Meme-ic Monday: Micah 6:8



So much violence. Gays are targeted, blacks are targeted, police officers are targeted. And that's just from what made the national news in one country over a short period of time.

If we think globally, it's even easier to be "daunted."

The devil wants to stir up chaos and division, to make the Church a target of hate and suspicion.

The answer to that is to follow Micah 6:8, as described in this meme, and to pray. Always to pray.


Go to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God. That is what is required of us.



Be a blessing! And have a blessed day.





Micah 6:8 in context



I have learned much about doing justly, loving mercy and walking humbly with God in my years with the Christian Youth Conference at Ocean Park. It's a fabulous experience for high school teens. Two weeks in August, in southern Maine. Still slots available for 2016!

Took a walk

We took a walk with the homeschoolers today. A very nice ranger conducted us around and showed us trees, vernal pools, a stone tower and a treasure cave.

From burned out trees, we learned that forest fires are needed once about every 50 years to keep forests healthy. They clear out the junk and open up places for wild life to live.

We discovered that vernal pools are fun to look at. We caught polliwogs and misquito larvae in nets. Kids climbed on logs going over the pools.

We found out that the stone tower has no purpose. The fire lookout tower was built on the next hill. This tower was built in the Great Depression, just to give people work. Part of the WPA program.

The cave we explored was dug out by people who thought there was treasure in there. They were spiritualists who contacted (or thought thay contacted) the ghosts of dead pirates who had buried their treasure there. No treasure was ever found. But one digger who lived on site was killed in an earthquake when a rock overhang fell on him.


All in all, a pretty cool walk. The kids loved it.

Have a great day.
