NEHEMIAH
Nehemiah was the trusted cupbearer to the King of Persia almost 100 years after the first return of the Jews to Jerusalem. When Nehemiah was informed that there had been virtually no progress toward rebuilding the walls of the city, he prayed long and hard. This resulted in the King allowing him to go to Jerusalem for the purpose of rebuilding. The King provided some support for the effort.

The leaders of the non-Jews who lived in the area surrounding Jerusalem tried without success to block the rebuilding. Nehemiah, acting with the help of GOD, was able to effect the rebuilding of the wall in only 52 days.

In the years that followed, there was repentance of sins, general adherence to the laws and rules, and a renewed faith in GOD. Nehemiah dealt with those who strayed.

LINDEN'S LIFE
Visited three stores trying to get some idea as to what to fix for dinner: failed miserably. Was happy to receive and read the Haus Edelweiss update sent by Kevin and Dimi Kirk. Little else of any importance.

SOME OTHER INVOLVEMENTS

WRITING AND PUBLISHING. Contact me at lswift8@aol.com to request information relative to ordering any of my eight books and one CD.

REACHING OUT. I normally contribute modestly in a number of areas. Now I also contribute a portion of book sales income to new or enhanced areas of support. I also accept contributions for this effort. I was so pleased with the 2009 results that I’m expanding the effort in 2010. New or expanded recipients in 2010 include:

January, TCM, Austria, ministry scholarship. http://www.tcmi.org/
February, Hillsdale College. www.hillsdale.edu
March, African ministry. http://www.kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com/
April, TCM, second scholarship payment

The Book Nook, 33 E. Main, Mooresville is a local source of Linden’s books and CD.

Feel free to make others aware of this blog and our efforts to support worthwhile causes.
