    Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. 

Philippians 6:14-18

    Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Mark 10:42-45

    Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

         
          Monday November 18 th ~

      Here in Austin, Texas I published the newsletter from the home of Brother Richard who provided a place to park, plug-in and shower for the past few days. Then drove to north Austin for lunch with David (ministry's technical adviser) who has provided a bunch of printing ink for assembling more Cd's. He even offered a larger television to replace the one he'd given me last year, but I had to stick with the smaller one, due to the space limitations in the van.

     Turned west out to Lakeway, Texas in time for Barb's "Home Group/Worship Service/Fellowship Dinner" where I enjoyed the honor of contributing quite a few songs and some thoughts.

          Tuesday November 19 th ~
