MOSCOW THEN HOME

TODAY I HEAD FOR MOSCOW. MEET THE TRANSIT VISA GUYS THERE FOR TOMORROW. HEAD TO ESTONIA TO DROP OFF THE CAR AND FLY OUT MONDAY AT 6:40 A.M.

MOSCOW....WHAT CAN I SAY. I HATE THE TRAFFIC THERE. NO PLACE LIKE IT TO COMPARE TO. NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DRIVE THERE.

MY FLIGHT SHOULD ARRIVE ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. I'LL BE BACK IN GOOD OLE GAINESVILLE ON MONDAY NIGHT IN ZOMBIE MODE. LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

HEY, CHECK OUT THIS PAGE....REALLY NEAT....I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE "CREATION" COVERED THE ENTIRE CEILING. NOT SO. SOMEDAY I WANT TO SEE THIS. MAKE SURE CLICK THE M AT THE BOTTOM AND BROWSE AROUND A BIT. YOU CAN ZOOM IN REALLY CLOSE. WELL, I THOUGHT IT WAS NEAT. OF COURSE, I DON'T FACEBOOK.

IF YOU'RE KEEPING UP, I WAS 3-1 LAST NIGHT. WHERE DID BUTLER COME FROM? WHERE ARE THEY? WHO IS BUTLER? GOTTA BE ROOTING FOR THE BAPTISTS TONIGHT!! WHAT IF THEY GET TO PLAY DUKE???

RAN INTO THE GUY WHO USED TO PLAY CENTER FOR OUR "BULLDOGS" NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM THE OTHER NIGHT. SPENT A LONG TIME JUST CHATTING AND CATCHING UP. THERE IS A GUY IN FLORIDA WHO WANTS TO BRING A BASKETBALL TEAM OVER NEXT YEAR....I WOULD LOVE TO TRY TO GET THE "BULLDOGS" BACK TOGETHER FOR A 10 YEAR REUNION (YES, IT WILL BE 10 YEARS) NEXT YEAR AND PUT TOGETHER A LITTLE TOURNEY. THAT WOULD BE FUN.

I SPOKE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST ON WEDNESDAY SO IT WAS FRESH ON MY MIND...THEN READ THIS FROM SPURGEON THIS MORNING. GOOD STUFF...

"When He cometh in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."—Mark 8:38.

F we have been partakers with Jesus in His shame, we shall be sharers with Him in the lustre which shall surround Him when He appears again in glory. Art thou, beloved one, with Christ Jesus? Does a vital union knit thee to Him? Then thou art to-day with Him in His shame; thou hast taken up His cross, and gone with Him without the camp bearing His reproach; thou shalt doubtless be with Him when the cross is exchanged for the crown. But judge thyself this evening; for if thou art not with Him in the regeneration, neither shalt thou be with Him when He shall come in His glory. If thou start back from the black side of communion, thou shalt not understand its bright, its happy period, when the King shall come, and all His holy angels with Him. What! are angels with Him? And yet He took not up angels—He took up the seed of Abraham. Are the holy angels with Him? Come, my soul, if thou art indeed His own beloved, thou canst not be far from Him. If His friends and His neighbours are called together to see His glory, what thinkest thou if thou art married to Him? Shalt thou be distant? Though it be a day of judgment, yet thou canst not be far from that heart which, having admitted angels into intimacy, has admitted thee into union. Has He not said to thee, O my soul, "I will betroth thee unto Me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness"? Have not His own lips said it, "I am married unto thee, and My delight is in thee"? If the angels, who are but friends and neighbours, shall be with Him, it is abundantly certain that His own beloved Hephzibah, in whom is all His delight, shall be near to Him, and sit at His right hand. Here is a morning star of hope for thee, of such exceeding brilliance, that it may well light up the darkest and most desolate experience..

SEE YA'LL SOON.


LOVE YA'LL. YA'LL LOVE EACH OTHER.
