gravel road

2 Timothy 3:10-17; Ps 119 O Lord, great peace have they who love your law; Mark 12:35-37

Words of Paul: "all who want to live religiously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted."


How's that for encouragement and boost to morale!  You want to live religiously then you will need to experience what Christ experienced, persecution.

The road will not be smooth.  The road will get rough.  We need to be ready.

We are a lot like Roosevelt's  Rough riders.  A rag tag of volunteers who are equipped for the task at hand.

As Paul continues, "all scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work."

Competent and equipped we are as we travel the rough road ahead paved with the sacrifice of Christ's blood.  

On ward we go, through the highs and lows for

True love travels on a gravel road!


Here is a song tried by Elvis and even Willie

"How many girls choose cotton dress worlds
When they could have satins and lace
And stand by her man, never once letting shade touch her face
How many hearts could live through all the winters
We've known and still not be cold
True love travels on a gravel road.

Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger
All through streets paved with gold
For true love travels on a gravel road.

Down through the years we've had hard times and tears
But they only helped our love grow
[True Love Travels On A Gravel Road lyrics on http://www.elyricsworld.com]

And we'll stay together no matter how strong the wind blows
Not once have I seen your blue eyes filled with envy
Or stray from the one that you hold
Oh true love travels on a gravel road.

Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger
All through streets paved with gold
For true love travels on a gravel road.

Yeah, true love travels on a gravel road. Mmmm
True love travels on a gravel road.
True love travels on a gravel road."

Here is the version by the King himself, and the king can't be wrong.  click here!
