- 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)

God’s People (2018 Remix)

Our HOV Lane
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

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

Look Way Up!
Talking to my daughter last night, and I had to laugh when I asked her how her day was and she said she’d put another check mark on her wall to help her keep track that another day had passed. … Continue reading
