It is raining and cold here today. I talked to a lady in Iowa today and told her about our 41 deg temperature and she said it was 12 degrees there. That made me thankful I live in Texas. We do need the rain here. The lakes and ponds are all way below normal levels. The farmers have planted their corn and it needed a good rain. We will not run the bus tonight due to the rain.
I do have an exciting text for this evenings service. We will be in the 2nd chapter of 2nd Thessalonians. Check out verse 6 and 7 in the King James Version. The word "withholdeth" of verse 6 is the same word as "letteth" in verse 7. The picture is of these 2 verses in the language in which it was originally written, Greek. I have highlighted in red the two words that are the same and it means literally "to keep down." All translations of the Bible into English lose some meaning and depth. It is good to be able to read the original to gain the best understanding of the text.
We will head for Henderson tonight and will get to see our grand kids for they will be in for a visit. We return to Hillsboro tomorrow night. God bless you.
