Jewel with her two day colt, Blaze. These are
our Amish neighbors' horses. The children told me they got Jewel last fall. She has had six other foals, but this was the first one under their watch. Just look at Blaze's long legs. Ruth said it was funny to watch him trying to fold his long, skinny legs while trying to lie down.

“You are my King and my God” (Psalm 44:4). "They are all defying Caesar's decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus" (Acts 17:7). ![]()
For many years they ran Gene Wenger’s Meats & Fine Foods in nearby
Elizabethtown that is most famous for its ham loaf. It's a Lancaster County delicacy that was introduced to us shortly after moving to this area 22 years ago.
![]() About forty years ago Gene was designated the "Pennsylvania Pork King" and that designation still figures prominently on his packaging, such as the seal shown above on the packaging for his ham loaf patties. When I saw him I liked to tease him good naturedly and say, "I'm glad that I know a king".
Well,
that’s a great declaration that not many can make – “I know a King.” Many refer to Elvis Presley as “the king” and there are some who actually know one of the earthly monarchs. But all of us may personally know the King of kings! We may, like the Psalmist, declare to Him in song and prayer: “You are my King”. Our King is altogether unlike the earthly kings. We, like the early church, declare: “There is another king, One called
Jesus” (Acts 17:7).
Our King reigns eternally over the entire universe. As the great hymn states: “Let every kindred, every tribe on this terrestrial ball, to Him all majesty ascribe and crown Him Lord of all.” Our King is omnipotent (all-powerful). What a contrast to any earthly potentate. All other power is limited. A proud King Herod in Acts 12 failed to renounce the praise directed toward him following his public address to the people. They shouted, "This is the voice of a god, not of a man". He was immediately struck down, eaten by worms and died! Our King desires to have a personal relationship with each of His subjects. Most all of us would not be allowed to approach or address an earthly king, but our King extends His invitation to all of His creation through the Holy Scriptures, "Come unto me". Today let us rejoice that the Lord our God is King!
Rejoice, the
Lord is King! Your Lord and King adore!
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing, and triumph evermore. Lift up your heart, lift up your voice! Rejoice, again I say, rejoice! His kingdom cannot fail, He rules o’er earth and heav’n; The keys of death and hell are to our Jesus giv’n. Lift up your heart, lift up your voice! Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
Be encouraged today, (
Hebrews
3:13)

With Gene Wenger, Pennsylvania Pork King,
about 15 years ago when we toured his operation. Gene was pleased to give me the very first package of ham loaf patties using the new packaging.
