Listen to God: Some are convinces that God is never silent and that He is always speaking to us in one way or another. If this is true, then God is saying some- thing to you right now. And what He is tr ying to tell you is important. It is crucial that we open our minds and hearts so that we can hear what God has to say to us. For who knows what blessing may come our way simply by listening to the Lord and trusting in His righ- teousness and His promise of deliverance. "Listen to me, you who pur- sue righteousness and who seek the Lord: Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the quarr y from which you were hewn" (Isaiah 51:1).

All The Press-Dispatch Wednesday, July 13, 2022 D-1 People don't realize what they have until it is gone People don't realize what they have. I am writing this column on July 4th, our national holiday celebrating our independence from Great Britain. Scanning the various news sites on this July 4th, I found few positive articles celebrating Indepen- dence Day. Democrats pro- mote '(obscene word used here) the 4th' event as Amer- icans celebrate holiday. Cornell University removes Gettysburg Address, Lincoln bust from librar y after alleged complaint. Leftists renounce Indepen- dence Day on Twitter: 'Burn countr y to (obscene word used here) ground.' Wisconsin Democrat Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes says founding of America 'awful.' One America is thriving; the other is stagnating. How long can this go on? The Supreme Court's reign of terror is unsustainable. Congress can do something about it. The most poignant head- line I found is: 'DOWN THE DRAIN': World War II hero breaks down in tears, discuss- ing what America has become. U.S. Marine veteran Carl It is time to ramble so hang on to something. It has been another busy week full of chainsawing and hauling limbs. I certainly hope I have cleaned up this mess just to make room for another. We visited our cousins over the fourth and it was good to see ever yone. We wanted to eat at the Aquarian but they were booked for weeks due to the fourth. We were able to get reser vations at the Rain For- est and our grandkids loved all the robotic animals as they were roaring and screaming. There elephants trumpeting and monkeys and apes getting excited. It was quite A show and it kept your interest. The food was good although a wee bit pricey. Lots of the businesses in the Chapel Hill area are in old- er buildings and one business was a restruant and another was a baker y, but both had a great big Marcy Jo's on the buildings. I had a lot of fun kidding and teasing ever yone who we had to meet Marcy Jo, but we never tried. It was all in fun, but I must say her restu- arant always had customers waiting outside on the porch, so it must have been pretty good. On the trip down we hit Nashville at one of their busi- est times and the traffic was lit- erally bumper against bumper but they were as courteous as possible. If you used your turn signal you could manuever without too much difficulty. We left to drive home around eight on the morning of the fourth and we had a much eas- ier drive home. The humidity has been so high, that two days after we The blessings of crisis The Apostle Paul, who had been through one desperate crisis after another, wrote as follows: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose"(Rom. 8:28). How many people have found life going along smooth- ly for years when, all of a sud- den, they have found them- selves in the middle of some serious crisis! Perhaps the sudden death of a loved one changed life completely and presented se- rious problems wholly unan- ticipated. Perhaps it was the sudden loss of wealth, so that life had to be completely read- justed. There are hundreds of unexpected incidents that can suddenly bring one face to face with stark and stern reali- ties completely unforeseen. For believers in the Lord Jesus Christ such crises can prove great spiritual blessings. They tend to draw us closer to our heavenly Father, to cause us to pray more and to lean harder upon Him. They show us the insecurity of all that is temporal and give us a great- er appreciation of our eternal security in Christ. They give deeper meaning to the Scrip- tures we study and even to the hymns we sing. They sanctify and enrich our fellowships.
