- 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)

To Serve is to Gain
Okay, giving myself a bit of freedom this morning to springboard from the primary context to make a wider application. Taking a specific observation and suggesting a broader principle. That serving others, while benefiting others, benefits the server as well. … Continue reading

His Perfect Patience

In Accordance with the Glorious Gospel
Reminded this morning that, while there are many facets to church life, there is only one standard. That, while shepherding a flock entails many areas of instruction and counsel, there is only one plumb line against which all teaching should … Continue reading

Get A Firm Grip
Last week my team got creamed. My company hosted a picnic for the employees . . . food, fun, relay races, and a tug-of-war competition. What was I thinking? Talk about allowing peer pressure to put you in situations you … Continue reading
