Maple Trees in The Yard

On April 30, 2010 as I was walking back from taking the lawn mower to my parent's home I plucked some maple saplings from the side of the road to our house. When I arrived home I grabbed my shovel and began planting them.

It seems now that at least one of them will not survive. It was one that I had hoped would make it. We water them frequently - every day - once a day, unless it rains.

We do want some trees in our yard. These will probably be fast growing, soft maples and make a fairly good shade.

It seems that I am recovering well from the stent work. My energy level is growing I do believe. Though it seems it is slow in coming. I do recover quicker than I did.

When I arrived home from bus driving this evening I went and did some work on our fence. It is a different kind of fence; at least for me. We are nearly finished with the part which extends from the road to the creek. The, we will need to get started cutting cedars and build along the road around to the corner of the garden. It will look pretty good I think.

Thank the Lord of creation, the Creator for all He has done. His name is Jesus.

Know Jesus

The Bible says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23). The glory of God was the reason for our creation. When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of Eden it passed on to their children, and that is you and me. We also read in the pages of the Bible [God’s Word] that, “There is none righteous, no, not one”. (Romans 3:10). Righteousness is simply being right with God. Because we are sinners, yet God - who is holy loved us - sent His Son Jesus to die for our sins. The Just One [Jesus Christ] for the unjust [You and I]. “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8). Here is the gospel of Jesus Christ; “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures; and that He was seen of Cephas [Peter], then of the twelve: After that, He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep [are with Christ]. After that, He was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all He was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.” (1 Corinthians 15:3-8) “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10). “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). BE SAVED TODAY.
