This morning I checked the Post Office Box
and nothing is there.
I gave a copy of
God Is Calling You
to Vice President Arlis to read over.
Bible study on
Psalm 139
is at lunch time
again.

I just finished Version 2 of
God Is Calling You
.
Jon Christenson was not there at SOI when
I arrived today.

(November 7, 1996
Today I wrote back to two people. One was from
Tekemah and one from Yutan both in Nebraska.
I should be going to Sons of Italy (SOI) for lunch. It will
be interesting to see if Jon Christenson shows up
to thank us for voting for him. I asked him to come back
when I was at SOI last week.
I would like to work on writing my book, but I don't seem
to have time. Pray that I figure this out --- what to
do to get this writing done.
7:43 AM CST)
Do you think he will be there?
(November 6, 1996
On Monday I had lunch with Mr. Jones of
UPRR
. I always kid him about the "Mr. Jones" in
the story
"The Bridge Is Out"
. He is always watching the newspaper to see
if I do anymore writing about "Mr. Jones".

My cousin moved in my house, so I'm trying to
adjust to this change. Pray for God to bless
him. Thanks.
On Sunday I was at
Boys Town
and checked out the rose garden to see how
it was doing after the 20-degree weather we
have had lately. These roses are in bad shape.
They are wiped out!
Last week we received a total of 6 letters
in the mail. That is amazing!
Pray for Maureen.
7:43 AM CST)
Except for one...
There was one pink rose in bloom. It was
an "Artistry" rose and it was looking great.
Now you tell me what that means. I called
my friend Patty to ask her what she thought
about it. She did not know what to think
at 12:41 PM when I called her.
She needs help.
(All of us need help.)

This morning I was working on a new song titled
"Never leave you". I wrote about 5 verses of
lyrics to this tune.
Hey you have a wonderful rainy day with the Lord.

On November 1 I received 3 more letters in the Post
Office Box #991 in downtown Omaha. I ran out of copies
of
Friday, December 31, 1999
, so I have to go to Kinko's to have more made.
It is amazing that I'm still receiving letters from
the two articles the last
(To Be A Success In 1996)
of which was printed 3 weeks ago today.
It must be that people are copying them and giving them to
friends.
Yesterday I was out raking the leaves around my house.
And I'm still not done --- there are more leaves in my 3 maple
trees.
Hey, the sun is up at 7:10 AM. I just watched it out the
kitchen window. It took about 3 minutes to pop up over the
neighbor's house down the street. It is bright!
Yesterday I finally got this tune on tape that I've been
humming to myself for a few months (or maybe years). It has
the words "Never Leave You" in it. As in Jesus, will never
leave you. He is your best friend. It is just a simple tune
and I purchased a tape recorder last week just to capture such
things. I don't even have a piano or music composer software for
my PC.
This morning I'm listening to the imaginary soundtrack for
my movie "Jacob: The Messenger". The song currently playing
is "The Dance" by
Garth Brooks
.

Good Morning it is another cold morning
here in
Omaha
.
The Bible Study yesterday was not what I expected,
but life is full of surprises. Jesus was right
there --- we were gathered in His name. There is
so much to say! There is so much to learn! We
have much to share with each other. Would you
reach out and share with your brothers and sisters
in Christ? Would you show that "you are Christians
by your love for one another"?
5:33 AM CST)
We read
Psalms 139
and talked about what some of the verses meant to us.
"O Lord, you have searched me and you know me."
These are powerful words to dwell on and think about
and share with others.
We will continue our study next week.
(November 1, 1996
This a new month.
It is All Saints Day.
And since it is a new month...
I say let us move on!
Today I'm going to have a Bible Study with
5:13 AM CST)
Turn that page on the calendar.
One day I hope and pray you are a saint.
What do you think?
Are you destined for glory?
Are you heading for the Kingdom of God?
Life is so short.
why not change my home page around?
The old stuff is still there at
October 1996
if you want to go back there.
Yes, we should learn from the past,
but let us get on with living and growing!
Hey, today is a day like no other.
Jesus calls you today to grow
in his grace and love.
people that I have never studied the Bible
with before.
Hey, life is an adventure.
Would you take some chances?!
They do not go to the same church that I do.
Would you step out of your "comfort zone"
and go with the Spirit?
Would you please pray with
your brothers and sisters
in other Christian churches?
