Chicago

[Lou Newton]

Hi Guys,

The Lord really gave me a smooth trip to Chicago. I am really having a good time with my son and his wife.

I have been able to have a couple of good conversations about The Lord with several people.

My son and his wife have been researching our ancestry. I was amazed at the people that were my ancestors.

One of my ancestors was Simon Bradstreet who was Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony. His wife was a famous American poet.

There were countless Barons, Counts, Princes, Knights and Kings. Charlemagne was my 34th great grandfather.

Guess they would not be telling anyone that they are related to me.

Oh, wait...I believe I am! You are my brother!!

Very glad to hear you had a pleasant, uneventful journey, and a wonderful holiday with your son and daughter-in-law.
Don't forget - leftovers for the rest of the visit! LOL!!
I pray your return trip is safe and speedy, too.

Hi, Lou,

I am glad you're having a good time. Heed my warning, brother: don't try to take a nap under the same apple tree with Isaac Newton.

May the joy of the remainder of your stay be interruption free. =)

I have the honor of having the funniest woman in the world as my sister Julie.

Hi Barry,

Speaking of Isaac Newton, I am sharing meals with him and staying at his place. We are having long conversations about The Bible, science, and the Bethlehem Star.

We all watched the Bethlehem Star DVD last night again. We were amazed all over again.

They had traced my family back to the 500's. We had looked at every generation back to then. I was amazed at their accomplishment. I seen that the name Isaac Newton was a family name going way back.

Glad you are having a good time with your family Lou. I am afraid to find out my ancestry as it may be I am related to one of the Pharisees or something worse. ..... Steve

Steve, being related to one of the Pharisees is much better than being a Pharisee. One can't help who he is related to. But one can trust in Jesus.

Good to know you're having a refreshing and blessed Thanksgiving with family, Lou. It's neat that you named your son after someone who was such an accomplished inventor and theologian.

Thanks Blane,

BTW, I did not name Isaac.

When I was 39 years old I was working out with weights in my basement. I was bench pressing 175# and it seemed heavy. I used to bench over 300# and this was discouraging. I remembered when I turned 30 it was kind of depressing to not be in my 20's anymore.

So I thought to myself, I bet I will get really depressed when I turn 40. Right at that moment I sensed the presence of The Lord Jesus right behind me, like someone would spot someone benching. (that meant he was standing in mt basement wall) The Lord spoke to me ( not in an audible voice) that I was not going to be depressed on my 40th, but it would be the best birthday I ever had. He said further, you are going to have a another son, so he will be child of promise and a child late in life, so name him Isaac.

I was not dating anyone at the time. But a little later I started courting Isaac's mom. She had a 40th birthday party for me, and we got married some time later. When I was 44 she told me she was pregnant. I knew that was Isaac.

The midwives wanted to give my wife a ultrasound, and we refused. They tried to tempt us to change our minds by telling us that we would get to find out if the baby was a boy or girl. I told them I already knew he was a boy and his name was Isaac.

During the delivery when his eyes had just appeared, I said, "hi Isaac, I am your daddy and we love you". The midwives came to me afterwards one by one and said, You really knew he was a boy didn't you". I told them I knew five years before he was born. They were not believers and were mystified.

Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about me is how ordinary I am and my life as well. The one outstanding event is the night I became a believer.
But your life Lou; has been extraordinary in countless ways. I am blessed to know about many of them. If it was someone other than you telling the events that you have, I would have trouble believing them. Thank you for sharing some of your life. ..... Steve

Hi Julie,
Everyone is doing well and thanks to the LORD. Hammy is doing well he turns 23 on Christmas day. I will post a photo of him at his party. He is so healthy and happy and he thrives in the family as he is right in the center of the family room. So he is never left alone for too long.
How are you doing and your family and feathered friends? ..... Steve
