Romans Road

Each of us has a route that our lives are taking us.
This Romans Road explains everything one needs to get on the right road with our Creator. It follows statements Paul made to people in Rome so they might know the way of salvation. 
Will your route take the Romans Road?

The Romans Road to Salvation

  1. Romans 3:10 “As it is written, there is none righteous, not even one…”
  2. Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
  3. Romans 5:12 “Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.”
  4. Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
  5. Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
  6. Romans 10:9-10 “If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth confesses, resulting in salvation.”
  7. Romans 10:13 “For whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.” 
The only way to get on that road is through Jesus. Jesus wants to help you escape from the path that will lead to separation from him, a road that leads to pain and suffering and no hope.

Here are some simple directions on how to trust Jesus to lead you onto the road of Salvation:
  • Admit you have not done right: that you are a sinner
  • Believe in your heart that Jesus died and rose from the dead 
  • Confess with your mouth that God raised Jesus from the dead, and that you accept Jesus Christ as Lord of your life
If you did the above you are now a Christian. Remember Romans 10:13  "For whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved."

Some practical things you can do:
  • Pray- talk to God
  • Read- read the Bible which will give you further understanding of the route you have decided to take with Jesus
  • Meet- with other Christians. You are not alone on the road.
  • Tell- others about what you have done. Keep others from missing the pathway to salvation

So there was this zombie party

Image
It was a quiet weekend up here. Well, maybe. Depends on how you appreciated the sound of moaning zombies all over. They can be rather noisome. Fortunately there are guys like McGjervold who can take out a dozen or so of the troublesome undead minions. Went to a party and sure enough, there they were- zombies. Real crazy looking zombies.  And there was the food too. I sampled the fare before I called in McGjervold to clear out the joint with his array of weapons and zombie whooping devices. McGjervold doesn't back down to zombies or their ilk. Afterword we played pool.

Back to 50s photos: Pontiac Chieftain

Image
I n its earlier days, Pontiac featured a Native American on its logo. It may have just been a representation of the famous chief himself, Pontiac although no authentic images of him are known to exist. In the center background you may be able to see a Pontiac Chieftain under a large tree. Pontiac ceased production of the car sometime in the late 1950s. In 1956 they also changed their trademark from the Indian head dress to something more akin to an arrowhead.

Gumby, Google, Clokey and Hastings. Oh My!

Image
This title sounds like a band from the 70s. However, Google has a great interactive doodle today in honor of Art Clokey , creator of green guy Gumby. Clokey would have been 90 today, but he passed away last year. But did you know that the Gumby came from my hometown of Hastings, MN! Indeed I thought this odd too when I saw this fact on a map of Hastings that has hung in the family home for years. Clokey was Californian and seemed to have no connections wtih the North Star State, so I thought this incredulous. I did a little digging and then found my answer in an article in the Star Tribune from October 20th, 2003.  Dick Parker and Heron Marquez Estrada did a the hard work and re-discovered that Echo Plastics of Hastings manufactured millions of Gumby and Pokey toys up to about 1971. So I guess Minnesota can claim the green guy and his red pony after all. Perhaps the state quarter would have been more collectible if it had Gumby an...
