Once we recognize this it becomes easier to discipline the flesh."<br /><br />Must remember that. This post blesses me much.

It is mentioned that Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Roberts presented a picture of Christ to the church on the occasion of its 79th anniversary in 1944. When I saw the name, I remembered--CHARLES and Ruby Roberts! My mom joined the church in about 1955. http://www.monticello-umc.org/history.htmLinda Bornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878172863563837367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575488140878213805.post-7502344966180650732010-12-17T20:00:46.192-08:002010-12-17T20:00:46.192-08:00Ruby was a marvelous Christian lady who influenced...Ruby was a marvelous Christian lady who influenced my mother early in Mom's walk with the Lord. Mom always spoke of Ruby with great respect, and as a young bride benefited from Ruby's words of wisdom and guidance. As a small child I shared Mom's respect for Ruby. How important it is that we mentor and intercede for our young Christian friends. <br /><br />Just a note of interest, Ruby was the sister-in-law of Roy A. Roberts, who was the influential president of the Kansas City Star during the Truman and Eisenhower administrations. I'm sorry to say I can't recall Ruby's husband's name. I was able to find Roy online, along with his photo when he was on the cover of Time magazine. <br /><br />Ruby is now a member of that "cloud of witnesses" spoken of in Hebrews, "Since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us run with perseverance the race set out for us..."Linda Bornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878172863563837367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575488140878213805.post-60837240982819697192010-12-17T17:54:16.520-08:002010-12-17T17:54:16.520-08:00Thank you for your words of encouragement.

I, too, pray that we all will feel Jesus' presence and realize that we are never alone. <br />I would have loved to have met Ruby!--JillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
