Proverbs 4:19 The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know over what they stumble. Another wicked day with Israel declaring war after Hamas launched thousands of rockets. What choice did they have? A previous leader stated that, “You cannot make peace with those who come to kill you”. There is no…

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, YES and forever. Today the Catholic Synod Begins with Pope Francis opening a gathering of Roman Catholic delegates today in Vatican City. I walked those grounds just six months ago. The artist’s vendors and religious items are beautiful and people visiting really respect a kind…

I am looking at the list in my prayer journal of dear people who I love but do not think are following Jesus. I know – how arrogant of me – but not so fast. Last night I watched a very lengthy description of the various incarnations (versions) of the Bible. I know the Bible…

It depends on you but can be a good thing. I have made a habit of this under certain circumstances but my model is Jesus. Jesus took it to the level of calling people out of places to better places. I do not have that skill but I do have good sense. I had joined…

I have about five titles for this little piece. I had such an amazing week – last week. Today I awoke still shaken. Late last night I had taken my biggest hammer to a wall where the biggest, hairy, threatening spider stared down at me. I’m fairly confident there was a smirk. I have never…

I think the news has value but I am not as interested as I used to be. I have heard, however, about an auto strike. The first thing I thought of is an automatic response to God in the form of a strike. We don’t like His values so we ignore them. We are, essentially,…

St Augustine said of the two testaments, “The new is in the old concealed, the old is in the new revealed.” We need both and need to read both. I have always favored the new because it is a story where the old seems to be complicated with many stores but, in combination, tell of…

My mission field is sometimes at Costco. I had the honor of driving some wonderful Saints on some errands today so missed the exercise I had planned but ended up near Costco. I always need gas. Several conversations ensued. The gas station attendant was moving slowly. I noticed a cast and got the story on…

I don’t know if everyone in Heaven will be beautiful but I am guessing yes. I can’t imagine pimples or any other condition that caused shame and embarrassment here. What was once natural in the physical world, and familiar, should be better. A new body is promised and Jesus is the first fruits. James 3:16,…
