OLD IS GOOD

Photo by Chris

When I was younger, if I walked into an antique or vintage store, I would feel immediately overwhelmed.  I see nothing but “old”stuff.  It has no value for me.  But then I read T. Davis Bunn’s trilogy of--  “Florians Gate,” “The Amber Room,” and “Winter Palace,” published in 1992 and 1993.  The plot involved antiques smuggled out of a communist nation into the free world and sold. Then the money was smuggled back to the people to buy food.  From then on I decided old was good. These old things could save lives. So we have a few old things that may buy food for somebody some day.  Chris photographed them.  We have the photos for sale on Shutterstock https://www.shutterstock.com/  and IStock https://www.istockphoto.com/.

Proverbs 27:

23 Be sure you know the condition of your flocks,
    give careful attention to your herds;
²⁴ for riches do not endure forever,
    and a crown is not secure for all generations.

Even if you are not a fan of women's college basketball this is a once in a generation talent.  Enjoy seeing this 6 minute video.

Romans 12:6-8 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

CONTEXT

 

A fun video about taking Bible verses out of context.  Back to Bible study for me.  

II Timothy 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
