5 Finger Gospel

I asked the Church youth the other day what is the gospel? Some said. God, the bible, Jesus. None really knew how to explain the gospel. We had to get to the answer together. So I was thinking about a way to teach the gospel. Take your hand, the index is 1 and the thumb is five.

Here is the gospel in 5

1. Creator God (points up). Creation proves the creator.
2. God and man were together but sin seperated man from God (2 together become 1 and 2 apart)
3. God Sent Jesus. The Super 3. Father, Son, and Spirit. God with us.
4. Jesus died 4 our sins and rose again
5. If we accept Jesus as Lord (leader) Savior we (points to himself) will live forever.

So thats my Gospel in five.

Wonder where the sleep has Gone

Bury me Beaneath the Pine Tree

It seems there is an endless drive in my mind and spirit to find the yet undiscovered cemetery. At the best I figure it comes from two places. I remember walking in the graveyard across from the church in Glenmora looking for old relatives. Whenever we we were there we also walked to the other cemetary to see pa pa and ma ma mac. One of the great things my grandfather Ed Cone did was find and old cemetery and improve it. Those two things plus a general curiosity have led me to find and seek out yet undiscovered cemeteries.

I wonder about the names that are there. Who were they? How did they die? I imagine about the families that lost young multiple children. Or the war veterans. I look for the soilders, mothers and fathers. I wonder about the unmarked graves.

If I had the choice I would like to be burried at the Old Jerusalem Church Cemetery in Bryan County. Its off the highway down a dirt road. It is a clear square surrounded by pine trees.

I know that the resting place is only a temporay piece of the puzzle. I like cemeteries. They don't reallly spook me or scare me. They are usually quiet serene places. The other day I discovered one of bullochs old ones. It was in the far reaches of the county. One day I hope people visit me when I am gone and know that I considered my plot a happy place not a sad place.

Bury me Beneath the Old Pine tree Lord
So I can hear the wind beneath my feet
Lead me to Jerusalem so I can walk the streets of God

In Kenya this week many have lost their life due to voting. And once again i Africa the tribal wars have begun to beat their drums in a land that has had much peace and success.

"With a booming economy and tourist trade, Kenya had been considered a bright spot in East Africa. But its Dec. 27 election, which was supposed to be the pride of African democracy, sparked a spiral of violence after candidate Raila Odinga and his supporters accused incumbent President Mwai Kibaki of rigging the results. (Time)"

On Jan. 1, a church in Kiambaa where Kikuyu had sought refuge was burned by an angry mob. At least 50 people, many of them women and children, died in the attack

Ethopia

Ethiopian-backed troops are in "complete control" of Somalia's capital after fierce fighting, the PM says. (BBC News)

The 1st thing I remember about ethopia is the (84-85) Famine. I think most of us remember the images on tv. Of course for me I was a youngin so I saw it recapped. I'd say it is one of the events that led america to wake up to africa and the things that were going over there.

In 1652, the first enslaved Africans in North America were brought from Sierra Leone to the Sea Islands off the coast of the Southern United States. During the 1700s there was a thriving trade bringing slaves from Sierra Leone to the plantations of South Carolina and Georgia, where their rice-farming skills made them particularly valuable

There is an ex rice plantation now that is a natural reserve appx 10 mins north of the house I was raised in in brunswick.
