I'm a race horse fan for three races a year. The first just happened a few days ago and it was a dooozy! The Kentucky Derby has been run for around 135 years now and the winner on May 2 – Mine That Bird – was the second longest odds in its history. Get this [...]
Just a simple thought today. I am reading in the book of John, chapter 10 precisely. What a comfort, what a joy that He says He is "the Good Shepherd"?
One of the tremendous benefits that come from the Good Shepherd is found in John 10:9. Jesus tells us that we can go out and in (make our own choices, live our [...]
Here are a couple of more thoughts I've seen in my walking through John lately that I wanted you to see:
From chapter 4 and the very familiar story of the woman at the well, I found a phrase I don't think I've thought before pondered. In verse 14 Jesus says that whoever drinks of [...]
It is indeed a fresh new year and with it I have found a "new" area of the Word to look at. It's been a while since I've studied in the gospel of John so I began the year there. Here is some of what I've found so far.
First, a disclaimer … or an [...]
Heads up. Yes, it’s another Dad application. Hey, what can I say? It’s where I am right now.
I am reading Psalms for my quiet time these days. It was the 9th day so I read the 9th Psalm. (Don’t ask me what I’ll do when I get to day 32 – April 1. I don’t [...]
I am in a Bible-reading-blogging mode. I read the Bible – like many other people do – from where I am in my life at the time. It is amazing how God can speak to you if you take the time and "ask for the eyes" to see what He has for you.

I don’t really have time to scratch my nose right now with Romance and Roses coming this Friday, but on the other side of it, I’ve got some simple thoughts from Proverbs I’d like to share with you.
Speaking of R&R, you have been overwhelmingly responsive once again! Thank-you for your enthusiasm about this marriage [...]
(Reading the previous post will help make some sense out of this one.)
Just one more thought before we leave ‘Joe’:
From Genesis 50, Pat Hood mentioned, in his sermon yesterday, that Joe (the Joseph of Genesis) finished strong. Not because he had wealth or power, but because he was pursuing God, staying close to Him [...]
As you can tell by the postings dates, it’s been a while since I began my unexpected "blog sabbatical". A lot has happened to take me out of commission, but it’s good to be back. Here is where my heart has been lately:
About 11 years ago, my dad had a stroke. Right out of [...]
Another response to the Lord from that precious resurrection morning:
It was so special that you showed Yourself to Mary first. You made her special in doing that. Mary was all of us:
– sins well-documented
– self-esteem challenged to say the least
– terribly confused
Isn’t that a lot like us?
– sins well-documented (at least in [...]
