Saddle up your Horses!!

As Gene Autry would say... it’s almost time to be “BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN!!!!!!”

The devil is coming against us on making our way to the battle front at the Mardi Gras. God’s Word says “greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world!!!!! “

Or as Emeril would say---------“Kick it up another notch!!!”

When I started witnessing on the streets back in the early 70’s, I dreaded winter because it was not good for witnessing on the streets. Then one day, I read that if we don’t “sow” when it is cold, we won’t “reap” when it is warm. That changed my attitude on winter. Let’s get on the ball in this winter time of sowing, getting the men together for a great trip SOUTH where it is warm, to “reap” a crop of souls for our Lord.

Can you believe that I have a story that explains the situation? A group was going out witnessing in the winter and dropped by to ask a friend to go with them. He said that it was too cold and that he was just going to sit by the fire. On several other witnessing opportunities they asked their friend to go out with them, but he said that it was too cold and that he was just going to sit by the fire.

Later the friend died and some folks say that he went higher, but if it was like it usually was, he’s STILL sitting by the fire!!! Nough said!!!!!!
