Re-posting, pretty much “as is”, some thoughts from this day in my reading plan 15 years ago. After reading and chewing a bit on these passages this morning, I’m still knocked out! By His grace. For His glory. It was … Continue reading →

God Is Faithful Even When Life Isn’t Fair

Posted on April 24, 2023 by Pete

I dive into 2 Corinthians this morning knowing what’s coming. I’m ready again to read one of Paul’s most personal letters. One in which he pours out his heart because his heart has been broken. Personal because the Corinthians have … Continue reading →

Posted on March 28, 2023 by Pete

Heading up to the homeland this morning. Grandkids are on spring break, so I’m taking a few days to hang with them (and their parents). This morning I’m digging into the archives. Warming up a meal from 15 years ago … Continue reading →
