Stranded!


Imagine being stranded!

If you were stranded, if you could select your destination, where would you choose? How about the Keebler Elf Cookie factory? I wouldn’t mind….and if I had a gallon of milk in hand, I would be set!

Hershey, Pennsylvania would be great!

 I wouldn’t cry if I was locked in overnight at Mardels Christian bookstore….provided I had a flashlight!

What if stranded did not include cookies or books…what if stranded meant a remote location…like....no I am not thinking of Wyoming…how about a deserted island?

No movies stars or professors…just you and one study Bible! Okay, Okay three study Bibles…and plenty of water and food, and shelter. Rescue would be a year away.

Which three study Bibles would you want?

I would want, in order:

1. The MacArthur Study Bible


2. The Nelson Study Bible


3. The ESV Study Bible.

Why? MacArthur? He is serious about God’s Word, he is a Scholar in the first order; the study notes are outstanding, and his theology (Understanding Doctrine, the teachings of the Bible) is superb.

Why? The Nelson Study Bible? In a similar way it is very detailed, helpful and provides many insights about various Biblical truths in concise and thorough articles.

Why the ESV Study Bible? Great study notes, color charts all through the books of the Bible….and it weighs five pounds!

 I could curl it…and slowly melt away all those Keebler Cookies!

A year after my desert island adventure…I would know so much more about God’s Word…if I had these three Bibles with me, provided I read them!

Don’t wait to be stranded to own and use the three finest Study Bibles in the world!

Michelle Robin Hensley November 11th 1969 - September 15th 2009 "We believe as Christians, that when our loved ones die, they go to be with the Lord. The Bible teaches that the Lord is with us. Well if they are with Him, and He is with us...they cannot be very far away" Peter Marshall My Dear Friend's, September 15 at 10:35 pm, my wonderful and Godly 39 year old sister Michelle, stepped into the presence of our Glorious Lord and King . Thank you for your wonderful support and kindness and understanding, our family has felt your care and warmth. I will forever be thankful that I came "Home" to be with her and my mom arriving Tuesday morning. Shell was unresponsive and in a coma all day. She was blessed to be comforted by Mom, my brother Mike, his wife Chrissie, and their two sons Caleb, and Josh. Barbara, my mother in law was there throughout the day, and part of the eveing. Several of Shell's friends came as well. Hospice was great (every step of the way) a

In Honor of Peter Marshall.

In Memory of a Man who was after God's own heart. As a younger minister my heart warmed to His preaching, (From recorded sermons) the soaring diction, the impassioned eloquent proclamation of truth, through a life consumed by Christ! As a middle aged Pastor now, the memory of this incomparable Preacher continues to inspire! I am so looking forward to meeting Dr. Marshall in heaven! Few people in my life's journey have touched me as deeply as the late Peter Marshall. Here is just a sample of his profound way of turning a phrase... • A different world cannot be built by indifferent people. • Give to us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for - because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything. • God will not permit any troubles to come upon us, unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty. • If you hug to yourself any resentment against anybody else, you destroy the bridge by which God would come t

              A year ago today, hearts were breaking, tears were flowing and pain left us nearly breathless.   A year ago we said a teary temporary (Thank God) farewell (Christians, never say goodbye, for the final time) to Michelle Robin Hensley , my sister, my dear friend.  The 12 months that we have walked and sometimes stumbled through, have been difficult.   The Lord has, as He promised, bore our burdens, comforted  hearts....and dried tears.   Oh they still come , often, I think they always will .  There is so much we miss , about you, so much we want to share with you .  I know that in some way you know what we are doing.... maybe in more detail than we can imagine. I still have a lump in my throat from time to time ....and missing you is a pale way to describe the ache.... but I know you are with the Lord ....and I am comforted . There are no words to describe how much we miss you . Your laughter , your wit ...your timing always spot on! I picture you now in
