Another year around the Son 2026
May 18th. Selah. Pause.
Yesterday was hot. The morning air began warm. We had an early train, however I have learned even so we must meet with the Lord. After prayer and I went out for our breakfast and once it was secured from a delicious breakfast spot ‘call your mom’ we jumped in the car to Union Station.
Zan had cut up the fruit from the night before and wow was it good.
Unfortunately we missed our train. Thankfully God had given me a word for the service required of the day and prayer support (2 Cor. 1:11) enabling us to hurdle the financial stress of travel. Rerouted we rented a car and headed north able to maintain our original plans to tour the State House, Independence Hall.
Our tour guide at Independence Hall said of Philadelphia once summer hits in never stops. The temps reached 96. Those delegations in 1775-1787 must have had a furnace level of heat.
Do not withhold good when it is in your power to do it.
Washington presided over the Philadelphia Convention. “We are either a United people, or we are not. If the former, let us, in all matters of general concern act as a nation, which have national objects to promote, and a National character to support—If we are not, let us no longer act a farce by pretending to it…” George Washington
Delaware’s motto: “Liberty and Independence.” It appears on the state flag, the Great Seal of Delaware, and history has it that Delaware is the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution in 1787.
Benjamin Franklin after the signing of the U.S. Constitution famously said, “I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting sun”.
““Come on! Let’s return to the Lord! He himself has torn us to pieces, but he will heal us! He has injured us, but he will bandage our wounds! He will restore us in a very short time; he will heal us in a little while, so that we may live in his presence. So let us acknowledge him! Let us seek to acknowledge the Lord! He will come to our rescue as certainly as the appearance of the dawn, as certainly as the winter rain comes, as certainly as the spring rain that waters the land.””
Hosea 6:1-3 NET
To the corruptions of christianity I am indeed opposed; but not to the genuine precepts of Jesus himself. I am a Christian in the only sense in which he wished any one to be; sincerely attached to his doctrines, in preference to all others; ascribing to himself every human excellence, and believing he never claimed any other.
Thomas Jefferson
