The picture is of our pastor and his grandson at pinesprings baptist camp July 2008.From the Pastor:
(Psa 73:25) Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
The psalmist asks the Lord a question. The Lord certainly knows the answer to all of our questions. This question is a matter of the heart. There is but one person that this and every child of God desires and for which he longs. In all of heaven there are literally millions of people and tens of thousands of angels. Among these are many who are notable and outstanding. It would be amazing to speak with the apostle Paul, or Peter, Moses, Elijah, Enoch. It would be awesome to speak with Gabriel or Michael the arc angel. It would be a joy indeed to speak with grandfathers who you never knew here on earth. It will certainly be wonderful to speak with those loved ones which we watched as they pasted from this life to the next. Far above these is our desire for the Lord. In all of heaven there is none to be praised like the Lord. Indeed all the inhabitants there direct our accolades toward the only one worthy of our worship and praise, the Lord Jesus Christ.
The psalmist also relates that there is none on earth as desirable as the Lord. Living on the earth today are some six billion people. Some of these are notable and might well be worth meeting. Some human beings on earth have done benevolent and courageous things. There are some who might well deserve the praise of men. For the Child of God there is none that compares to our Lord. He stands supreme above all of those persons, places, and things about which we care. He is the one who has saved our souls, who has loved us with the greatest love that man has ever known.
