[Faith-talk] 5/10/16 Quotes and Some News Tidbits

[Paul Smith]

Hello and greetings to you all on a Tuesday, the day which the Lord has 
made (Ps. 118:24).  I hope that you are all doing well today, by God's 
matchless grace and His providential care.

Here are today's quotes for your consideration, pondering and reflection.

Some lessons of patience take a long time to learn.

When the Spirit prompts, take action.

And there you have the quotes, but stay tuned to the latest news.

Portland, Oregon--This week, beginning today, the United Methodist 
Church is to have their general conference which takes place every four 
years.  On the docket is a proposal to allow homosexuals to officiate 
as pastors in this denomination.  However William Lampyre, director of 
a group called United Methodist Action, is standing firm on this 
church's official stand that they will not allow such people to serve 
as pastors, and that marriage should be solely between one man and one woman.

Denver CO--It looks like another subspecies of the marijuana industry 
will be created, namely, marijuana couriers which would allow stores to 
display the weed openly on shelves, but all of this is provided the 
governor signs the bill into law.

Another item that caught my attention is that the U.S. Treasury is 
planning to issue $5 gold pieces to help fund research for breast 
cancer treatment options, but the coins themselves, slated to be about 
50,000, will cost considerably more than the $5 seen on them.  $35 of 
each coin will be used in the research effort.

And that will do it for the quotes and the news.  Until tomorrow when, 
Lord willing more of the same will be presented, I am your obedient 
servant of the One who lived an earthly existence, died to pay for your 
sins and mine, and now lives forever to bring us His salvation and 
peace, Oil of Gladness.
