A Note From the Editor:

"Always Busy...most of the time"

I am thankful that I cannot honestly say that I have been crazy busy for the last two months. No, a hectic schedule has not been my excuse. Well, except for last week when I woke to a basement full of water, but that is another story... Up until a week or two ago I was privileged to spend some time vacationing with my wife. Maybe sometime I will take the time to write about some of the sights of our travels, but for now it is enough for me to say that I am back at my desk and will continue putting these magazines together as long as there are both those who are kind enough to make submissions and those who are gracious enough to read what we have written. This issue is likely to be a little longer than the ones before it because of the submissions that have happily stacked up on my desk in my absence.

On another note, I do want to thank Brother Ryan King and the good people of Bethel Baptist Church in Westville, Nova Scotia who did an admirable job in hosting the 2015 national pastor's conference. The meeting was an encouragement to my heart. The speakers did a fantastic job. You can find the recorded sermons at www.sailingtogether.org

So Says Sam Jones:

God Almighty was four hundred years getting up this Book and every want of the universe can be supplied out of this Book. If I had the billions of men of earth before me I would refer them to this precious Book. Here's a blessed balm for every wound, a cure for every ill. Thank God for this precious Book, divinely written and divinely given to save the world.

When you think a preacher has got wings you are mistaken.
