Garbage in Garbage out! Sept. 30 “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:8 NIV I think we’ve all heard the saying, “garbage in garbage out.”  Some of us may haveContinue reading “Garbage in Garbage out”

Let’s be honest we all like it when people say nice things about us. But a true friend will see the flaws in our life and help us see them. A man is often blind to his own faults. How we respond when someone says something to us that we don’t like is a greatContinue reading “Friends and Enemies”

Church Sept. 28 During my cancer treatment I spent 10 days hospitalized and all alone. It was during the COVID 19 shut down and I was allowed no visitors. I would see a nurse every few hours but they keep the visits short and to the point. During this time I would read my BibleContinue reading “Church”

I replaced the original picture with this one. The original pic showed a sick, ugly mangy dog. I was receiving comments that the picture was disturbing. But in a way that’s the point. Our sin looks way worse to God and is much more disturbing. It’s sad that a picture bothers us so much yetContinue reading “Dogs and Men”

Refuge  Sept. 25  “select some towns to be your cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone accidentally may flee.” Numbers 35:11 NIV Here’s something I was thinking about. Not sure where my kids learned this but whenever they are hurt or afraid they come to me or their Mom. We didContinue reading “Refuge”

Cross Contamination  Sept. 23  “But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will give you trouble in the land where you will live.” Numbers 33:55 NIV God was clear that the Israelites were toContinue reading “Cross Contamination”

Old Tents Sept. 21 Let’s be honest for a second. We spend a lot of our time in life trying to make ourselves comfortable. We buy new cars and remodel our houses. Some of us have shoe fetishes and buy nice clothes. Others may workout insistently. Or go and get plastic surgery. Here’s the bottomContinue reading “Old Tent”

If we are but vessels to be used by our Lord then let us be filled with His love. And if then filled let the love of our savior come overflowing out of this vessel and rain down blessings on all around. Let our outflow of blessing never forget the poor and needy.

Believe a Lie or Bountiful Harvest Sept. 18 What’s going on?  I watch the news and look around at the world and it makes me wonder.  At times it looks like our country is out of control, not to mention the whole world.  I see angry people looting and rioting.  It seems to get worseContinue reading “Believe a Lie or Bountiful Harvest”

A New Job Sept.16 For most of us starting the first day of a new job can be nerve racking and exciting at the same time. What if I don’t like this new job? What if my new boss is not nice? What if I don’t like my new coworkers or worse yet they don’tContinue reading “A New Job”

Be ENCOURAGED brothers and sisters. Our Lord is coming back for us. (And I believe the time is near) We will be reunited with our loved ones. We will be perfected in our bodies, hearts and minds. Soon we will be together FOREVER With our Lord and Savior. TY Jesus.

Sept. 14 “On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine— the best of meats and the finest of wines.” Isaiah 25:6 NIV In heaven we will have more things to do than just worship.  How about a party?  Not just any oldContinue reading “More Things to do in Heaven”

In these four words we can find the whole story. For the, ”beginning” makes one think of what was before that. Here Scripture tells us that before the beginning there was God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. With in this was a relationship of Love.(John 17:5, 17:24) There was communicationContinue reading “God”

Discipline is never pleasant but often needful. Our response to correction from God or man reveals what is inside. We are to lean to except , dare I saw love discipline. Now to learn to love correction is a hard deed. But it is something Scripture tells us we are to do.

Sept. 11. What to do? “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” Deuteronomy 6:5 NIV A question I have and I’m sure many others have asked is, “What will we do in heaven?”  If you have asked that question good because its aContinue reading “What to do?”

Each and every human that has ever lived has had to chose a team. Like it or not you are right now either on God’s side or on the side of Satan. That decision is up to you.

I’m going to Heaven “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” Colossians 3:1-2 NIV I’m going to Heaven, anyone know the address? Yes, as Christians we know whereContinue reading “Going to Heaven”

Heaven Sept. 7 A little bit of skepticism is not a bad thing. Perhaps I was a Trooper for too many years. For I always listen to a story with a little skepticism mixed in. God only knows how many times I asked, “what happened” or even “how many drinks have you had tonight” andContinue reading “Heaven”

Moving Day Sept. 4 Has anyone ever moved to a new city? I have a few times in my life and its not my favorite thing. Most of the time before one moves you make a trip to the new city to kind of check it out and find a place to live. Only onceContinue reading “Moving Day”

Chosen V Sept. 2 Well for those who have been paying attention you may have noticed that we have a paradox.  Well, I should say more correctly that it is a antinomous situation.  What is an antinomy? It a term used in logic or a legal context. It is an apparent contradiction between two statements,Continue reading “Chosen V”
