A
large sprayer
passing a
horse and
buggy along
Prescott Road
in Lebanon
County, PA.
Brooksyne
takes many
photos through
the windshield
and just prior
to this we had
a view of the
sprayer
directly
behind the
buggy giving
an illusion
that it was
going to drive
over it.
"Watchmen Warnings" Message
summary:
Let
your message
to the world
be filled with
both warning
and hope! Listen to our message on your audio player. “I
have posted
watchmen on
your walls, O
Jerusalem;
they will
never be
silent day or
night. You who
call on the
LORD, give
yourselves no
rest” (Isaiah
62:6). “To
whom can I
speak and give
warning? Who
will listen to
me? Their ears
are closed so
they cannot
hear. The word
of the LORD is
offensive to
them; they
find no
pleasure in
it” (Ezekiel
6:10). “Son of
man, I have
made you a
watchman for
the house of
Israel; so
hear the word
I speak and
give them
warning from
Me” (Ezekiel
33:7). Richard, with a smile on his face quizzed me, “Do you know what they call those folks?” I shook my head and he responded, “evanjellycal”, in the sense that too many leader’s convictions to uphold truth are like jellyfish, no backbone! Today’s
texts are
powerful
portions of
Holy Scripture
about a
watchman who
was called to
give warnings
from God. We
still very
much need
these types of
obedient
watchmen who
faithfully
proclaim God’s
Word. However
when we hear
spiritual
warnings we
can either
give
attention,
grow annoyed
or be offended
at the message
directed to
us. We can
either respond
and make
needed changes
or we can
react by
rejecting the
warning.
That’s what
the second
verse teaches
that we can
easily see in
our own time:
“To whom
can I speak
and give
warning? Who
will listen to
me? Their ears
are closed so
they cannot
hear. The word
of the LORD is
offensive to
them; they
find no
pleasure in
it”
(Ezekiel
6:10). Be encouraged today, Hebrews 3:13

Greater
Vision
As a chaplain
I am no longer
a pastor of a
local church
but rather
have a
pastoral role
out in the
highways and
byways of life
where many are
weary and sad.
Now, as far as
congregational
life, I do
more listening
than preaching
and can state
as a listener
that sermons
that convict
and challenge
are welcomed
and
appreciated.
This song,
"Preacher Tell
It Like It Is"
reflects the
truth that
other people
of faith feel
this way as
well. ![]()
Yesterday
morning
driving
through rural
eastern
Lebanon County
we passed
buggy after
buggy,
including the
one in our
lead photo. We
saw the
buggies
turning down a
lane and since
we had been
talking about
auctions
wondered if it
was an auction
so I drove in.
Well, it turns
out it was a
funeral, not
an auction. As
you can see
there are many
vehicles there
as well as a
small bus.
These are
rented to
bring large
out of town
groups. After
waiting my
turn I was
able to turn
around in
front of the
bus giving the
appearance
that I was
just dropping
someone off. I
shared a
message to a
group of
employees a
few minutes
after passing
this scene and
shared a
supreme
Scriptural
truth and
warning, "Just
as people are
destined to
die once, and
after that to
face judgment"
(Hebrews
9:27).

Here's
another photo
of our robin
nest in a
Hydrangea tree
beside our
deck. As of
this morning
all the eggs
have hatched
but one.

Mother
Robin keeping
a watchful
eye. Her nest
is in a rather
exposed area
at eye level
when we are on
the deck and
only slightly
above my head
level when I'm
on the ground.
She must feel
like she can
trust us by
now as I
believe this
is her second
family in our
deck area.
Thankfully,
she didn't try
to rebuild her
nest on our
fan in the
pavilion. We
gave up
outdoor eating
for nearly a
month to
accommodate
her family in
the early
spring.
