Back in 2005, I wrote a post about the abandonment of Terri Shiavo, prompted by a column by Mark Steyn. I was fixing a couple of broken links on the post and I thought it deserved fresh light. So, here you have it. Click here to go to the post.

Food: Our Continuing Sustenance
by William Meisheid
We need food. There is a maxim in certain nutritional circles that you are what you eat, or at least the health of your body is determined by what you eat. One of the big problems with disasters, especially ones that extend into several months is having or getting decent food, especially if you are…

Water: 60% of Your Physical Makeup
by William Meisheid
It is not an exaggeration to say water is the stuff of life. Outside of air, it is the one thing we need to continually consume. We can deal with irregularly consuming food, but not water. We deteriorate rapidly without a regular intake of good, clean water. Check out this article that details the serious…

What Does Getting Prepared Involve?
by William Meisheid
The answer to that question depends on your location. Are you in a city, the suburbs of a city, a small town, a rural location, or what some might consider the boonies? Each location would have different requirements. What are the Primary Concerns? No matter where you are there are three immediate and primary concerns,…

A Call to Discernment of the Possibility of God’s Imminent Judgement
by William Meisheid
Back on September 11, two friends of my sister (in Deland Florida) were praying before lunch and asking God what they should pray about, since it was the anniversary of the attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, when they were overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit. They received a message of God’s coming judgement…

The God with No Name
by William Meisheid
One of the objections that the early Hebrews faced (e.g., from the Egyptians) was that their God had no name. The ancient mind could not conceive of a nameless god. Names were significant; they helped define one’s god and expressed their character and areas of power. It is interesting to note God’s response to Moses…

Bridge Over Troubled Waters…
by William Meisheid
We are in terrible shape as a nation and somehow need to find a bridge across the troubled waters facing our country and its political impasse over debt and our inalienable rights. The solution is grace. It is also God’s solution to the bridge over death to life. Indeed, without grace no real chasm can be crossed, whatever the cause of the divide.

The Latter Rain…Knowing God
by William Meisheid
It’s been a while, a long while, since I have written anything and my blog has become brown and parched. I am not sure if this latter rain will continue or if this is just a brief shower. Time will tell, as it always does. I am working on my Knowing God Teacher’s/Self-Study Edition Study Guide for…

Knowing and Being Known
by William Meisheid
…since God has always demanded that His people love Him with their whole heart, mind, and soul, failure to “know” Him is in essence a failure to love Him, since how can one truly love what one does not know.

As a Tree Falls…
by William Meisheid
One of the great fallacies of the non-believer is that they can put off their decision about God/Jesus/Salvation until the end. Even if the person is fortunate enough to have the time (no sudden death) to address the issue, it is VERY unlikely anything will change, since reversing direction goes against the weight of their entire life.
While it is true that there have been remarkable deathbed…
