- 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)

Oh! It’s a Fourfold Promise
Seeing the date on the calendar, it seems kind of late into the new year to be making my first entry. But last week, all the family gathered together in Bend, Oregon. And, with pickleball one day, and sledding the … Continue reading
Walking with God
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
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
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
An Abomination
“The law of first mention.” Not sure if it’s really a “law”, but as a young believer, more than once, I remember being exhorted to take note of the first time a word or phrase is used in Scripture, or … Continue reading

An Egyptian Servant and A Hebrew King (2019 Rerun)
This week isn’t going to be the week I get back into routine . . . we’ll target that for next week. So, after reading, went back into the archives for something to chew on. Re-posting some thoughts from five years … Continue reading
In the Beginning
I’m not waiting for the new year. This morning I jump into my 2024 reading plan, reading from Genesis, Matthew, Acts, and Psalms. And the common theme I’m considering as I chew on this morning’s readings? As the year comes to end, … Continue reading
Gathered to His People
Euphemisms, we use them all the time. Using a word or phrase in place of another word or phrase that makes us uncomfortable. In my corporate life, we often preferred to talk about “downsizing” rather than “job eliminations.” For those … Continue reading

Tethered by a Promise
Had one of those “Don’t think I’ve ever noticed this, much less thought about this” encounters with the Word this morning. Reading in a passage I have read in many times before. Seeing things in it I had seen many … Continue reading
A Limp for a Lifetime
I think it was with Jesus. I think Jacob spent all night in toe-to-toe, hand-to-hand combat with the pre-incarnate manifestation of the the Second Person of the Trinity, the Son of God (Gen. 32:24). That the King of heaven had … Continue reading
