On Christ the Solid Rock

I am so thankful that the one true Solid consistent thing in my life is my Lord and Savior, Jesus, He is my rock, my true north. He is never changing. Thank brings me comfort in just remembering the faithfulness of God and the power of His word.
I hope and pray it brings you comfort too. Remember,  there is nothing so big that God isn't bigger still..


Below is an awesome song we sang is church today. 



On Christ the Solid Rock I stand

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

From time to time I find myself putting my trust in other things that are on "sinking sand", but I know that Christ is the only solid rock in this everyday life....

Time Gone By

Time has passed so quickly that I didn't realize it.
Our friend Clay went home to be with our Lord on June 21st, which ironically enough was Todd's 50th birthday. Todd was quiet for a couple of days but we have the assurance that Clay is no longer in pain.
The services were the 1st and 2nd of July in Lovelock Nevada. Pastor Terry Berreth brought the message at the graveside and true to His word God was there speaking through Pastor. We praise God for his faithfulness.
We were able to visit with Linda, Polly and Jeanne as well as other friends and family. It was good to see them all. God continues to lay Linda on my heart and so she is in my thoughts and prayers through each day. We will remain in touch as often as we can, we are sisters and nothing will ever change that.
As the days continue to stumble by Todd is continuing his online education as well as working on projects around the house. The weather is great and we are enjoying each minute of it.
We hope and pray for our friends and family....that each one that heard the message and was encouraged will continue to seek God's face daily, feeding on His precious word as we take each day of this everyday life...
