Wanna look sharp for Jesus


Saturday eve. I spoke about the lost sheep, coins and son in Luke 15

The kids got to bleat like sheep and helped me look for the lost one. The screamed with joy as I put one of the small ones on my sholder and announced he was found. They related to the lost coins. Because of post war inflation it now takes 70 Liberian Dollars to equal one american dollar. There coins are rare dow the smallest bill they use ia a $5 bill. When I asked if any had any coins many have lost them , because their not used anymore..


There was lots of good singing. One of their favorite is tomorrow tomorrow What will you say tomorrow when Jesus comes and you reject him today.

What will you say?

Sat eve. I had the privilege of staying at preacher Festus Flomos home. He said it was a 5min walk I think that was 5 Liberian minutes more like 45 American. I voluntered to cary two plastic chairs on my head, after 15 min I wish I had not. Then I looked beside me and a 10 yr boy was caring a 8' wooden bench, time to stop whinning. We arrived at there home in was in an area of rolling hills , a new settlement with lots of new buildings. Flomos home was block two small bedrooms 8x10 and a large 10x20 room that was used for church service.


They insisted I sleep in their bed and gave me a new sheet still in the pacage. Iaccepted and they slept on the floor with the 5 children.


Sunday morning came early 4:30 am . Children were up repeating scripture. The Lord is my shepherd. This was followed by prayer. The prayer was simple and meaninful Lord we thank you we are among the counted. Somebody wanna praise you, somebody wanna dance, somebody wanna hear your word but they cant, they in the hospital or the morgue but we can cause we counted among the living.
