- 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)

A Drip of Disobedience
It’s the first drip in what quickly becomes a gushing reality. The first hint that the worst is yet to come. The beginning of the setup as to why Israel would come to need judges to deliver them. And, as … Continue reading

But You Said
He had survived the going away party, but he was worried that he might not make it through the homecoming gala. It had been angry uncle Laban and “his kinsmen” you had pursued Jacob and Jacob’s clan as they sought … Continue reading
