Cherie Carter My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, and my refuge is in God. Trust in Him at all times people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah - Psalm 62:5-8 11:10 AM

Dylan Carter DR. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN 2/01/2010 By Dylan Carter Benjamin Franklin was born in 1706 in Boston, Massachusetts. His father came over from England and his mother was born here in America. They both were Puritans, Bible-believing Christians. He was home-schooled by his mother starting at three years of age. She taught Benjamin to read using the Bible. He was encouraged to grow in his faith in Christ and to have a servant’s heart. God blessed Ben with many creative talents and he put them to good use. At the young age of twelve, he began inventing helpful things such as flippers to swim faster. Ben worked with his father at his candle shop until his older brother James started a newspaper and Ben went there to help his brother with the printing. Ben was only fifteen when he began writing articles for the newspaper, under the pen name,” Silence do-good” to disguise him self. Benjamin wrote famous writings like “Poor Richards Almanac” and the “Pennsylvania Gazette”. He wrote a list of thirteen moral virtues and daily kept a journal of his success and failure in keeping them. He also wrote many maxims and expressions that are still said today such as, “No pain, and no gain” and “Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” Benjamin was one of the United States of America’s founding fathers. He was one of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. He was active on many committees including the one that drafted the Declaration of Independence. He was involved in debates over the Articles of Confederation. He served as the Pennsylvania delegate to the Constitutional Convention of Philadelphia. Many of Benjamin’s letters are published in his autobiography. He played an instrumental role as America’s ambassador to the French, the British and the Native Indians. He traveled to France and succeeded in gaining their alliance with America to help fight the British to gain our independence. He worked to end slavery in America and was named president of Pennsylvania Abolition Society in 1787. Benjamin was always looking for ways to serve people and America. He founded the first U.S. post office and was a mail governor. He made maps for the mail carriers so they would avoid the Gulf Stream, which slowed the mail down up to two weeks at a time. He founded the University of Pennsylvania for boys. Benjamin founded the first volunteer fire department, and the first public lending library. Through his creativity and ingenuity people have enjoyed the benefits of his remarkable ideas and inventions. He discovered lightning was electricity and he conducted lots of scientific experiments, which led to helpful inventions, such as the lightning rod, which saved thousands of homes and is still used today. Some other notable inventions are the bifocals glasses for reading, Franklin stove for heating homes, odometer for recording distance traveled and the “Armonica” a musical instrument. His portrait is well known for being seen on the American $100 bill. Benjamin Franklin died at 84 in 1790, more than 2,000 people attended his funeral. This made most colonists and the French sad. Famous quotes from Dr. Benjamin Franklin on faith and liberty in America. “ God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel” –Constitutional Convention of 1787 | original manuscript of this speech “In the beginning of the contest with Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayers in this room for Divine protection. Our prayers, Sir, were heard, and they were graciously answered… do we imagine we no longer need His assistance?” [Constitutional Convention, Thursday June 28, 1787] In Benjamin Franklin's 1749 plan of education for public schools in Pennsylvania, he insisted that schools teach "the excellency of the Christian religion above all others, ancient or modern." In 1787 when Franklin helped found Benjamin Franklin University, it was dedicated as "a nursery of religion and learning, built on Christ, the Cornerstone." “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.” “When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic. “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither safety nor liberty.” “God grant that not only the love of liberty but a thorough knowledge of the rights of man may pervade all the nations of the earth, so that a philosopher may set his foot anywhere on its surface and say: This is my country.” Bibliography Life and letters by Benjamin Debate of the Constitution\ part one- Library of America Benjamin Franklin: Portrait of Ben Franklin Benjamin Franklin by Tom Streissguth Ben Franklin’s almanac By Candace Flemming Ben Franklin By Brenda Haughn MEET Benjamin Franklin By Kathryn Satterfield Drive Thru History By Nita Thompson Wikipedia.org Highlights Magazine Cherie Carter My Mom and teacher Mar 02

Dylan Carter did you Know The Flood of Noah from the February 23, 2010 eNews issue http://www.khouse.org (visit our website for a FREE subscription) There are many Christians who do not take the record of the Flood in Genesis seriously. They consign the account to a moral lesson without regarding the narrative as actual fact. Furthermore, most people do not fully understand the reason for the Flood because they haven't done their homework on the "days of Noah" that Jesus highlighted prophetically (Matt 24:37). Careful study will reveal that Satan had succeeded in creating a "gene pool" problem in his stratagems to thwart the plan of God. But this discussion exceeds the space available in this brief review. Did It Really Happen? There is no question that tangible evidence indicates there was once a flood over the entire earth. Many competent books have chronicled the numerous fossils of sea animals found at extremely high altitudes all over the world, as well as fossils of land animals in arid areas below sea level. The evidences of a global, hydraulic catastrophe are ample in the many sources readily available. Henry M. Morris and John C. Whitcomb's book, The Genesis Record, has become a classic. There are many serious scientists that suspect that a water vapor canopy enveloped the pre-Flood earth, as this is hinted at in Scripture. There also are technical - and Scriptural - indications that favor a hydroplate theory that certainly justifies diligent inquiry by the serious student. There are even informed conjectures that the Planet Mars may also have had a role, but these topics also exceed the space available here. Was The Ark Big Enough? Many people are skeptical about a literal ark having saved all the animals, etc. They are doubtful that it could have been big enough. (They don't really know how big it was, or how many animals were involved, but still they remain skeptical.) The ark was 300 cubits long, 50 cubits abeam, and 30 cubits high. The cubit was a measure intended to represent the distance between the elbow and the tip of the fingers, and is approximated by most scholars at about 18 inches. (Various cubits have been discovered ranging from 17 to 25 inches.) Assuming an 18-inch cubit, the ark would contain 1.5 million cubic feet, and would displace approximately 24,000 tons. This space approximates over 500 railroad cars and could contain 125,000 sheep or their equivalent. Since it has been estimated that there were about 18,000 species, and most of those would be smaller than a sheep, the space doesn't seem to be a real problem. (Some scholars suggest that a 25-inch cubit might have been involved, which would almost triple that capacity.) Where Did It Rest? There is a "Mount Ararat" in eastern Turkey, right near the Armenian border and this is regarded by many as the Biblical site. There are numerous stories of sightings, but these expeditions have proven problematical at best. However, there are some textual problems to be considered. When Noah's descendants ultimately came to establish Babel (later Babylon) they came "from the east": "And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there." -Genesis 11:1,2 From the Biblical text, it would seem that one should look for the ark east of Babylon - somewhere in Iran, not in Turkey which is slightly west of north of Babylon. It has yet to be actually found. I personally suspect that God still has a purpose for the ark. Perhaps that's why Noah was instructed to "pitch it within and without." You don't need to cover the craft with pitch on both sides of the hull except to preserve it. I suspect that it will be found in God's timing to provide a testimony, once again, to an unbelieving world of a coming judgment. When Did the New Beginning Start? "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat." - Genesis 8:4 Why did the Holy Spirit want us to know that the Flood ended on the 17th day of the 7th month? (If you are a normal, well-adjusted reader, when you come across a verse like this, you simply go on reading. However, if you have listened to my Bible studies, you are no longer a "normal, well-adjusted" reader! You remember that one of my premises is that every detail is here for our learning (Rom. 15:4) and that God always rewards the diligent!) This one takes a little digging. We know that the seven feasts of Moses are not only commemorative, they are also prophetic (Col. 1:17). Passover is, of course, prophetic of our Passover, Jesus Christ; who, as the Lamb of God, was offered on the 14th of Nisan. The morning after the Sabbath after Passover is the Feast of First Fruits (Lev. 23:11,15). and that particular Sunday morning some women were discovering the empty tomb: His resurrection was, indeed, the ultimate "first fruits." Three days in the tomb would indicate that He rose on the 17th of Nisan. When we examine the institution of Passover, God also instructed Moses to make that month, Nisan, the "beginning of months," (Exodus 12:2). Therefore, the Jews observe two calendars: the original (Genesis) one which begins at Rosh Hoshana, the 1st of Tishri, in the fall; and the religious one that begins on the 1st of Nisan, in the spring. So when you examine the "new beginning" of the world under Noah, it was on the very "anniversary-in-advance" of our "new beginning" in Jesus Christ! The New Testament is in the Old Testament concealed; and the Old Testament is in the New Testament revealed. One book. One Message. It's all about Him. This is another of the many inexhaustible evidences of an integrated, deliberate design that highlights that these 66 books we call the Bible, although penned by over 40 guys over almost 2000 years, are a single message - a message that features, on every page, the mission, the achievement, and the astonishing blessings of, by, and through our Lord Jesus Christ!
