- 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)

Our Identity
Identity. It gets a lot of play these days. Who am I? What am I? Am I what I think I am? Or am I something other than I think I am? Such confusion. This morning, I’m grateful for some … Continue reading

Okay, not sure how clear this is going to be, but here’s what I’m chewing on this morning . . . Started in on Galatians and what initially grabs me and stirs my soul is this: But when He who … Continue reading
A Spirit of Gentleness
Read a well-known verse this morning, but honestly, with unexpected consequences. Started to breeze through a familiar “command to obey,” but encountered a living and active sword along the way. One word. That’s all it was, one word. And it … Continue reading
