How to move a mob of cows..............

this is the reason why we had to move the cows urgently...........
another buggered dam..........those  mud flats are gut deep on the cattle...........
the water in the middle is not much at all..........just a thin layer on the top..........
Put a bale of hay on the back of the ute...............
hungry cows come from all directions.............
they followed me all the way into the paddock..........
they try and eat before i have even cut the bale to put it out..........

Look at all the mud on there  legs..........even the calves........
bits of hay flies around and it looks a bit like snow of there heads........
Then finally the cows in the paddock that you joined them with get the news foods on and they come running from way down in the paddock too............
Some of the kids belted galloways............
Catch you later.......

Bible Verses for This Do, Remember Me

"This Do, Remember Me" by G. W. Frazer | scriptureand.blogspot.com


"This do, remember Me":
O blessed, living Lord,
What depths of grace we now can trace
In that most precious word!
About Jesus in Luke 22:19-20 And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, �This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.� And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, �This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood."
When darker grew Thy path,
When o'er Thee loom'd the cross,
With nought down here Thy heart to cheer,
Thou didst remember us.
Jesus said in John 12:27 �Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, �Father, save Me from this hour�? But for this purpose I came to this hour. Father, glorify Your name.� Then a voice came out of heaven: �I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.� So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, �An angel has spoken to Him.� Jesus answered and said, �This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes. Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.� But He was saying this to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die.

"This do, remember Me":
The sword about to wake,
Prophesy about Jesus in Zechariah 13:7 Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, and against the man, My Associate,� declares the Lord of hosts. �Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered; and I will turn My hand against the little ones.
Thy sweat as blood upon the stood
When Thou the cup didst take.
About Jesus in Luke 22:44 And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.
John 18:11 So Jesus said to Peter, �Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?� 
There on the altar bound
Wast Thou that night of woe,
Hebrews 9:11-12 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
When man's dark hour and Satan's pow'r
Their deepest gloom did throw.
Isaiah 53:7-8 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth; like a lamb that is led to slaughter, and like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, so He did not open His mouth. By oppression and judgment He was taken away; and as for His generation, who considered that He was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?

"This do, remember Me":
Oh, deep desire of love
As round Thy soul those waves did roll -
The wrath of God above.
Psalm 88:7 Your wrath has rested upon me, and You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah.
Romans 3:23-26 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Made sin upon the tree,
What blackness veiled the sky -
Mark 15:33 When the sixth hour [noon] came, darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour.
What torrents, dread, bowed low Thy head
As Thou for us didst die.
John 19:30 Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, �It is finished!� And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

"This do, remember Me":
Oh, what a savor sweet
For God above - for man, what love -
In all Thy work complete!
Jesus said to God the Father in John 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
Ephesians 5:2 and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma
Now gathered round Thyself
With heart and conscience free,
Matthew 18:20 For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.�
1 Corinthians 11:27-32 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly. For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep. But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world. 
O Lord, once dead, our living Head,
We do remember Thee.
Colossians 1:18 He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.
1 Corinthians 11:23-26 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, �This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.� In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, �This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.� For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord�s death until He comes.

How To Study The Bible Bookmark | scriptureand.blogspot.com

Free Printable Bookmark with Bible Study Suggestions

Have you ever felt overwhelmed when you read the Bible?  With so much to look for, you don't know where to start.  If you want a bookmark that can remind you how to find helpful observations from Scripture, here is a free printable.

The concepts are based on the book Living By The Book by Howard G. Hendricks and William D. Hendricks.  That book is great for understanding how to explore God's Word.  It gives pointers on the different types of observations you can make, the methods of properly interpreting the message, and how to apply it to your theology and life.

I've used a much plainer version of this in my Bible and for my Sunday School students in the past. However, I redesigned it so that it would be easier to scan it and quickly remember the ideas you learned.

This bookmark can be used on its own, but it is best used as a review of Living By The Book by Howard G. Hendricks and William D. Hendricks.

Click here to print the bookmark.  They are in a pdf and download three to a page and should be printed double sided on card stock. I also recommend using a guillotine paper cutter if you have one available.

Bible Verses for That Was Then, This Is Now


2 Corinthians 5 :17 New creature | scriptureand.blogspot.com

That Was Then, This Is Now

by Josh Wilson and Ben Glover

We used to hide from the light
We made friends with the night
We were headed the wrong way on a one-way track
Going nowhere fast
Jesus said in John 3:19-20 "This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed."
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. 
Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it." 
We got used to the dark
We thought this is who we are
And we figured that we were just too far gone
But we were wrong
1 Corinthians 1:26-29 For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no man may boast before God.
�Cause love came running like a river
And we got washed in the water
Then He said you're forgiven
Your sins are gone
Colossians 1:13 For He [Jesus] rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Titus 3:5 He [Jesus] saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
Psalm 103:18 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. 
That was then, this is now
You're bought by the blood, saved by the Son the saints all sing about
That was lost, this is found
And it's time to say goodbye to the old you now
Acts 20:28 Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.
John 3:16-17 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him." 
Jesus said in Luke 19:10 "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
So go ahead, put the past in the past
Box it up like an old photograph
You don't have to go back
�Cause that was then and this is now
Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
We've been remade by grace
We've all got new names
And nothing we do could ever change
What He did that day
Ephesians 2:4-6 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
The Lord says in Revelation 2:17 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.'
About Jesus in Hebrews 10:11-14 Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made A footstool for His feet. For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified
When love came running like a river
We got washed in the water
Then He said you're forgiven
And you belong
1 Corinthians 6:11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
Colossians 2:13 When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions
1 John 3:1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
That was then, this is now
You're bought by the blood, saved by the Son the saints all sing about
That was lost, this is found
And it's time to say goodbye to the old you now
1 Peter 1:18-19 knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ
Romans 5:8-9 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.
Jesus said in the parable of the prodigal son, Luke 15:22-24 But the father said to his slaves, �Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet; and bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.� And they began to celebrate.
James 1:21 Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. 
So go ahead, put the past in the past
Box it up like an old photograph
You don't have to go back
�Cause that was then
The Lord says in Isaiah 43:18-19 "Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert."
If we turn and confess every unrighteousness
He is faithful and just to forgive
Oh, so turn and confess every wrong and regret
And see what it means to live
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He [Jesus] is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Psalm 32:5 I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I did not hide; I said, �I will confess my transgressions to the Lord�; and You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah.
That was then, this is now
You're bought by the blood, saved by the Son the saints all sing about
That was lost, this is found
And it's time to say goodbye to the old you now
Revelation 5:9-10  And they sang a new song, saying, �Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.�
Romans 3:23-26 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Ephesians 4:23-24 that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth. 
So go ahead, put the past in the past
Box it up like an old photograph
You don't have to go back
�Cause that was then and this is now
Luke 9:62 But Jesus said to him, �No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.�
