America - we need the Lord. Now.

He alone is our help and our salvation.

July 4, 2017

In this special edition of Now Think On This, my heart years for the salvation of the Lord coming to our USA, this United States of America. 

From the beginning, this vast, rich-in-provision land, first given to the First Nations (formerly known as the American Indians), and then the Puritans, the Pilgrims, the Jews, Catholics, plus many forsaken people from many nations looking for a new start and safety, has been set aside for His purposes.

This beautiful land, a mighty blessing, and a haven for many from far and wide, was then purposed and built upon by a people brought together by the Lord Himself, our Father God.

This is the land in which our Founding Fathers gave their lives, resources, and established, using sound, biblical values to form a government - that which our US Constitution is based.

This is the land...O God bless our land!...as we repent of our sins, turn from our wicked ways, and seek the Living God of Israel; the same God who inspired and moved on hearts of men and women to come to America.

Today, and every day, let us seek the Lord's face; let us pray like we have never prayed before; let us give thanks that we are still standing, still being a beacon of light in the darkness.

O Lord we cry out to You! 

O Lord, come and heal our land that You have given to us!

We need the Lord more than ever. He alone is our help and our salvation.

With all my love for Jesus and His purposes,

Now think on this,

Teens Volunteer as Pallbearers for Veteran With No Family - TODD STARNES CHARISMA NEWS

Teens Volunteer as Pallbearers for Veteran With No Family

1/3/2017 TODD STARNES  CHARISMA NEWS

Navy veteran Jerry Wayne Pino died on Dec. 12 in Long Beach, Mississippi. He was 70 years old.

We don't know that much about Jerry. He was born in Baton Rouge and joined the Navy in New Orleans. He was a petty officer third class in Vietnam. That's the extent of his biography.

No family. No friends. He died alone.

Jerry's body lay unclaimed for several weeks at Riemann Family Funeral Homes.

"No one stepped forward," funeral home worker Cathy Warden told me. "He just didn't have any family."

Miss Cathy explained the situation to her colleague Eva Boomer and together they decided something must be done to give this veteran a proper send off.

"Something had to be done with respect," Miss Cathy said. "We had to give him what he deserved. Nobody should go alone."

Miss Eva, who is also a veteran, wondered if some of the boys at Long Beach High School might be willing to serve as pallbearers. It was a longshot, though, seeing how most of the students were out on Christmas break.

But Miss Cathy called her teenage son Bryce who in turn texted some of his friends—and within a matter of minutes, six young men had volunteered to serve at a stranger's funeral.

Nobody should go alone.

"It was the right thing to do," 17-year-old Bailey Griffin told me. "He served our country. He fought for our rights. For him to be buried with nobody there was just sad. I told myself I was going to do it, and I did it."

They buried Petty Officer Third Class Jerry Pino on a Tuesday. The sun was shining and there was a cool, gulf coast breeze meandering through the Biloxi National Cemetery. An honor guard stood at attention.

The boys were smartly dressed in khaki pants and Sunday shirts and neck ties. They solemnly took their places on either side of the flag-draped coffin and escorted a man they did not know to his final resting place.

"I went out there for the service and cried the whole way through," Miss Cathy said. "He had no one there. This veteran had nobody standing there but these boys."

But what happened at the end of the funeral was incredibly moving and poignant.

The flag that had draped Jerry's coffin was folded and presented to the six young men from Long Beach High School, home of the Bearcats.

"It touched my heart," she said.

It's just proof that moms and dads are doing something right in Long Beach, that's what Miss Cathy said.

"Our community is teaching these boys from the heart how it should be—how to care," she said.

They are still trying to figure out what to do with the flag that draped Jerry's coffin. It's being encased in glass—along with a plaque that bears his name.

There's talk about putting the flag on display at the high school or perhaps inside the locker room where four of the pallbearers play football.

It would be a fitting tribute to a man who died alone but who was buried surrounded by his fellow countrymen.

And oh, what a lesson for the rest of us—demonstrated by a group of young boys from Mississippi who committed in their hearts that nobody should go alone—especially a veteran.

JAMES NESBIT - New Art Releases: Protector of Justice and Angel of Rescue

Share Tweet Forward Multiplied blessings to you and yours! We haven’t communicated in a while as we have been on the road – what a wonderful year we have had!  We just completed the Blue Journey assignment in Kansas City, and the night we were there they had turned the waters blue in celebration of the Royals being in the playoffs; what a way to complete the journey! We had a tremendous breakthrough among the Pueblo in New Mexico as we worshipped on the reservation there. We were hosted by our dear friend Holly Kingsbury, and we are looking forward to worshipping on several reservations next year; our 2016 calendar is pretty busy already, we will we release our 2016 schedule soon. We are releasing two prints at once – they are so connected we felt it important to do so. In December 2014, I created an image called Cover Me which depicted an angel watching over our troops. Our law enforcement officers have been under siege by those advancing lawlessness masquerading as protest for justice, and our fire and rescue teams have been taxed to the limit with all the fires out west – these two images are created in their honor.

We are proud to introduce Protector of Justice and Angel of Rescue to honor those who have given their lives to protect and serve in such toxic times.  To purchase these images, click on them and you will be redirected to our website. Shalom, James
