Clean and Happy

[Kit Sober]

Yesterday I reread the Betty Baxter story. It can be found on the web, in both video on utube

from 2008 and the text version here http://ag.org/wim/06...baxterstory.cfm and in many other places. (When you run this utube, there are others, too, of Betty Baxter giving her story.)

In 1941, at the age of 14, after a lifetime of increasingly crippling disabilities and pain. Jesus came and healed her on August 24, 1941 at 3:00 pm. The story is as profound and inspiring as the day it happened. A few years ago I found her web site through some email or something and ordered a couple of cds of her teaching and received her newsletter. (I don't have them now. I gave them to some friend. I don't keep a lot of stuff anymore.) She may have passed away because I can't find her website or newsletter address and only references about her. But nonetheless it was a delight to receive her stuff, and seeing and hearing her testimony just yesterday was an uplifting blessing.

Also there is the "Prison to Praise" guy, Merlin Carothers, retired military chaplain who is now in his 80's maybe even his 90s and still lives and preaches his "giving thanks in all things" ministry and helping people and we do get his newsletters and have been doing so for more than 10 years since we found him. Still love to get and read his stuff. Merlin Carothers' website: http://foundationofpraise.org/ (The Foundation of Praise). It has a video of him on it. Nice to watch.

Just received, "Nearing Home," Billy Graham's newest book, and it's got the same glorious message of Jesus Christ and Him crucified and raised from the dead for you and me. The Billy Graham website is http://www.billygraham.org His son, Ralph Graham is at the helm of the ministry now, but they are all still preaching the same stuff.

These people and many others have remained faithful and their words are as clean and good today as ever because their lives were and are true to the Lord they served, without hypocrisy.

And I was also reminded that my stuff (reading from a journal entry circa 1995 and I would stand by the same words today to me as i wrote then, which was comforting and nice to see.

In contrast, I was sent in an email a link to some vpw stuff: http://www.archive.o...query=wierwille . Some people still like to see this; however, for me, it's creepy,and I can't understand someone liking stuff that was used to lure people into a web of filth like that twi place. It was comforting to me to see that in the annals of "famous people of Christianity" which came with my pc Bible program, vp isn't even mentioned.

God has always been faithful. Jesus Christ has always been true and faithful, yesterday, today, and forever. I hope I can be like that.
