Summer is here for a few days. Cold front coming soon. WV was just getting into spring and in MD the red bud was just blooming. They must be a good 6 weeks behind us. Summer vacation has begun for us and so of course we are busy working. The yard and garden are starting to come together. The tool shed is nearly cleaned out and we will be making several trips to the garbage dump this week. Now there is just the barn, painting, attic, etc. I think the summer will be gone before I know it! ________ I watched a CNN clip while I was at my parents. It was about pornography. There was a group passing out booklets to people at a conference or some such thing. It was called Jesus Loves Pornography Stars. I was taken aback at first, but then I realized what they meant. Jesus hurts for their souls and wants them to come to him. He loves them. There was a minister from Michigan that is reaching out to those addicted to porn, and a rehab place in Kentucky that helps people who are addicted to it. The next clip I saw was the DC Madam. They said they got hold of her books and there were over 10,000 names! Though they claim it is sex free- just escort services, massage, etc.- I had to think that Jesus loves these men and women too. In a very sexualized country and culture, it is hard to turn to Jesus completely. That must be what it was like for the first century church. There is nothing new under the sun.
