Good morning! I hope that you are all doing well today. I seem to have slept in, still recovering from the "swine flu" as it is, but doing much better than I was earlier this week. What I want to share with you all this morning is something a little bit different, as it isn't a study in its own right but, it can be if you choose to read diligently and make it one. I know that those of you who come here regularly for Sabbath studies and fellowship are up to the task. 
A few years ago, the first year that the memorial was not held at Mt. Carmel actually, Ron Goins gave me something that he had found while helping Clive pack up and move into town. We were standing there at Mt. Carmel, having gone to see what kind of production Charles Pace would put on that year, and as it turned out he piled brush up on the old tornado shelter roof and set fire to it. But I digress.
While standing there, watching Charles' fire burn, Ron gave me one of the business cards that David had printed for his music production company, Cyrus Productions. He often used them to start conversations, and an outline of sorts of his message, in passages that he considered key, were listed on the back of the card.
That was such a powerful moment for me. Watching that fire burn, while Charles Pace had videos of news footage from 1993 playing on a big screen set up in the Chapel, I think it really sunk in for the first time - this isn't a story about a tragedy that happened a long time ago. This is a reality that began some millions of years ago when the LORD created the earth and everything that is in it. This is a reality about lives that have been connected through the centuries, each playing their own role in one message, that is for all of us from our Creator GOD.
And it is with that in mind, that I think we should look at these verses that David thought were so important, he printed them on business cards to use in beginning conversations on the subject.
