Standing on my front porch and looking west, I have a great view of the sunset each evening. I step out there occasionally and snap a photo or two. This particular photo was the under exposed one of three that I took a couple of nights ago. It is two stops under normal exposure.
So, I liked the darker photo with the hint of the sunset at the bottom and thought about this verse from Psalms. Regardless of the things that happen throughout our day, God has given us that day and all that comes with it. Because of this, we should always rejoice and be glad for another day.
"This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24

In loving memory of Jeremiah Wheatley, army scripture reader, who died Novr 15th 1918, aged 81 years. "A sinner redeemed by the grace of God." "He fought a good fight."
Jeremiah Wheatley was born in County Westmeath, Ireland in 1837. At the age of 24 he was married, and a sergeant in the no 9 field battery, 4 Royal Artillery, based at Christchurch in Hampshire. By 1871 they were based in South Shoebury, and he was living with his wife Mary and 4 children.
By 1881 they had five children, but Jeremiah was no longer a soldier. The family were living in TIlehurst on the outskirts of Reading. He was recorded as an Army Scripture Reader. He first appeared in Ipswich in 1891, when he and his family were living at 46 Christchurch Street, an address which still exists. By 1901 they had moved around the corner to 145 Woodbridge Road.
The Life-Light was the real thing:
Every person entering Life, he brings into Light.
He was in the world, the world was there through Him,
and yet the world didn't even notice Him.
He came to His own people, but they didn't want Him.
But whoever did want Him, who believed He was who He claimed and would do what He said,
He made to be their true selves,
their child-of-God selves!
