The Professional Basketball Season (NBA) just ended. I’m amazed at the talent level (gift level) of these players …. their athleticism, skill set, endurance. … Continue reading “A Wonderful Life”
“It Is You O Lord, You Are The Only One”
I recently sent a note to a friend and BIG Miami Heat fan, congratulating him on how his team had put up a very good fight against the Denver Nuggets who are up 3-1 in the NBA finals. Well, he just got back to me quoting Yogi Berra, “Dave, it ain’t over till it’s over”. Hmmmm, Bill … Continue reading “It Is You O Lord, You Are The Only One”

God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it.” (1Cor. 10:13) Hmmmmm, easier said than done.

“Stand In The Door”
The second to last command to paratroopers getting ready to exit the airplane is “stand in the door”… they’ve already heard “stand up… hook up…check equipment.
