- 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)

Seeking the City
Wrapping up Hebrews this morning. What a trip! Jesus is better! Better than the angels, better than Moses, better than the Levitical priesthood. The promises are better, too. As is the way of faith, the way that pleases God (Heb. … Continue reading
Casting Shade
Met with a friend yesterday. He’s going through it. Through the gauntlet. Through the storm. Through the fire. The crucible burning hot, he’s intensely feeling some purifying heat. Maybe that’s why shade hits my radar so brightly this morning. I … Continue reading

God’s People (2018 Remix)
Never been a nomad, always had a place to hang my hat, a fixed address to go home to every night. Can’t really say I understand what it’s like to be an exile, a stranger in a foreign land–not even … Continue reading

Isaiah 35 looks forward to a day when the wilderness will be renewed. A day when the weak of hands and the feeble of knees and the anxious of heart will be redeemed. A day when “they shall see the … Continue reading

Songs For The Sojourner (2014 Rerun)
Read these thoughts from 10 years ago and smiled as I remembered the days when music came in the form of CDs to be downloaded rather than as something to be subscribed to and streamed. A lot has changed in … Continue reading
Heart Highways
When we moved to the U.S. over twenty years ago, we adopted a new bible. Not one that replaced the one we took to church, but one which was added and referenced almost always when we got into the car. … Continue reading
Counsel That Transcends Circumstance
Whatever it meant to be one of the “exiles of the Dispersion”, you sense life isn’t easy for those Peter is writing to in 1 Peter. Life’s not going “swimmingly.” Far from it, you sense. Instead, it seems kind of … 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

A Foreign Residence
Had another conversation the other day with someone longing to just get back to “normal.” But, I countered, what if this is normal? This season, this insanity, this instability, masks on, six feet apart — what if this is normal? … Continue reading

A Song for Every Season
Assuming it was David who wrote Psalm 119, I wonder what season he may have had in mind when he penned the fifty-forth verse. Did he think to his time as a boy in his father’s house tending sheep while … Continue reading
