Today I pray for God’s best blessings to all who need it. May God bless you and keep you and may His face shine upon you. May you be found in the family of God, washed in the blood of the Lamb, and seated in honor at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. May his…

Lent 2021 Day 21 – The Unexpected Life
by 0 Comments
• •Did any of us expect to be where we are, doing what we are doing at this time in our life? I would venture very few of us could say that. I know I can’t. I also cannot say God didn’t warn me that I am not in control of things. In James 4:13-15, it…

Lent 2021 Day 20 – God Knows What He’s About
by 0 Comments
• •I was reading a posting today about a famous flamboyant homosexual who has abandoned the “gay” life and embraced his Christianity. In the comments someone posted a link to an anonymous poem about how God goes after the ones he wants for his own. I had seen the poem several years ago but forgot it…

Lent 2021 Day 19 – It Always Comes Down to Choices
by 0 Comments
• •I read a rather disturbing post today. It was by Sarah Hoyt and it was titled “I DON’T WANT TO WRITE THIS POST.” It was about her admitting that the social fabric of our country is breaking down and, as she put it, “America’s civil war will be fought many places, but mostly in living…

by 0 Comments
• •So much that was historically right and true is now unpopular and if not overtly cancelled will be shortly the way things are going. Biblical Christianity that “contends for the faith, once for all delivered unto the saints” (Jude 3b) is under attack from every quarter. This summer our pastor said, “Biblical Christianity is unpopular…

Lent 2021 Day 17 – His Mercies are New Every Morning
by 0 Comments
• •There is a humerous, sort of, prayer that goes “Dear Lord, so far today, I am doing all right. I have not gossiped, lost my temper, been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or overindulgent. However, I am going to get out of bed in a few minutes, and I will need a lot more help after…

• •Today was a frustrating day. We were supposed to work on our RV since the shop was supposed to have finished putting in the dash LED replacement bulbs I had gotten last night, and then it was this morning, and then it never got done. Now is supposed to be done tomorrow morning. Oh well,…

Lent 2021 Day 15 – Dealing with the Challenges
by 0 Comments
• •Sometimes life overwhelms us. There are too many things to do, too many demands, and we are behind on so much that we feel like we are being buried by it all. Those are difficult times, often with no apparent way out. But that is not true. We can take a lead from how God…

• •Sometimes it looks like the world is spinning out of control, but I guess that is a feeling born of living through a period in the United States where life has been relatively stable for a long time. I have always had work, food, shelter, and have been married to the same woman for 43…
