The Depths of the Sea

Posted on December 13, 2017 by Pete

I’m no exploration buff. Can’t say I’m particularly well read (or even read, at all) when it comes to boldly going where no man has gone before. Instead, what I think I know, I know from the media. My sense … Continue reading →

Abundantly Pardoned

Posted on September 20, 2017 by Pete

Reading in Isaiah this morning continues to take me back to my roots, rather, to my Rock. As the Lord God, through Isaiah, calls His disciplined people back to myself, I’m reminded of His call to me some 40+ years … Continue reading →

Yet . . .

Posted on July 18, 2017 by Pete

As I looked back over my journal entries tied to today’s reading, for the past several years it’s been the reading in 2Chronicles that’s caused me to pause and reflect. And invariably it’s been on the same theme–voices. The voices … Continue reading →

Failure’s Response

Posted on March 2, 2017 by Pete

Ready to Forgive

Posted on August 9, 2016 by Pete

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 →

Divine Forbearance

Posted on February 25, 2016 by Pete
