"Some days I'd like to track down this Murphy guy and beat the living daylights out of him. But that would only add weight to his theory." --Frank Reeves

My time is up, and I must go,
I leave what little I've done.
May God make every effort grow
and finish what I've begun.

Yes, this one is mine, too. As humble as it is.

Tempestuous times are these--
confusion, war, disease--,
but worse are liberal lies
that moral looseness buys.

With singular clarity
come courage, strength, and, more,
the prize of liberty,
by freedom's fighting corp.

Good wishes don't suffice
to guarantee free speech,
for peace demands of each
a costly sacrifice.

I am grateful, on the political and government side, that we have a strong president who knows where to take the country. Would to God other nations had men like him.

More than that, I am grateful, on the spiritual and ministerial side, that the church of God has strong servants who know the truth and insist on a clear sound in speaking the gospel. Would to God every congregation had people like them.

Do a neat little trick to "discover" who you are on http://www.googlism.com . I took a spiritual twist with that over on Forthright, with Discover Yourself.

I saw it today in the April issue of the Rocky Mountain Christian. Dr. Kearley died March 1. He was editor of the Gospel Advocate for about 15 years, according to the RMC. I had little contact with him personally, but did subscribe to the GA during much of that period, and he published a few things of mine.
