Dr. Charles Stanley: Victory Over Fear

 

  

 

"Do not fear for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you
with My righteous right hand."
(Isaiah 41:10)

 

 How can we live with peace and confidence in the midst of a frightening world?
In this classic sermon, Dr. Charles Stanley explains what causes us to be afraid
and the consequences of living with fear-and how to overcome fear with faith.

Full Harvest Moon Tonight

 

 

 

The brilliant Full Harvest Moon reached peak illumination at 12:49 P.M. EST
 on this last Saturday in the month of September, a day marked by overcast
 skies along with heavy winds and rain for much of the upper Mid-Atlantic
 region due to the presence of a Nor'easter off the East Coast this weekend.  

The storm is expected to stall out near northern New Jersey and Long Island,
New York bringing with it major coastal flooding, high damaging winds,
beach erosion and power outages.

Unfortunately, the moon being full again tonight will only increase the size of  
the waves and ocean tides, making the flooding even worse in some areas.

 According to the latest update from FOX Weather, the Jersey shore remains 
under a High Wind Warning and Coastal Flood Alert tonight.  In my neck of 
  the woods we remain under a Wind Advisory until noon tomorrow.

🌝 But I hope the moon will be visible where you're at tonight, fellow sky watchers!🌝

Saturday Poetry Corner: It's Midnight. Can You Smell The Rain?

 

 

 

Once upon a midnight, dearies,

As I pondered, not weak, nor weary,

 

Queen of the Night,  Insomnia reigned... 

 

But, alas there came...no ravens 

 

Tap-tapping at the door or the pane,

 

Or tap-dancing across my chamber floor

 

For that matter!

No ravens for sleeplessness' cure

 

Just good ole rain that

 

The heavens are gonna pour...

 

That's right, folks,

 

Rain, rain, rain,

 

Good ole steady rain for sure! 

 

 

But I think the rain

 

Must be a real pain,

 

And surely a bane

 

To those who dwell

 

Beneath the swell

 

Bereft of a gutter

 

Or some kind of drain...

Flashback Friday: Autumn Leaves

 

 

"Since you went away, the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song...
But I miss you most of all my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall..."

This beautiful rendition of the classic pop-jazz standard,  "Autumn Leaves" 
sung by the smooth, incomparable vocals of the great Nat "King" Cole evokes
 bittersweet memories of the heart, especially with the passage of another 
 summer into fall this week, and on this last Friday of the month of September.

One Woman Fed An Army With These!

✡ Shabbat Shalom, Eretz Israel!✡

💓God Blessings & Peace To All 💓

 

 Gracious host Rivki and chef David from the Lev Haolam kitchen share a
  wholesome treat inspired by the biblical heroine Abigail, a humble, God-
fearing woman married to a boorish man named Nabal, whose quick actions 
 and good cooking saved both her life and the lives of her people. 
She later became the wife of King David.
