Rudd's blog

Hello Folks,
     Well, Ruth went to visit the kids for a week and I am having to make it on my own.  My daughter bought a table that would not fit in their car so Ruth had to use my truck to deliver it this week.  I do not like being without my truck but for my daughter I will suffer this week.  Last night I had to cook my own dinner.  I grilled out a steak and put some mac and cheese in the microwave and did pretty good with food.  But I must admit that I miss having Ruth there with me--the house seems empty and I do not like not having her there.  What I won't do for my daughter.
     I wonder if God does not use the common things like my love for my daughter to remind us of His love for us?  As Jesus said in Matt 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children; how much more shall your Father which is is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?  I personally find it amazing that God would bother to forgive a one such as I.  You may deserve all that God would give you, even though I really doubt it, but I certainly do not!  He has been so good to me that I could never express it clearly enough.  Words fail me and my vocabulary is not large enough to be able to express it like it should be expressed.  He certainly is a wonderful Father to me.
     This next Sunday Charlotte McPherson will be speaking in our congregation. She works in Turkey and we have a wonderful relationship with her.  Her insights into the Muslim world is something that will be of great benefit to us.  She will be leading a conference at Pastor's Fellowship in Winchester, Ky on May 7-8 if you can be there it would be beneficial to you.
     May the Lord bless you all.
