"There is no season
when such pleasant and sunny spots
may be lighted on,
and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings,
as now in October."

The Gospel
October 1st
Question 1 - Can we know how to have eternal life?
1 John 5:13
"I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life."
Tomorrow's question - So what has been written?
The Gospel
During the month of October I'd like to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with you. Not my words, not my opinions, and not my thoughts. The scripture is all that is needed.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
"All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
Each day during the month of October a new question will be presented with the scriptural answer. I hope you will follow along!
1 Peter 3:15
"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have."
*The question sequence is not my original material. It was presented in a Bible class that I attended.*
Sewing!
It's been a long standing joke in my family.
That Mom was going to sew "some day"...
That some day is here! I'm really sewing and I'm excited!
