First, the following, like at the other 'rooms' of 'my house in and with Jesus' is a concise 'overview' of what has been posted here in the 'Auto-biographical Room', during 2018. A. You will find generally: Stories in the 'Seasons of My Life in Jesus' A. Birth - August 12, 1956 - Pre-Spring Time of My Life. [See Posts from April 19, 2018] 10/7/2018 Words of Wisdom for 'Parents', 'Those in the Shoes of Parents', Sunday Series, October 7, 2018 'When Jesus was just eight days old, Joseph and Mary brought Him to the Temple in Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord. The Spirit of the Lord came upon Simeon who recognized that salvation would come through Jesus.' Luke writes "And His father and mother were amazed at the things which were being said about Him.' [Luke 2:25-33]. It is always wise to 'train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.' [Proverbs 22:6] May the training be in the knowledge of the Lord. Amen. Amen.
Then, Jesus, even at that early age, felt the deep and abiding love of his Father in heaven, and was deeply moved by his growing love for the Father. Even at that early age Jesus gives us a model of how we should see the Father, how he should occupy the first and foremost position of importance in our own minds and hearts. After all, it is this love of God, whom we come to know intimately in and through Jesus, that make our love for one another both possible and meaningful. This is the paradoxical reality of our faith. It is in loving God that we become true lovers ourselves. As Jesus said, 'Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?' [Luke 2:41-52] And then, from the Cross, his last words on the cross, 'Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.' [Luke 23:46] His Life, well lived. Amen. Amen. audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html 9/20/2018 0 Comments Stories of My Life, 'Spring', but 'A Southern 'Negra' in The North'?, Post 8 H, September 20, 2018 Stories in the 'Seasons of My Life in Jesus'

Without any hesitation, let me say this clearly. None of us would have ventured into Uncle Emory's 'watermelon patch' - alone, solo, single. No. You see, he was very generous and we loved him. AND, he was also one of the 'disciplinarians' for us. [Yes, he could spank us, if we were in danger and would not stop. Like jumping into the pond, without adult supervision! That sort of danger.] The watermelon patch was not out in 'plain sight' to tempt us. [He did his part as an adult]. It was hide in the middle of the 'tobacco field', and there had been 'stories' that the 'buggy man' roamed the 'tobacco fields' at night. I kid you not! Further, we all knew not to go into the watermelon patch. PERIOD. But, when you get a group of 'friends' of any age together, whether ages 7-9-10-11-12 or so; well, you know, "who is afraid of 'the big, bad wolf'". or, 'the buggy man'! Right? And, the 'prize', just to sit there and bust open those sweet, warm and juicy melons! And, to have a 'watermelon fight', washing each others' faces in the juicy leftovers!! Oh, what fun! The thrill of it all! But, there was so much more thrills. It was especially more thrilling, running from the 'bees' coming to the smell!! None of us had at this point, developed - 'self-control', for we were still 'being regenerated to be converted'. We were in 'the grasp of His Grace'. But, we were 'sneaking' behind our parents backs. [Galatians 5:16-25; Philippians 2:12-13] audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html Time to learn - as it is written: 'You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor's....anything that is your neighbor's'. [Exodus 20:15,16,17]. And, for me, a time to 'choose' God, first. And, it would be a time to learn about the same thing Adam and Eve had to learn - 'the lust of the flesh'; 'the lust of the eyes'; the pride of life'.
