1611 KJV Bible. Exodus 19:1-6

"[1]In the third moneth when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wildernesse of Sinai.
[2]For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wildernesse, and there Israel camped before the mount.
[3]And Moses went vp vnto God: and the Lord called vnto him out of the mountaine, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Iacob, and tell the children of Israel:
[4]Ye haue seene what I did vnto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on Eagles wings, and brought you vnto my selfe.
[5]Now therfore if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keepe my couenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure vnto me aboue all people: for all the earth is mine.
[6]And ye shall be vnto me a kingdome of Priestes, and an holy nation. These are the wordes which thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel."

Yes, we are saved by grace, but . . we are still to obey His Word . .
It will be great to be in heaven . .
How much better to arrive having done our best to follow the rules He so carefully laid out for believers in the New Testament!!

Cloudscaping a la God

1611 KJV Bible ~ Exodus 17:6-7

"[6]Behold, I will stand before thee there, vpon the rocke in Horeb, and thou shalt smite the rocke, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drinke. And Moses did so, in the sight of the Elders of Israel.
[7]And hee called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord amongst vs, or not?" 

There is so much quiet comfort in knowing that God is always there and will always provide.

Campsites at Legacy Paintball Park

This is a really nice paintball park in Lockport, IL. It's part of the Lockport Park District and, I believe, also a part of Dellwood Park.

My Absence and Missing You . .

Hi .  yes, I'm back . . I've been over at my new site . . www.patreon.com/KarenJoyce . . and, although I really love their format I've missed all of you terribly! Soooo . . I've decided to write on both platforms for a while . . please visit me on both and tell me what you think . .
Now, all that I post here is free and most that I post on Patreon is also free . . the purpose of moving to Patreon was to potentially turn my writing into more of a career thereby paying enough if my bills to allow me more time to write thus turning out better quality for you. I do have one (1) adorable supportive patron who is appreciated but very little other traffic . .
Could all you sweet people stop by my Patreon, check out all the free articles I've written and photos of the area and leave me some comments as to what you think of that format vs this one?
I'd really appreciate any kind input . . Thanks in advance :)
