19 There were no blacksmiths in the land of Israel in those days. The Philistines wouldn’t allow them for fear they would make swords and spears for the Hebrews. 20 So whenever the Israelites needed to sharpen their plowshares, picks, axes, or sickles,[a] they had to take them to a Philistine blacksmith. 21 The charges were as follows: a quarter of an ounce[b] of silver for sharpening a plowshare or a pick, and an eighth of an ounce[c] for sharpening an ax or making the point of an ox goad. 22 So on the day of the battle none of the people of Israel had a sword or spear, except for Saul and Jonathan.

I am planning on trying to write a poem but I have not got it together in my brain yet. Sara

Parlous decisions Have been made Regarding our plants Wrong hands played China now top nation In terms of output By manufacturing jobs Leads USA hard put Where do our parts Come from for repairs Where does our military Gear appear~ despair Where do our vehicles Arise? Drop from Starry skies? No, China roll the drum People wake up Israel won the battle Because Jonathan Believed God, he won the chattel How many true believers Are there now Is there a remnant? Maybe a bough The remnant needs to Pray more and more Each and every day We need our Jesus to adore If you are a believer Would you join me In prayer every day At your convenience, plea Ask God for some time For America to revive Once again to come alive Our country once again to thrive Spiritually awaken Work for a spiritual Purpose not just self Not endeavors empirical Like Jonathan Let's call on God Let's let Him lead us A remnant can win .... This isn't exactly the way I was planning on going. Believers lift up your hearts in prayer each day for our country. Pray for our leaders for their salvation and their trust in God to lead us as a nation. A nation that prays together stays together.

Jack, life offers us much to think about but most of us are too busy to think about anything. Thanks for all the visits. Sara

Rama, Yes, God hears us but if many are praying about one thing then I think it has more impact. Your kind review is uplifting. Sara

Great and important message Sarah. One that needed to be said and I hope people will listen. Too bad Mr. Trump didn't get elected to help put the country back on it's feet like he was tryng to do. But too many people didn't want America to become the great nation it used to be and too many ill advised people listened to them. Good one Sarah. God Bless and I will pray for America. JB

Judy, Thank you. I appreciate you saying you will be praying for our nation. We all think about our situation when we see the news and now we can pray when we hear things that are troubling. Sara

Andrea, Well, we probably won't do anything special for we went out of town on Wednesday then we had the daughters here on Friday and we celebrated some birthdays and Valentine's Day so that was probably it. Thanks for the visit. I hope you return in a few days when maybe I have gotten my thoughts together. I am glad you liked the ecard. Sara

I'm sure you will be able to write something good. Check the first book of Samuel for some material.

Robert, Yes, the Old Testament is loaded with stories to be told once again. I am trying to fit something together and I haven't got it yet. Your presence at my page is encouraging. Sara

Weren't those 'African-smiths,' not 'blacksmiths,' Sarah?! Gotta keep up with the times, you know... Good luck with this one! :) gw

Gershon, Well at the end of the day with all that smoke and soot I expect they were black from the soil upon their bodies not their natural color but I have no idea what color of skin the Philistines were but I would think some kind of brownish or olive or both. Sara
