Google announced recently that they will be shutting down their blogs in April.  In preparation for that, I have moved to a new blog for the same type of info -- https://stevertsblog.wordpress.com/
Please visit me there.

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Don’t be afraid, because I am with you.  Don’t be intimidated; I am your God.  I will strengthen you.  I will help you.  I will support you with my victorious right hand.

(Isaiah 41:10 -- GW)

Knock, knock jokes can be funny, even though the door is never "opened."  However, standing outside the door of heaven and finding that it will not be opened to us will not be amusing.  It will be hell. 
(Laura  L. Pickle in Portals of Prayer)

What do you think?  If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off?  And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off.  In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.

(Matthew 18:12-14 -- NIV)
