Apples and Worms

by Clydene Overbey Brenda and I got into a lot of trouble going in her daddys orchard. We knew we were not supposed to bother the fruit especially when it wasnt yet ripe. We were just fascinated by the different fruits. Now it wasnt a big orchard. I think there were about eight or10 trees. There were apples, peaches, apricots and plums. All used for canning, making jellies, etc. for the winter food. We imagined that it was a big magical place. Loved to see the blooms then watch the fruit start to grow anticipating when it could be eaten. Did you ever eat a green apple pie? Yummy! I think the reason we were not supposed to play in there was because of the damage they knew we could do. We wanted to examine each fruit at different stages of its growth. And we always ate some of it too soon. That didnt always make us sick, but sometimes it did. Still we persisted in going in there. Stubbornness ran in our family. Still does. We even picked a bunch of tiny fruit one day to make us a fruit bowl for our table in the play fort. Trouble was Ol Pet (the cow) got in there and ate it. Darned ol cow! We were not to even pick it when it was ripe. Brendas daddy or my auntie did that. Then if they gave us some we could eat it. We wiped it off on our dress tails, boys on their shirttails and wed munch away. Well, one day I decided to get an apple and eat it. The orchard was right across from my house, closer than to Brendas house. I crawled under the barbed wire fence, across the lane and under another barbed wire fence. We were all skilled at crawling under those fences without getting a barb in our back sides. Sometimes we would tear our clothes, but very seldom did we get stuck on the prickly fence. I was in for much worse this time, at least to me it was worse. I should have known that I would be seen. While I was looking for the biggest reddest apple to pick, Norman and Paul showed up. Next was Brenda. The fruit was ripe and was to be picked that evening, so we didnt think anyone would mind if we ate just one. We each picked one and sat down under the tree. We shined our apples. I noticed mine had a few holes in it, but heck fire that was okay with me. I just bit in to that thing and started chewing. I ate two big bites, one on each side of the apple. When I started to take another bite I saw something in the apple that didnt look right. I took my fingernail and dug it out meaning to go ahead and eat my apple. Whats that, Brenda said. Dont know, it was in my apple, I said. I held my hand out and everyone started hollerin, Clydene, its a worm. No it aint, its just a brown spot. Its a worm, Clydene, look. I looked and it was not a worm. Nope, it was half a worm! Yep, half a worm meaning that I had already chewed and swallowed the other half. Yep, sure nuff did. They all started giggling and pointing at me, Clydene ate a worm, Clydene ate a worm. No I didnt, I hollered. Here is the worm. They finally made me realize that I had indeed eaten the other half of the worm. Thats when the fireworks started. I started screamin, cryin, spittin and gaspin. I got sooo sick. I was just mortified. Dont tell anyone, I spluttered. By then Mama had heard me screaming and here she came. She wasnt as adept at crawling under the fences as we were and in trying to hurry she skinned her back on a barb. She didnt spank us because really it was okay for us to eat an apple. She told us in no uncertain terms that we should have asked and she would have given us an apple from the house. I was still spittin and splutterin. When the others told her about the worm she laughed right along with them. Boy I was mad at them. Vowed Id never speak to them again as long as I lived. Course I did. But heck fire they hadnt oughta laughed at me. I was sickern a skunk. I can still picture that half a worm in my hand and I still get a queasy feeling just remembering it. I have never again been able to eat an apple without peeling and quartering it and checking for brown spots. No way. Galatians 5:22 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith. 1 Corinthians 13:13 - And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.

Living Water Assembly of God White Oak

Holding forth the word of life... - Phil. 2:16

LET THE BIBLE SPEAK

by John Brasseaux

Must Matters
Common questions asked by those who would prefer shirking responsibility are: Must I do this? Must I do that? The word must implies that there is need of something to be supplied which is absent or wanting. It means to do something because it is necessary. Lets look at some must matters that are commonly overlooked or ignored. We must be saved in the name of Jesus. There is no other name under heaven given among me by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). The name JESUS! No one will ever be saved in the name of Buddah, Confusius, Mohammed or any other name. Only Jesus is Savior. Only Jesus is the Son of the living God. Only that name will do. We must believe what God had spoken. Without faith it is impossible to please Him for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Heb. 11:6). God has spoken to us through His Son (Heb. 1:1-4). He who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. And this is the testimony that God has given us life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life (1 Jo. 5:10-11). Do you believe in God? Do you believe in His Son Jesus Christ? Do you believe what God has spoken by His Son? For instance, He who believes and is baptized will be saved (Mk. 16:16). We must be born again. Jesus said, You must be born again...Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God (Jo. 3:7, 5). We must give heed to the things spoken by Jesus and taught by His apostles (Heb. 2:1-4). This would be the entirety of the New Testament. We must worship in spirit and truth. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth (Jo. 4:24). Gods Word is truth (Jo. 17:17). We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ. The Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son (Jo. 5:22). Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men (2 Cor. 5:9-11a). Must I, must you do the things mentioned above? Definitely! We are unable to please God should we not do them. He said it, that settles it!

The Floods Gates Opened

(Ecclesiastes 1:7) All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. I must write a correction for my letter of the River Runs Free. The word again was left out. Remember what (Rev. 22:18-19) warns us all about, do not add to or take from the word of God. Thats what happened in that letter. Ive checked my reproof letters, there are many of them and its not in any of them. Yes, I do research these letters when they come out. Be sure to remember what Jesus said to that tempter in (Matt. 4:4, reading to Deut. 8:3 of Ps. 91). But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. To us who read and study understand how even one word can cause harm and one word could change the whole meaning within a sentence spoken of God to us, again play a vital part of (Rev. 10:11). Compare this to what the Apostle Paul teaches us in (Heb. 12:26 to the Prophet Haggai 2:6 also of Exodus 19:18 of Psalm 81). That single word is a needed thing to link and tie these holy chapters together for us today- yet. That is to be, or come about a thing future expected, yet. And other words are now being misused or removed to trick or fool us by. Read first the whole message and let all those words in dwell in your mind. Share with others what you are sure of and quote or write word-for-word the word of God as He said them for they are His words to us, not theirs or mine as to what we think they mean or dream up they mean. If you want to learn more about those rivers read what Jesus said of them in (John 4 of Isa. 12 and John 7 to Lamentation 1:1, of Genesis 49:22 and John 15 of Pslam 89). See, I do research with you and I learn at the same time you do. I cant say I know, I know before you do, Id be a liar if I did. I only know what Im suppose to know and set them up for us all together. Thats why I came to you for your help. My brethren would not correct me or help when I made the search for them. May God bless our Songbird and do pray for many more to help. (Matt. 9:37-38 of Psalm 81:1-4) Your sister in faith and hope in Jesus and in truth of His word to the praise of God, for glory of us all in Jesus. Pat Singleton
