Happy Birthday 77

Happy Birthday Grandpa

The pictures tell the story. Micah and Emma Ruth helped open the presents. And they certainly look happy about it. The whole family, of those in Wexford PA as well as Washington IA gave a great gift of books. Let me share these books (ordered from American Vision) with you.
1. A good family book to read aloud gives us an overview of the Reformation with lots of pictures of the lives and events of that time: The Greatest Century of Reformation by Peter Hammond. In his preface he writes, “Expect opposition and criticism as an inevitable price of taking God’s Word seriously. Let’s get back to the Bible and apply the Lordship of Christ to all areas of life.” (Read Deuteronomy 7:9).
2. Another family book to read aloud: Against the Tide (The Valor of Margaret Wilson) by Hope Irvin Marston. This historical novel is about the Margaret who stood firm for her Christ, unto death. This is the time of the Martyrs of Scotland. We praise our Lord for those who have gone on before, in covenant with their Lord, faithful to His Word, even unto death. (For short stories of the Martyrs see They Received the Crown of Martyrdom by Robert (Grandpa) La May).
3. The Divine Challenge (On Matter Mind Math & Meaning) by John Byl.” John Byl argues that the Christian worldview provides the only foundation for logic, mathematics, science and morality.” He is Professor of Mathematics and Head of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Trinity Western University, Canada.
4. God and Cosmos (A Christian View of Time, Space, and the Universe), by John Byl. I am looking forward to this book which is told to be a “refreshing counter to the dreary and ultimate meaningless outlook of modern cosmology.”
5. Judicial Tyranny (the new kings of America) by Mark I. Sutherland with a number of others, such as Ambassador Alan Keys, U.S. Attorney Ed Meese, Chief Justice Roy Moore, Howard Phillips, Phyllis Schlafly, Esq. etc. This is a must reading along with prayer for our Nation which stands on God’s Moral Law, a Republic that the enemy would like to destroy.
Thank you family for wonderful gifts, Kay, Dorcas, Rob, Micah, Emma, Philip, Michelle, Andrew, Joshua, Titus, Matthew.
in the name of God’s greatest gift, the King of kings and Lord of lords. May nations honor the Son!
