Where did Enoch Get this Information?

Enoch was an amazing man. We hardly know anything about him but what we do know is incredible. He lived 365 years and pleased God so much in those few short years that God took him. Enoch is one of only two humans who didn't die.

What did Enoch know about pleasing God? He had no Google or Wikipedia. He didn't have a lick of the Bible. He had no Abraham, Moses or David as examples. Not even Job was written yet. However, one thing that he did have was Adam. Even though Enoch was seventh from Adam, Adam was still alive for Enoch's entire life. Adam lived to see Enoch's son Methusela.

One of the things that Enoch learned from his great great (5x) grandaddy is found in the book of Jude. Look what Enoch tells us about Eschatology, Jude 14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: "See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones 15 to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him."

That is quite a mouth full for a man with no library. Did he write it down somewhere? Jude knew about this deep saying. Enoch 3,700 years before Christ was waiting for the Lord to come back with his holy ones. Wow. Ponder that.

And they weren't just coming back for a visit. No! They were coming back to judge wicked sinners. Amazing. We wait for the same thing today. Will you be on Enoch's side to judge or will you be waiting in line for your eternal judgment? It's a good time to think about this question.

Daughter and dog...

About six months ago we discovered that Ann was pregnant and were very excited for she and Jackson. We will have babies on this side and that of the Atlantic. We weren't prepared for that news and we we were even less prepared for the news that our little dog is pregnant. To date we have spent more on the dog than on Annie (don't tell her... Ann that is). Ann has yet to discover whether her baby is a boy or girl. Both ultrasound images were inconclusive. Though I did some further investigation of my own and was startled with what I found. to me it looks as if the baby is definitely a boy and has some resemblance from both sides of the family. Take a look for yourself and let me know what you think.

God’s Orchestration

I love to see the Lord work His Salvation miracles. His works are Master Pieces of sweet music. They are arrangements that only He can make happen. Two weeks ago I began my second attempt at cello lessons. I had tried the instrument about five years ago and found my fingers so rusty and decrepit that I had given up after just a few months. So, why my second go? Here’s one short and sweet story. There is a youg man that works with Alexandre at school. He teaches music and is a musical genius. At sixteen he began a city wide music program to train young musicians in Sorocaba. Recently he has worked with two deaf children and has been able to teach them to play violin using a method that he developed. There doesn’t seem to be an instrument that he cannot play. His seventeen year old wife also plays the flute and is studying nursing. They are a very young but very sharp couple. In a conversation after the recent Recital Junior convinced me that it would be a good idea for me to take up...

Abs of Steel with Glasses

Have you ever wondered why Clark Kent always took his glasses off before he turned into Superman? I hadn’t ever thought about it either until this last Saturday when I almost got sucker-punched. Wellington, one of my spunky Juniors, wanted to wrestle. He feigned a punch to my gut and I said, “Go ahead. I have abs of steel!” I think that my gym visits might be going to my head because my abs of steel are buried under a healthy layer of blubber. I have improved my six-pack but it is far from chiseled. It looks more like a quarter of a keg. Anyway, quick as a wink and with near lightening speed Wellington said, “Yeah but up here is made of glass!” as his poke went within a hair’s breadth of my glasses! I belly-laughed. His rapid reflexes and wit had caught me by surprise. And what he said was so true and funny. It was an excellent though brief lesson. I often prepare for an oncoming fray. I get ready, set and then “BLAM”! The proverbial punch comes from a totally different direction. ...
