- 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)

Forgiven. Not Forgotten
Okay, here’s one of those thoughts that I think is a valid thought but, to be honest, as I type this I’m kind of hearing it put this way for the first time myself. If not entirely correct, it’s at … Continue reading
Put Away (2008 Remix)
As I look back in the archives, the format of my journaling was a little different back in the early days. Obvious this morning as I read some thoughts from 2008. But regardless of how I rendered my words, the … Continue reading
A Question. An Answer. An Effect
Okay, as I sit back after my readings and start in on this morning’s meal, it’s scrambled eggs. No one passage, no single thought, rises to the surface as THE thing to meditate on. Rather, it’s a mix of observations … Continue reading

Seventy-Seven Times
“I’ll take hard-to-obey commands of Jesus for $1,000, Alex.” “Okay. And the answer is: On this one you’ll want to go with the ESV’s seventy-seven rather than the CSB’s seventy times seven. But in reality, you’re not gonna be crazy … Continue reading
Forgiven Much
You probably couldn’t have orchestrated a more stark contrast. A Pharisee, a he, and a sinner, a she, with Jesus in their midst. He had no water for Jesus’ feet, though custom would have dictated that would have been the … Continue reading
Where’d It Go?
If yesterday’s readings covered one of my favorite chapters, 2 Samuel 9, this morning I endure one of my least favorite, 2 Samuel 11. What a dolt David was! He should have been where kings ought to have been, going … Continue reading
Your People! No, Your People.
“The LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend” (Ex. 33:11). Scripture testifies that this was the unique relationship between the Creator and this particular image-bearer. Like neighbors might over a backyard … Continue reading

Reject Equine Tendencies
As I work through my daily reading plan, one of the things I’m watching for are commands to obey. This morning, I found one. Be not like a horse or a mule . . . (Psalm 32:9a ESV) How’s that … Continue reading
God of My Righteousness
You can deduct from David’s lyrics that the occasion which spurred his writing of the fourth Psalm was a time when he was on the wrong end of a smear campaign. His honor was being turned to shame (4:2a). Those … Continue reading

Verse 28
Would it be safe to say that because we are quick to focus on the one verse we might under appreciate the other? That’s what I’m thinking when it comes to the one sin which never has forgiveness overshadowing the … Continue reading
