Day After Day

Posted on January 17, 2025 by Pete

The Break Through Kid

Posted on January 16, 2025 by Pete

Don’t know why (yeah, I kinda’ do, thinking it’s a Spirit thing), but I find myself hovering over a “breakthrough baby” this morning. “Breakthrough” because he literally “broke out.” When the time of her labor came, there were twins in … Continue reading →

Walking with God

Posted on December 30, 2024 by Pete

I’m pretty sure it’s a first — the first time I’ve colored this phrase with this color. Continuing to read in Genesis and working my way through Adam’s descendants (okay, honestly, I’m skimming my way through the genealogy). And I … Continue reading →

Grace Questioning

Posted on December 27, 2024 by Pete

Continuing in the early chapters of Genesis this morning, and I’m drawn to three questions. And as I chew on them, I’m inclined to thinking of them as questions of grace. And [Adam and Eve] heard the sound of the … Continue reading →

My Beginnings, My Future

Posted on December 26, 2024 by Pete

Not waiting for the new year to crack open my new bible to begin again a new year of readings directed by my reading plan. And so, I start this morning in Genesis 1, (a very good place to start). … Continue reading →
