9 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. The Apostle Paul writing to the church a Corinth has this to say: 2 Cor 2:17 17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of...
Well it is a cold and cloudy morning here in our little valley. The cats were up early for their breakfast, they ate good and had their bowl of warm milk. They are now back in the warm beds, they like to stay in their beds when it the weather gets cold. Bob is finished with the breakfast dishes and the kitchen is spotless, I am going to make him a cup of hot cocoa, I think he deserves it. We sure had a wonderful Thanksgiving, all the kids were here. There was lots of food and the grand kids got to play a lot, everyone had a good time here at...
As we head into December, I'm pondering the Christmas song "A baby changes everything" which goes through the emotions of bringing forth Jesus into this existence through Mary and the sacrifices of Joseph. Without a doubt, it is Jesus who we worship, adore, and follow as our ultimate example in life. But it is difficult for me to think about him without remembering the roles of Mary and Joseph. The Angel of the Lord came to Mary and explained the favor that God found in her. She was hand picked...
“May you live in interesting times.” - a saying often misattributed as an ancient Chinese curse. Years ago, when I was in middle management, my subordinates and I were entitled to two 10-minute breaks daily. Because of a chronic manpower shortage, I could not -- in good conscience -- avail myself of all those breaks. In fact, in one particular span of several months, I could count my actual “breathers” on the fingers of one hand. I brought the matter to the attention of my boss, who was truly a...
I don't know who wrote last week's article titled "Respect is Essential for Fixing the Teacher Shortage" but it was SPOT ON! We all have at least one great teacher story and most of us went to public schools, which is where the bulk of our taxpayer state funding should continue going. I especially like one paragraph's last sentence, "Students, parents and teachers should lead the conversation, not out-of-state groups." What a great article! - Theresa Gifford...
Matt 24:29-30 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Rev 6:12-13 12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black...
“Oh, baby, I’m gonna love you forever/ Forever and ever, amen” - as sung by Randy Travis. When I was a second-grader, I was fascinated by the short-lived ABC sitcom “The Second Hundred Years.” In the far-fetched program, Monte Markham played a 33-year-old Alaskan “gold rush” prospector who was buried in a glacial avalanche and preserved in suspended animation for 67 years. After the character was thawed out, high jinks ensued as the vigorous prospector (now seemingly half the age of his own so...
Well it is a beautiful Fall morning here in our little valley, it is a very quiet and peaceful morning. It is a little breezy, there are not many leaves left on the trees, but there is just enough for you to see a few leaves fall when the wind blows. It is not bad cold but it is cool enough that a lite jacket feels pretty good, and these cool temperatures makes the coffee taste better. On these cloudy Falls days my Christmas tree and decorations sure look pretty. We have got more than one tree up, after I get all my decorations up I will have...
The old gospel song says, "Time is filled with swift transition naught of earth and unmoved can stand." Or as Jerry Lee Lewis sang it," There's a whole lot of shaking going on." In our day, we really don't need a song to tell us there' s a whole lot of shaking going on. All we have to do is look around us, and we can say, "We hold these truths to be self-evident." The bible, in the 12th chapter of Hebrews, speaks of things that can be shaken and things that cannot be shaken and says,...
I believe it’s important that as we become more independent individuals, we understand more about what’s happening in our country and why certain families and organizations are reaching out for help. In the previous months, I’m sure you may have heard of SNAP benefits being revoked due to the government shutdown that lasted 43 days, but what does this mean and why exactly did it happen? First, what does it mean when the government “shuts down”? It varies per circumstance, but most of the time it means that funding and support to any governmen...
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. The Two Witnesses/The Two Olive Trees/The Word of God • IN REVELATION 11:3 Two witnesses are mentioned, these same two witnesses are called two olive trees in verse-4. • IN ZECHARIAH 4:3 Two olive trees are mentioned, and these two olive trees are called THE WORD OF THE LORD in verse-6, and the word of the Lord is...
In a world where we often hear about the “teacher shortage,” it’s time to ask ourselves: What exactly does that mean? Are we short on teachers, or are we short on respect for the teaching profession? My organization works hard to support educators through teamwork and collaboration, emphasizing personal growth and innovation in K-12 education. We raise awareness of key issues among policymakers and work to create practical solutions that deliver results for students and teachers. Too many politicians have perfected the art of making teach...
Don’t hate me because I’m stationary. Yes, the Tyrees are anticipating another laid-back, close-to-home Thanksgiving. Some would envy our “sweet spot,” but it’s more of a bittersweet spot. Our parents and grandparents are deceased, our siblings have their own plans and we don’t have a daughter-in-law or grandchildren yet. Our nuclear family will muddle through. There’s probably a reason the telemarketers who bombard you with offers of an “extended warranty” don’t branch out into hawking “exten...
Well it is a beautiful Fall day here in our little valley, it is a little cloudy and the wind is blowing, but it is a nice day. Lots of leaves have fallen off the trees, there are some trees that still have leaves left on them but they are beginning to fall now too. There seems to have been more leaves this year, we have been waiting for all of them to fall before we raked them, but we will have to rake next week. The cats have had their breakfast and are now out playing in the leaves, they are just like little kids. Bob is washing the dishes,...
America's workforce is going through a massive cultural change. I am a bivocational minister, and as both an employee & an employer in our country today, I'm observing a trend. It's a role reversal- younger people are leaving workplaces they used to dominate...like fast food restaurants, grocery stores, and gas stations, while older folks, those nearer the end of their careers, are migrating into the jobs deserted by our youth. For the young worker today, their mindset seems to come down to...
Dan 7:25 (1) 25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Rev 12:6,14 (2) 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. (3)14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is...
Let’s face it: America’s Bibles have seen more dust than the Joad family in Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath.” So, I’m tickled to see a flurry of articles about renewed interest in spirituality, even as I mark the fifth anniversary of my first inspirational book, “Yes, Your Butt Still Belongs in Church” (still available via Amazon). I know there are myriad reasons we’re witnessing an upsurge in Bible sales, Bible app downloads, streaming of contemporary Christian music and church attendance...
Well it is a really cool and nice Fall morning here in our little valley, the wind is blowing and the leaves are really falling. Recently we have had a little cold weather, but we are still going to have plenty of warm days before our real cold gets here. The start of Winter is still over 5 weeks away, and over the years our wintertime around here has not been really starting until in January. Many, many years ago it used to get real cold in November and you could count on seeing some big snows anytime in December. With this Fall wind it does n...
We are coming up on the Thanksgiving and holiday season. But Thanksgiving is always in season for the Christian person. We are told many times in the Bible to be thankful. Phil. 4 verse 6 says, (6) Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Eph 5 verse 20 says, (20) Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 1 Thess. 5 verse 18 says, (18) In everything...
Four years ago, I sat on my bed with my computer open, contemplating what to write as my very first submission for this newsletter. I was told I could write anything I wanted. In my head, I was imagining all of my writing that I was going to get to share by the end of senior year. It was forever away. Now, we are coming up on the third month of senior year. If you aren’t a senior, here is a run down of the first two months: In August, students had to come up with a college plan. We had to make a list of all the schools we wanted to apply to a...
Lewis County was originally formed on December 23, 1843, through several means, including the Legislative Act, as well as the division of Maury, Lawrence, Wayne, and Hickman counties. The name “Lewis County” was created as a memorial to Meriwether Lewis, who mysteriously died on October 11, 1809. The first family to settle in Lewis County was John Sharp and his sons, although very soon after a large number of people living on the Natchez Trail moved in as well. They quickly developed a small farm town that was nameless for several years. Eve...
The sky shined above her The rain fed the flowers But she was focused on the water droplets Consuming all her hours. People danced to the song of the wind But she stayed alone, no music playing. While those watched over her, winged Her mind created things to start weighing Her down to the ground As light danced around And the angelic sound Of joy itself. Open your doors, my dear There is a song I believe you must hear Don’t deafen yourself There are wondrous spells In the music That plays outside your window As you watch the raindrops fall r...
Rev 12:6,14 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. 14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. The woman fled for 1260 days(years) The woman fled into the wilderness for a thousand two hundred and threescore days.Sincethe woman is a true church, signifying her...
“Write something sensible.” I’m finishing this column on the first anniversary of my mother’s passing, and I can still hear her cajoling me to cater to her down-to-earth tastes. Her funny bone was unpretentious. She could laugh at pratfalls on “America’s Funniest Home Videos” or a tyke’s witticisms on “Kids Say the Darnedest Things”; but she seldom “got” my sense of humor, unless I was recounting a family anecdote. No satire. No literary allusions. No puns. No song parodies. Just “sensibl...
