- So . . . I'm "feeding myself" in the morning from God's Word and thought I'd post what I'm chewin' on and make my "food" available for others who might want to nibble a bit. Hope it's of some benefit to you . . .
The word of God is living and active . . . (Hebrews 4:12)

Worth the Trip
Was up in B.C. for most of this week, hanging out with my daughter and her family. And grandkid-filled days result in sleep-filled nights. Amazing how a three-year-old and a one-year-old can run a fifty-eight-year-old into the ground. What a … Continue reading
Paul’s Win
He couldn’t take it anymore! Twice Paul says that he “could bear it no longer.” What was it that caused such anxiety for the beloved apostle? What was so taxing that this man who had been beaten with rods, stoned … Continue reading
Worth the Trip
Sue and I are wrapping up a wonderful week at the Scott River Lodge. It’s been a great week of relaxation and refueling. Yesterday, along with the seven other couples we’re hanging with this week, we spent the day at … Continue reading
I Live When You Stand

Sealing the Deal
A friend of mine set me straight yesterday. I slipped into a trap that I know is there and yet I walked into it . . . and he showed me how I got my foot caught . . . … Continue reading

Children of the Day
The specific subject is the second coming of Christ . . . a day that “will come like a thief in the night.” Paul says that it will come when most people are least expecting it . . . they’ll … Continue reading

Plating the Gospel
My son-in-law knows his way around the kitchen. Was reminded of that last week as we spent a couple of days with him and my daughter on their turf. Most often, around our place, Sue cooks it up . . … Continue reading
