I am reading Morning & Evening by Spurgeon and last night's devotion, September 18, was so good that Craig & I wanted to share
......The soldier follows his captain, the servant obeys his master, and so we must follow our Redeemer, to whom we are a purchased possession. We are not true to our profession of being Christians if we question the summons of our Leader and Commander. Submission is our duty; quibbling is our folly........Wherever Jesus may lead us, He goes before us. If we do not know where we go, we know with whom we go. With such a companion, who will dread the dangers of the journey? The assurance of eternal salvation; because He lives, we will live also. We should follow Christ in simplicity and faith, because the paths in which He leads us all end in glory and immortality. It is true that they may not be smooth paths-they may be covered with sharp, flinty trials; but they lead to "the city that has foundations, whose designer and maker is God."..........We will find it sweet to go up the bleak side of the hill with Christ; and when rain and snow blow into our faces, His dear love will make us far more blessed than those who sit at home and warm their hands at the world's fire. When Jesus draws us, we will run after Him. No matter where He leads us, we follow the Shepherd.

BaghDaddy!!!
What is up? Hope it is alright over there in (????) I forget where you went. But, I know that it is a place of desert. I found out something new about the desert. That it is not the heat that we need to be careful of, but the cold weather at night. I guess it goes the same for our hearts. It does not matter how warm our hearts get with the heat beaming from the word of God, but we must be careful when we draw away from it and reach a distance of cold temperature. Take care bro. Be in the word always. Mau-B. (of course you knew that already :P)
