Grandson Daniel's 13th birthday!

Daniel Louis Martin - now 13!

We all gathered together at Josh and Chelsie Martin's home (son and daughter-in-law) to celebrate their oldest son's 13th birthday. Daniel enjoyed his gifts. His two brothers, Logan and Jensen, and sister Dylan Joy also had a good time seeing him open his presents.

Among the gifts were a New American Standard Bible, an autographed #24 Jeff Gordon (NASCAR) hat (from both granddads), a MineCraft software program, a $50 bill, a nice T-shirt and a Swiss knife.

Greetings to all of thee.

Let's get together again! 

("Come together, right now...")

Missed fellowship will all of your old church and ministry friends? The ones the Lord did indeed join you together with? We sure have. 

So let's do something about it.

Let's have a BIG reunion! 

I say it's "Reunionize Time!"

It truly is time to get it back together. We need to stop the enemy from robbing our joy, peace and love for one other, that our Good Father intended, and still does, for us to share with one another.

It is time to come out of our houses, off the couch, and participate once again in His purposes for each of us together. It just is.

So...we are willing to start.

If there are any of our connected e-mailers, Bloggers, Twittervillees and/or FaceBookie friends out there, who either went to church with Laurie and I, or were on ministry staffs or worship teams, or are part of the three main ministries we are currently involved with...did I leave out anyone? (Sure hope not.)

So let's do something about it.

Abbas Declares Future State 'Judenrein'

CBNNews.com 

Wednesday, July 31, 2013

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas said no Jews, civilian or otherwise, would be permitted to live in the future Palestinian state he envisions.
Abbas made his remarks Monday during a visit to Cairo.

"In a final resolution, we would not see the presence of a single Israeli -- civilian or soldier -- on our lands," he said, according to Reuters.

For a man who wrote his doctoral thesis on Holocaust denial, some analysts say Abbas latest statements calling for a Judenrein (Jew-free) state aren't surprising. 

In his dissertation, Abbas alleged that Zionist leaders inflated the number of Jews killed during the Holocaust.

"It seems that the interest of the Zionist movement, however, is to inflate this figure so that their gains will be greater," he wrote. "Many scholars have debated the figure of six million and reach stunning conclusions -- fixing the number of Jewish victims at only a few hundred thousand."

According to Abbas, Zionist leaders encouraged Nazi persecution first so Jews would immigrate and secondly because "having more victims meant greater rights and stronger privilege to join the negotiation table for dividing the spoils of war once it was over."

Abbas spent some 30 years at the side of the late PLO chairman Yasser Arafat.

Published on Jul 31, 2013

At the annual Subra family reunion (Everett Willard and Lucy Yarwood Subra family) on July 27, 2013 in Winona, Minnesota, grandson Kevin Subra (my cousin) shares some history of the family, beginning during the Civil War days with Stephen Subra. He then follows it through to days in Minnesota and onward.

Seven of the original nine children of Everett & Lucy were able to attend this year. Many of their children also, including myself from Charlotte, NC.

Firebrands In God's Hand

---

The enemy is about to hear from our children and grandchildren beginning this season.  Watch and expect the passion for Christ to run wild like a raging fire inside of them. The Lord has allowed them to be placed in strategic locations in the earth and even in some unusual places where we might think they shouldn’t be.  Even in prisons, homeless on the streets, or wherever they are being held in satan’s grip.  They have now been divinely positioned to become a firebrand in God’s hand to ignite and explode like dynamite inside the camp of the enemy! This is why the enemy forever has fought against marriages. He feared concerning the Godly seed that was about to come upon the earth to do him in!  And here they come! Genesis 22:17 ( Message Bible ) “Your descendants will defeat their enemies.” If a coin was found in a fish's mouth, maybe there is a connection between our mouth and our money.  How many times have we said, "I'm broke, I'm sick, I'm catching a cold," and watched it come to pass? Little do we realize that when we open our mouth we are prophesying either good or bad!  Why not say, "I have all the money I will ever need! I'm being attacked by healing! Healing runs in my family! I heard a saying once that even a fish would stay out of trouble if it learned to keep its mouth shut! Blessings, Bill Yount

Subra Family Reunion in Winona, Minnesota - seven siblings and their children

Subra reunion in Winona, MN July 27, 2013

On July 27, 2013, the Subra family of Everett Willard Subra and Lucy J. Yarwood Subra (both have passed on) held their annual reunion in Winona, MN. Of the original nine siblings, seven were there. These were Doris, Violet, Lavonne, Lila (my Mom), Glen, Lorraine (the reunion host this year), and Loren.

Roger Subra has passed on (but his wife Marliyn, daughter Cheryl and son Jim were there) and Irene, the oldest, was unable to attend.

In this video, each sibling had their children, who were present with them, to come and stand with them for photo opportunities.
