How Deep Is Your Love?

“When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find
it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see
that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.”

- Khalil Gibran
(06 Jan 1883 - 06 Apr 1931)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

   July 1? Already??

July 1 is the 182nd day of the year (183rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 183 days remaining until the end of the year. The end of this day marks the halfway point of a leap year.
It also falls on the same day of the week as New Year's Day in a leap year.

   I like this song.

      From Harry Covert ('57) of MD - 06/30/16 - "VIGILS and the BULLY PULPIT":
 

The Awful Effects of Continuing Terrorism

By Harry M. Covert

The time has come for a real vigil. Using this bully pulpit something must be done to halt the slide to “Hell in a Handbasket” as a humorist of yore penned a half-century ago.

Were I extolling on a pastoral platform at this very moment I would most certainly disclaim use of the caustic word for the netherworld. Preachers should avoid using such adjectives while representing The Almighty on divine premises. No slips.

Of late lots of well-meaning people have been conducting vigils, carrying lit candles, holding hands and moaning and mooning over the awful murders not just in Florida but throughout the country in Baltimore, Chicago, Texas and other states.

These deaths and injuries are quite awful, terrifying and petrifying for the continuation of society as we know it.

At the risk of appearing cynical or uncaring, which I am not, everybody is missing the cause for the terror, murder and mayhem which seems to be the most popular thing of the present. This is not a joke. All of us are at risk. It’s easy to say if victims had side arms at the ready the results would be different. Not so. I’m a true believer in the right to pack and carry concealed weapons.

It was nice to see Frederick, Maryland citizens congregate for a vigil. Missing from the conversations and speeches and wishing, no talk was made about changing the hearts of the people.

My questions here in a land of lots of churches of all persuasions, where are the pastors and Sunday school teachers emphasizing the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule and Biblical teachings? The time has come for a new Christian Renaissance. The constant barrage to remove public expressions of Christian convictions is the culprit leading to the ruination of a society.

Yes, the state, the county and the nation recognize freedom of religion. But, the current crop of crusaders forgets that the nation was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics. This won’t be popular probably, but the founding principles did not include Islam, Buddha, Hari Krishna, Baha’ or worshipers who use Peyote or medicinal marijuana. The founders wanted tolerance.

◄◄◄◄◄

It doesn’t take genius to see the many social disruptions destroying individual and family lifestyles. Matters of drug use are no joke. Cocaine is rampant. How often entertainment shows present sniffing the white stuff which really shows young people how to try it. A wag I know once suggested a weekend “sniff-off” so users could load up and spare the community of much criminal activity. It wasn’t funny and didn’t get anywhere.

How many church people are criticized as “Bible Bangers?” Cute. But those using the words are usually bottom feeders, lost in evil activities, problems in themselves and family members. Frankly they are generally ne’er-do-wells. Check out the jails.

To put all this in perspective, evangelical churches now must take the lead in Reforming lifestyles, people and teaching right and wrong. It isn’t difficult. Yes lots of so-called meeting houses are busy ignoring the Gospel message, no longer paying attention to sin. Heavenly days! I used that word. Well, murder is s-i-n, reprobate lifestyles are s-i-n. Those who say they are called to ministry must remind themselves, “woe…unto me if I preach not the Gospel.”

It is indeed sad when innocents are murdered willy-nilly by a knucklehead, terrorist or deranged person of any persuasion. The issue isn’t a hand gun or AR-15 or shiv or switchblade or Molotov cocktail. Bad people must not be able to buy them. While all the hand-wringing gains steam, a silly congressional sit-in won’t change a thing. They can try for a little publicity but most people think they’re out of it and they are.

◄◄◄◄◄

Pastors have a huge responsibility. As far as I have recounted no evangelicals in Frederick were holding candles, beating their breasts and ignoring the elements of terrorism, murder and religious turmoil. I trust they were preparing for a real vigil, making some elocutions for fire-breathing sermons. Right now, we’re having “h-e-l-l” on earth.

There must be a modern-day Billy Sunday, the former Chicago White Stockings baseball player and evangelist; a neo-Billy Graham; a preacher like E. M. Bounds; or pulpiteer resembling Dwight Moody; or John Wesley or the late great John R. W. Stott. There are others, too.

All right, everybody who wants to go to Heaven raise your hand.

Dismissed.

FINALLY:

From www.ajokeaday.com - 06/28/15:

Recently scientists revealed that beer contains small traces of female hormones.

To prove their theory, the scientists fed 100 men 12 pints of beer and observed that 100% of them gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became emotional, and couldn’t drive.

No further testing is planned.

How Deep is Your Love?

Written by Barry (b. 01 Sept 1946), Robin (b. 22 Dec 1949), and Maurice Gibb (22 Dec 1949 – 12 Jan 2003)

Recorded by The Bee Gees, 1977


I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love
Then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?

How deep is your love
How deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside
That I really do

And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love
How deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

And you come to me on a summer breeze,
Keep me warm in your love
Then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?

How deep is your love
How deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
