I have borrowed the phrase, “Tiny buckets of our minds”, from Chris Anderson who partnered with Joe Tyrpak and Carl Trueman to write the encouraging, “Gospel Meditations for Prayer”. I’ll get to that next but let me first tell you about a sewing competition. I was watching a rerun of Project Runway where the competitors…

I was thrilled when I thought I had slept in until about 8:30 AM & then I lifted my head to see that it was actually 9:30. Hallelujah! I’ve have two good sleeps while recovering from a fourteen hour flight until last night when 3:00 AM felt like a decent time to rise. I grabbed…

I’ve recently written about the woman who snuck up behind Jesus out of desperation. She was unclean from a many-year issue of blood. She is, for me, a model of hope and never giving up. I have been looking to her example for years and you know who I’m talking about. I’m currently reading ‘Gospel…

I imagine that the day after Easter is quite busy for the devil. He knows scripture and that when Jesus comes again he will be cast into hell. The devil has no power over God but he tries to exert power over men and women, boys and girls. He will try to convince people that…

It is odd how we landmark terrible events like covid. I’m remembering a short-term missions trip that took place B.C. (before covid). We were in the Appalachians in West Virginia. So many happy memories from that group of believers who believed that we could make a difference by serving a community in the name of…

As we approach Good Friday and Easter, there are many reminders of Jesus and His sacrifice for each and every one of us. There are extra faith-based messages via email. This is a high Holy Week for the followers of Jesus. There isn’t time enough in a day to read everything that appears interesting but…

I wonder if Martha Stewart was named for Mary’s sister in the biblical account from the gospels? I’ve never viewed Martha as a bad guy. Jesus did correct her but He corrects me too. He wanted her to stop fussing. A detailed account is found in John 11:1-44. Martha was probably a nice lady who…

I jumped to conclusions as I read the headlines. It actually said, “Golf’s’ biggest week is here”, but I’m not a great golfer. After a series of lessons (to improve my connection to someone) expecting to retire sometime, my instructor turned me down as a returning student with, “You should work on what I’ve already…

From today’s Bible study on Heaven, to conversations, from reading and processing, and a zoom meeting, it has been a big idea day. Just a few mentions. The Devil in the Dentist Office. It wasn’t even the unlikely event that it would take three attempts to take one X-ray that irritated me but it was…

Today I was challenged by my missions friends to read this chapter and listen for what God wanted to say to me. The most obvious truth is that, “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me to…”. Nothing good comes from our efforts without the Spirit of the…
