Yeah, right...post often, mmm-hmmm. Actually, I can look at it this way. I am posting early--for Halloween! Yea!
Anyways, I wish I were a poet, I would write of a patient, persistent, and powerful spider...Strange subject, I know! But it is very encouraging! When a little movement caught my eye, as I stepped out on my porch,
I turned to see what was suspended so near, and I saw a grasshopper, 
---------------------er! ok, y'all, check this out! I didn't say a "chopper" a "grasshopper" ok? so why was it up at my eye-level? ah, yes, now you're paying attention! Suspended on ONE tiny cobweb hanging from the eaves--over a yard long! (I measured). A ONE INCH rope of steel is weaker than a one inch rope woven of COBWEBS! Wow! So, that's no big deal to him.
Down came the spider, to wind the hopper up! 
He would wrap a little thread around one part and attach it about 2 inches up. He seemed to have gotten it up about 1/2 inch up when the spider started kicking! So,
Down came the spider, to bite the hopper's head!
I kept checking periodically, and amazingly, by the evening he had gotten the spider about a foot from the roof.
Up went the spider, to have a little nap!
Ok, that may have seemed elementary, but if we Christians would care that much, perservere that much, and work that hard at praying, loving, and sharing the Gospel, I think--with God's help, our nation would be a very different place. BE INSPIRED! So many around us are going on with their lives, watching us, thinking, "They say they're Christians, but obviously it's not that important, or at least not important enough to stop worrying about their hair, new shoes, job, and whether or not they should wear hose to tell us--I don't want that!"
Please, don't lose focus! Jesus is coming onstage soon!--the props are all painted and set up! It's a matter of His choosing the time!
This couple works with my parents and have hired me to work at their house. They are Paul and Bernice Andrus.
