Arlyn Zee Steve Sievers We wake every day and try to be in the paths found in Psalm 1; blessed is the man who walks not here or sits there or stands over there. We try to set our minds on good things and our works on bringing forth good fruits. Psalms says we will prosper in doing this, yet as we check our mail or look at the news or anything nowadays, it's all about a never- ending spiel of lies. Some are gonna go here or there and do this or that. Two days later, nobody has done anything or is going to do anything, but send me $25 anyway. How bewildering things have gotten. The recent Aug. 13 motorcycle ride to Dearborn is a prime example. Psalms 2 says they rise up together in a rage and plot vain things. Some thought now something is really gonna happen here, but they only cussed one another and said bad words and then went back home. These vain things bewilder us greatly. Prayer & thought: Let us consider this: Even though nations rage and men take on the character of a perilous time, the Lord's timetable has not one second of time. There is still gonna be a moment when the time of the Gentiles is over. A time when the gospel will be preached one last time, a last decision made and one last baptism, and then, Matthew 24:14 says, the end will come. Not yet 56 OLD ALLIS NEWS
