Two years ago we joined the ranks of Grandparentdom. We were excited and filled with anticipation. Deb was in the room with our daughter, Megan as she prepared to give birth. I had been privileged to witness the birth of both our children but now it was my turn to play the role of the guy pacing in the waiting room. I fulfilled that role well. Knowing fully that our daughter was in God's hands and that He would take care of her, I still worried. Would she pull through okay? Would our new granddaughter be healthy or would there be complications? The only way I'd know was if someone would come out and tell me.

An excerpt from Josprel's upcoming novel, "Beloved Apostate."

Robert L. Xavier, the son of Carlos Xavier, the wrongfully ousted presiding bishop of the Latin Diocese of the now apostate Alliance of Christian Churches, was in a quandary. After his elevation to his father’s former post he acted to solidify his position. His first official act was to convene a meeting of the 648 churches and 783 ministers he supposed were now under his jurisdiction. Only the churches and ministers who were part of the apostate Fresh Wine Movement responded.  The hemorrhage had began and, when it quenched, the Latin Diocese of Alliance of Christian Churches lost 592 congregations, totaling some 325,000 members and 679 ministers, all opposed to the apostasy of the Fresh Wine Movement.

So, I awoke this morning ready for some time with God. On the way down the stairs, I could smell the coffee brewing, Praise God for coffee timers!
As I sat, praying and working through a day in my bible study,I was just really enjoying myself. I reflected on how a friend of mine had mentioned her love of pairing her study time with coffee. We discussed how we almost felt guilty that we sometimes went for the coffee before the Word. But, I've re-thought it, and well, I think there is a happy medium.

Greetings to all!

Today I wanted to touch on an example of taking the "old" with the "new".
