime Minister Stephen Harper passionately vowed Thursday night that his government would always stand behind Israel, at the same time denouncing what he called "a rising global tide of anti-Semitism."

Harper's speech to members of the Jewish community in this Toronto suburb came amid planned court action by a British MP who was banned from entering Canada for apparent links to Hamas.

Donning a blue skullcap, Harper reaffirmed his government's support for the state of Israel at a grand opening ceremony for a new Chabad Lubavitch centre, an organization dedicated to the welfare of Jewish people worldwide.

"Of the dangers that confront us in the world, anti-Semitism should be confronted in its own right for the moral evil that it is," Harper said as the crowd rose to a standing ovation.

"I say this not just to Jews, but to gentiles everywhere. It is important to remember that history teaches us that those who aim to destroy the Jewish people - to destroy the nation of Israel - that kind of spirit will not be quenched by that objective.

"They will be a threat to us all, and that is why they must be opposed."

Harper, who was joined by MP Peter Kent, who represents the area, said the Conservatives have been taking continual leadership on the issue. He noted that Kent has spoken out against recent anti-Semitic incidents on some university campuses.

At Toronto's York University, for instance, anti-Israel slogans were shouted at Jewish students.

"The bottom line is this," Harper said. "Whether at home or abroad, I hope and I know you can have not a shadow of a doubt that my government will remain a vehement opponent of anti-Semitism and an unyielding defender of religious freedom and a staunch ally of the state of Israel."

Harper's speech didn't mention his government's refusal to allow British MP George Galloway from entering Canada.

The federal government has said Galloway violated sections of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act that state anyone can be barred from Canada for engaging in terrorism or being a member of a group that engaged in terrorism.

That charge is apparently based on the fact that Galloway delivered humanitarian goods to war-torn Gaza and gave $45,000 to the Hamas government, which is a banned terrorist organization in Canada.

Galloway's lawyers are challenging the entry ban and are considering a civil action.

Yitzchok Grossbaum, who attended the ceremony, called Harper's speech "unbelievable."

"We're shocked at the words the Prime Minister used today," he said. "You could see he really meant it."

Two prominent Jewish organizations, B'nai Brith Canada and the Canadian Jewish Congress, have applauded banning Galloway from entering the country.

Worthy is the Lamb - Rev. 5:12

While studying I came across this poem, the author is unknown to me. jnh

Until I saw the blood,
‘Twas hell my soul was fearing:
And dark and dreary in my eyes,
The future was appearing,
While conscience told its tale of sin,
And caused a weight of woe within.

But when I saw the blood,
And look’d at Him who shed it,
My right to peace was seen at once,
And I with transport read it;
I found myself to God brought nigh,
And “Victory” became my cry.

My joy was in the blood,
The news of which had told me,
That spotless as the Lamb of God,
My Father could behold me,
And all my boast was in His name.
Through whom this great salvation came.

And when, with golden harps,
The throne of God surrounding,
The white-robed saints around the throne,
Their songs of joy are sounding;
With them I’ll praise that precious blood.
Which has redeem’d our souls to God.
