  • Rough Times

    Sometime during the reign of Elizabeth I in 16th century England, Thomas Tallis, considered England’s greatest composer at the time, turned his attention to the book of Lamentations. His country had been through a time of turbulence, with four rulers in only a few short years. There had been much tension and turmoil.

    We’ve been seeing black storm clouds on the horizon of the USA.  I believe the storm has moved ashore and is bearing down on us.  An oppression has intensified starting in the summer and now that we’re into the fall.  I taught the Heir Force (5th & 6th graders) about Good News.  I can’t tell you how good that felt to teach on that subject.  It was like a cool glass of water on a hot day.  The US is in much tension and turmoil.  The Bible says that it’s going to get worse before it gets better.   I’m looking to the Good News – the Bible for my comfort.
