    "Now grace in the heart of one child of God will ever unite with grace in the heart of another. If there be jars and divisions, if there be dispute and contention in churches and among individuals, let not these be fathered on religion. It is not grace but lack of it that gives them birth and maintains them in being. So far as grace rules and reigns, so far as the life of God is made manifest in the conscience, there is a blessed bond of union among the family of God. This bond of union may indeed lie very deep or be much hidden and covered—the brook of love that once flowed strong and clear may be diminished to a trickling rill—circumstances may separate the chief friends—ministers may be divided, churches split, congregations dispersed, the dearest ties severed—because iniquity abounds the love of many may wax cold. But love itself can never die, for life and love are so one that love can only die with life, and life the with love." -J.C. Philpot

    Wow! How blessed you are, as I am sure you well know, to be exposed to such beutiful sites of God's creation - Love #27 in your album.

    Praise be to GOD!

    In whom we have also obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will {Eph 1:11}

    Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
  4. Thanks Mary! Ruth and I have been in California since the beginning of March and are just now in process of finishing a deal on a home. It has been a long and difficult process to obtain one; the real estate market here is almost all bank-owned and short sales at the current time.

    Will write soon! --Bob

    Hi Bob! Its been awhile since I said hi to you and your family. How is Ruth doing? I miss you all so much, I was just thinking about the conferences the other day and looking through my pictures. I had so much fun going to the St Louis botanical gardens! You're all now in California huh? I have some friends down there maybe someday I can visit. How are things going? Thanks for all your contributions and I very much enjoy learning from you. You've always been such a great brother and friend to me over the years. I very much thank you and respect you for that, and hope that God blesses you much. Take care and God loves you!

    Wow that is cool! I hope you are enjoying your Asia vacation! Thanks for keeping us updated on where you are at. That sounds like so much fun, I love traveling! My parents went to China once, and my dad I think visited some places when he was in the Vietnam War. My brother went to Europe, I hope to travel there someday. I've been to Guatemala on a missions trip, mostly just to help teach in a small school of girls. Hopefully you're learning lots and experiencing new things, and taking some wonderful pictures. Cant wait to hear more later! Take care and be safe.

Signature


Now see here how sleepy-headed all our opponents are, and how little it helps a man to rely on the ancient fathers, for all their repute down the course of the ages! Were they not all equally blind to, yes, and heeldess of, Paul's clearest and and plainest words?

--Martin Luther

Don't Raise the Debt Ceiling!, BUT

by Robert R. Higby on 01-25-2011 at 04:31 AM
There is a lot of talk these days about Congress engaging what is now an age-old ritual of raising the debt ceiling by hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars. It's going to happen. The most reasonable and sane of arguments against it are doomed to fail early and often, no matter how much I or anyone else support indisputable arguments against raising the debt from a constitutional and national survival perspective. So forget about change in this area, it's dead and gone. I'm not even

We Have to Suffer, and Suffer, and Suffer!

by Robert R. Higby on 12-08-2010 at 11:00 PM
Just one in a million examples of critical things that will never change until we are literally experiencing a taste of the torments of hell in this life.

The Great Neo-Conservative Victory

by Robert R. Higby on 12-06-2010 at 10:06 PM
A super-big triumph for Neo-Conservatism was achieved today in the U.S. In fact, it was SO huge that the Hastert doctrine (the policies of the majority Republican Congress of 2003-2006) should be enshrined forever as the true heart and soul of the Republican party.

We learned that the Republican gains of the 2010 election were absolutely nothing but a justification of returning to the Hastert doctrine, which is really the doctrine of the Bush-Clinton-Obama New World Order: Central

A Keen Sense of the Lord's Power

by Robert R. Higby on 12-02-2010 at 11:17 AM
To man, the physical elements of the universe comprise 'nature'. But for those of us who reverence and worship God as He who predestines, controls, and is constantly present in all things; moving them according to His sovereign will, observing the destructive power in the material elements of our world speaks loudly of His infinite majesty.

My wife and I just returned from Ecuador where we observed the ongoing eruption of Tungurahua. Here are some media pictures--which are far closer

The Food Safety Bill

by Robert R. Higby on 11-17-2010 at 10:21 PM
http://www.infowars.com/hr-2749-tota...e-food-supply/

This bill in a modified form is now before the U.S. Senate. Don't be deceived by the Amendments claiming to exempt small producers; a lot of them are going to be left hanging out to dry. We should all be outraged by greater FDA power to regulate the food supply and who can sell, who can't. There are totalitarian Republican and Democrat Fascists in the U.S. government with their own power agenda in all such
