“Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and Your dominion
endures throughout
all generations.
The Lord is faithful
in all His words
and kind
in all His works.”
Has not the LORD made them one? In flesh and spirit they are His. And why one? Because He was seeking godly offspring. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
He that rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of the Lord
The groom, a young widower and farmer, had recently landed in
John Rolfe, along with the governor, discipled Pocahontas, read to her from the Bible, and taught her to read and memorize scripture. She professed faith in Christ and was baptized, renouncing her former paganism – a demonic worship that included child sacrifice.
Their wedding, blessed by her father, brought peace between the settlers and Indians, called “the Peace of Pocahontas.”
Both bride and groom were used by God to establish a colony based on Christianity. Virginia Governor, John Smith, said that, “God made Pocahontas” and credited her with saving the settlement. “[S]he next, under God, was still the instrument to preserve this colony from death, famine and utter confusion.”

Dear Seppi Family,
We receive so much good information and encouragement from your blog that our family actually reads it on a daily basis.
All of us ladies at Lordship Church in Ridgecrest were touched by David's birthday tribute to you. I especially loved how he said you "did not cut him off at the knees." It makes me think of Proverb 14:1 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.
While Lance and Victor were here in Ridgecrest on your birthday, they told us of what a gracious and wonderful mother you are.
We all enjoyed having Lance and Victor. Lance's Sunday School lesson was powerful. The boys are an encouragement to my son, Timothy, as well as the other young people here. The older men enjoyed "sharpening swords" with Lance.
My Charissa and Katie, and the other girls at Lordship Church in Ridgecrest first met Regina and Dinah at WCWC and again at the Old Paths Conference. Our daughters were so blessed by their sweet spirits in the Lord, their nurturing nature, and their sound doctrine. Our girls treasure your daughters and are encouraged by their virtuous and humble spirit.
God Bless Your Family,
Donna Singleton
Wow, Thank You, Donna, for your kind words!
And thank you for your wonderful "Southern" hospitality. You pleased four young men AND their families. It was a very special time!
This is an exciting time of raising children, when they are a great blessing.
