- 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)

Eat Your Greens
Two more helpings of greens this morning as I wrap up Hebrews. Thought I’d go back and chew on all the “let us” that’s been served up over the past four weeks. Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest … Continue reading
Reality Within Hyperbole
“Hyperbole”: a figure of speech that uses exaggeration for emphasis, not to be taken literally. That’s what I think I’m encountering as Jesus makes a point to His disciples in Mark 10. But within this hyperbole, I’m chewing on some … Continue reading

On the road again. That’s where Jesus and his disciples were, on the road again “going up to Jerusalem” (Mark 10:32). Jerusalem, the city which was remembered for the best of times — those days past when they made the … Continue reading
You’ve Never Been This Way Before
For the past 40 years it had become pretty routine, “whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle the people of Israel would set out” (Ex. 40:36). When the glory got up and got going, the people packed … Continue reading
A One-Way Trip (2010 Rerun)
Chewing on a command to obey as I wrap up Hebrews. Went back deep in my journal archives and noodled on some thoughts from 2010. I smile at the things that came to mind then about “the camps I’ve had … Continue reading
Ruin and Recruitment
A lament within the church for as long as I’ve been a believer has been that far too many of us in the family aren’t really in the game. That though we praise God for the benefits of new life, … Continue reading

Our Personal Purpose Statement
He was on his way to Jerusalem. How come? He was compelled by the Spirit. That’s a good thing, yes? Hmm . . . depends how you wanna define good. While he knew that he was bound by the Spirit … Continue reading
