Bill Mitchell is one of my favorite news reporters. He’s been reporting news for awhile. I remember him from when I was growing up and in recent years he has been reporting for News Channel 8 again. In this last year he has quit smoking after 40 years! In the news story, they show him in the “disco years” of channel 8. Another news caster (sports), Chris Lincoln, is also in the old video clips. Here’s the story. It’s a good one:

When my brother was a teenager he got two old-timey trucks and pieced them together into one. For the parts he couldn’t find anywhere he would order them from a catalog. There were a few complications here and there with the truck breaking down but it was an unusual and good experience. Here’s an old truck I saw on Craig’s List that reminds me of his. It’s not the exact year though. The paint was also old and rusty.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Please help me. Help me to live out the qualities of a virtuous, godly and industrious woman like the one in Proverbs 31. Help my husband, me and our children be known for our integrity. In Jesus name. Amen.
10 An excellent wife, who can find?
For her worth is far above jewels.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
13 She looks for wool and flax
And works with her hands in delight.
14 She is like merchant ships;
She brings her food from afar.
15 She rises also while it is still night
And gives food to her household
And portions to her maidens.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
From her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds herself with strength
And makes her arms strong.
18 She senses that her gain is good;
Her lamp does not go out at night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hands grasp the spindle.
20 She extends her hand to the poor,
And she stretches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
For all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies belts to the tradesmen.
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the future.
26 She opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
27 She looks well to the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
29 “Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
31 Give her the product of her hands. And let her works praise her in the gates.

Here’s a site that gives you some good advice on whittling. Read the comments at the bottom. They also offer some practical advice.

Yesterday, November 9, was the National Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. But that doesn’t mean to not pray for oppressed Christian brothers and sisters today. Americans have life easy compared to those in other countries where Christianity is outlawed.

If you are a Christian, you should take serious other brothers and sisters in Christ that are being persecuted. . . Never forget them!
