- 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)

The Joy of the LORD
It’s not like they didn’t have just cause to mourn. Not like there was no good reason to grieve. In fact, under any other circumstance, their tears would have been the appropriate response to what they had just heard preached. … Continue reading

Just Like David Did
Wasn’t planning on “re-cycling” this morning. But as I went back over my posts on today’s readings from past years some thoughts from August 11, 2011 stirred me. Thought I’d re-work them a bit and share them again. My own … Continue reading
Ready to Forgive
Back online . . . and hopefully, for awhile at least, back in routine. I’ve enjoyed the break. Enjoyed spending focused time with the family of God. Enjoyed a quick road trip south to central Oregon to connect with my … Continue reading
Stewards of Blessing . . . Delighting Our God . . . Guiding Our Neighbor
Not gonna lie . . . it feels like forever since I sat at this keyboard trying to corral some thoughts from my morning readings. Last week was spent with church family on our annual camping trip. While the morning’s … Continue reading

Confession
What had begun as a rebuilding program . . . and had transformed into a national reform program . . . eventually budded into a full blown revival program. Overall, reading Nehemiah is pretty inspiring. I get especially jazzed when … Continue reading

Remember Me
Kind of funny how this morning began. As I got up and went through my regular routine to shake away the cob webs (involves coffee!), I started to anticipate my readings for the morning . . . that I would … Continue reading

Just Like David
I didn’t expect him to be there. Kind of surprised he showed up . . not just once, but four times. It’s been 600 years since he was physically on the scene. But when it’s time to rejoice . . … Continue reading
