God placed many parallels to the spiritual realm in the physical universe so the human brain could get some idea of the world that exists beyond the capacity of the human brain. One such parallel is the development of a baby in a mothers womb. Just as God took particles of the earth and made a body for the spirit he created, a woman takes the particles of her body and makes a body for a spirit that will live in that body. That body is developed inher womb and, at birth, that body becomes a womb for a human spirit. The author calls this newborn body The Womb of Time because it is the place where a human spirit is developed in time in preparation for an existence in a new world called Eternity. An embryo in a mothers womb is surrounded by chemicals that can prevent it from developing to a point capable of living in the world outside its womb. In the same way, a human spirit, in the womb of its body, is surrounded by knowledge, the curse from Eden that can prevent it from developing to a point capable of being a spirit with lifewhen it enters eternity. If a physical body is stillborn, no matter how much it is loved it cannot exist with people who are alive. A human spirit that is not alive when its body dies cannot exist with the living who reside in Heaven. God is constantly trying to nourish people in their Womb of Time with the same Word of Life he used to create all things. The human brain, limited to the knowledge it contains, often substitutes confidence for faith and religion for God causing many human spirits to be stillborn when they leave their body. Man's battle is between knowledge and faith.A quick look at the world will reveal the incompetence of knowledge.

Relive through reminiscing and remembering, a Maine pastor's recollections of boyhood experiences that turned into a minister's messages in old age. After five decades (Barry's first message was preached in 1966), travel back in time with a lifelong Maineaic to his home place, the Blackstone homestead of Perham, Maine. What sparked these homilies was his inheritance of seven acres of the family farm, homesteaded in 1861, and the receiving of his grandparent's house built in 1924 at the death of his Uncle Paul. You will probably come to the same conclusion as this coastal Maine pastor--that his seminary training began long before he attended a Bible school in South Carolina in the early 1970s. Flash back with him to the 1950s and 1960s when spiritual lessons were everywhere on his rural potato and dairy farm. Pastor Blackstone didn't know it then, but realizes now that he was surrounded by family Bible teachers and friendly Biblical instructors that eventually would inspire this series of sermons. Homestead Homilies is a collection of scriptural observations inspired by a dog named Rover, an uncle named Read, a moonlit night, a barnyard hedge, a day plowing, a grandmother's helpful hand, a bee hive, a simple prayer, a sparrow's song, and many more simple events in a past age where homilies were being preached and now eventually heard. It is the author's prayer that these simple sermons will provoke the reader to remember long lost messages from their distant past.
