- 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)

No More Tears
The fact of the matter is that I am less sure now of how the “end times” play out than I was 30 or 40 years ago. Then, I had it nailed and was ready to spot, identify, and check-off … Continue reading
How Heavy is Heaven?
True confession . . . I start most days with the NY Times and a quick scan of the headlines (right after I do the day’s Wordle). And then, as time permits, over the course of the morning I tap … Continue reading

Palm branches in heaven. That’s what I’m noodling on this morning. In the latter portion of Revelation 7, John sees “a vast multitude” of people, “standing before the throne and before the Lamb” (7:9). They’re from “every nation, tribe, people, … Continue reading

A Homeland, A Country, A City
Some mornings it’s like eating the biggest steak with all the trimmings and then gorging yourself on the richest of desserts. You sit back and you are full — like really, really full. That’s this morning as I feasted on … Continue reading

The Presentation
I’ve got a road trip to take this morning so limited time for noodling and note-taking. Captured again by Paul’s divine jealousy in my 2Corinthians 11 reading. Thought I’d go back in the archives and pull out something to post. … Continue reading

Swallowed Up By Life
The best is yet to come. For the believer that’s always a true statement. No matter how good it has been, the best is yet to come. No matter how good it is, or might get, the best is still … Continue reading

My Right Hand, His Right Hand
We know it’s a Messianic psalm, a song about the Christ. Though words were put to music by David at a certain time for a specific reason, God breathed out the lyrics, conceived before the foundation of the earth, through … Continue reading
