Philadelphia- where the U.S. Constitution was signed in 1787.

The Constitution is the law of the United States.

Constitution Day was September 17. The Constitution was signed on this day in 1787. Pennsylvania had the most signers with 8. My home state, Georgia, had 2 signers. New York had only 1 signer. They were a total of 39 delegates who signed the Constitution.

"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the General Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

This is the Preamble to the Constitution. It is not law. It is simply a declaration of intent and purpose of the document. I'm studying a book on our Constitution by Dr. David Gibbs called UNDERSTANDING THE CONSTITUTION: Ten Things Every Christian Should Know About the Supreme Law of the Land. It's available from Christian Law Association, P.O. Box 4010, Seminole, Florida 33775-4010 or www.christianlaw.org

This country road leads to my home. I love this scene. We get to see this each morning as we check our mail ('cept Sunday, of course.)

The steps to happiness

Thursday night after church Bro. Ed took a group of us to the Rocky Steps in Philly. We also got to see the William Penn building and statue. MANY people were on the streets including prostitutes, etc. We all ran or walked up the steps in front of the art museum. We sang on the way. Ashley, Kirbie, and Autumn sang for us. It was a sweet time. It brought tears to my eyes as I thought of the many places my daughters could have been on this night had it not been for the Lord Jesus Christ in their lives. Here were these multitudes walking the streets, women selling themselves as if they were just an object, people searching for peace and happiness in drugs, alcohol, promiscuous behavior,etc. and here in our van were a happy, joyful, pure, group of young people singing praises to their Creator.

There is a statue of Rocky Balboa out front and beside the steps. At the top there is a set of footprints of "Rocky's" in the concrete. All this will burn up one day--only what's done for Christ will last. Only one life--'twill soon be past.

On a carriage in Philadelphia

Matt (left) and Bob--they lifted up their voices and cried aloud to warn the lost of their impending doom and tell them of a loving Saviour Who longs to save them.

It looks like, if the Lord wills, that Bob will one day be my son-in-law.

My daughter, Jessica, singing a duet with Cohen Miller

Cohen's sister, Lara, is his usual duet partner , but since she had fallen asleep this late night at church, Jessica nervously filled in and did a great job.
