“But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall by no means escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we watch or sleep, we should live together with Him. Therefore encourage each other and build up one another, just as you also are doing.” 1st Thessalonians 5:1-11 It seems good to take another look at the North Korean ordeal. This topic had been covered a decent amount in the past and I have watched for many months the ongoings of this peace deal that was supposedly struck between the United States and North Korea. There have been bits of information that has slowly been coming out...

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 This time of year people are busy purchasing gifts to give to others. The other day was a very busy mailing day at the local post office in Kalispell, Montana, the line being, as expected, very long. A lot of people have high hopes of getting some of the things that they have asked for or stated that they would like to receive, especially children. In much of the world the same thing goes on, with some different varieties. Despite the fact that the Savior was very highly likely not born on the 25th of December, people nonetheless purpose to celebrate such an occasion, due to historical reasons that they are unaware of. Many people this time of year write about putting ‘Christ back in christmas’, but in those regards, I would be the oddity to suggest that Christ should never be involved with such a mass. You can read more about the origins of many holidays with the link on the right hand side of the homepage, clicking on the book Holy Days to download a free ebook. For the purpose of this, the discussion will be simply looking at the vanity of humanity in the pursuits that are undertaken by the masses, verses the free gift that God has made available to all. What qualifies as a good gift? Thoughtfulness, overall value, necessities or something else? Well, there is not one standard answer for such things, but both would be determined...

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Hosea 4:6a “Behold, is it not of Jehovah of Hosts that the people labor only to feed the fire, and nations weary themselves only for vanity.” Habakkuk 2:13 The other day I noticed a click-bait advertisement for photos of life in the 1950’s. Knowing history in the United States fairly well, I decided to see what exactly they were trying to push with such an article. While going through it, I noticed that they spent some time discussing how easy it was for a one income family back in the 1950’s to purchase a home and pay it off. Now my family history has an oddity to it, as my father was much older than the average father. So for many years, until his death, I heard of stories of how things worked back when he was young. Growing up in northern Michigan, I also got my hands on a book about the Hedrick family of Harbor Springs, who offered a very good first hand account of the early settler days in that region of the state. While that was in the late 1800’s, still the accounts of everyday life for the average person was somewhat similar. At 40 years old, I have had discussions with my friends for many years regarding the cost of living, verses trying to carve out a niche in the world. When I was younger I had aspirations to go to college and get a degree in meteorology. There were a lot of things that my wife and I talked about...
