The mind of God is so far beyond our imagining. Just when I think I’ve got a few things down pat, I realize I’ve hardly begun. Yet, there are other times when I experience the Holy Spirit shining light on a passage and I feel like I’m getting a glimpse of some further meanings …. … Continue reading “What’s God Thinking”

“Brains Are Not Enough”
You may have noticed that the BLOG is back from vacation. Actually the BLOG was not on vacation …… I was taking a bit of a “vacation from the BLOG”….. the BLOG is not a real person. Anyway, I was thinking about what goes into publishing a BLOG almost every day. I estimate that I … Continue reading “Brains Are Not Enough”
“Don’t Worry”
I’ve often been struck by the title given to Moses as the meekest man on earth…. meek not meaning ”milk-toast”, but simply trusting that God has your back. Moses didn’t defend himself, he trusted God to defend him. While there are a number of passages that support this truth, there is one that really shows how … Continue reading “Don’t Worry”
“The Battle Is The Lord’s”
Originally Posted Jan. 24, 2022 Most of us know the story of David and Goliath. Yet sometimes it’s reduced to a children’s story or a clever little song. In the secular world, “the phrase ”David and Goliath” has taken on a more popular meaning denoting an underdog situation, a contest wherein a smaller, weaker opponent faces a much bigger, stronger … Continue reading “The Battle Is The Lord’s”
“God’s Will Is Always The Best”
Originally Posted Jan. 21, 2022 “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel will save it.” (Mark 8: 34-37) Trying to hear and obey … Continue reading “God’s Will Is Always The Best”
“Our Gifts Belong To God”
Originally Posted Jan.20, 2022 We need each other. It’s a blessing when someone stops to help when you’re stranded along the side of the road…. or when you’re sick and a doctor or nurse shows up. If you have a confusing tax issue, thank God for the helpful accountant. Yet outside some pretty defined guidelines … Continue reading “Our Gifts Belong To God”
“Discipleship Doesn’t End With The Call”
Originally Posted Jan. 19, 2022 I’d like to put a footnote to yesterday’s BLOG about “going deeper”. The final point made in the God’s Word Among Us article (Jan. 15, 2022) was about being ready. It says, “God is ALWAYS calling us, so we need to be on the alert at all times. We need to … Continue reading “Discipleship Doesn’t End With The Call”
“God Is Mighty”
“Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.” (1Chron. 29:11) Yet today it seems that God has some … Continue reading “God Is Mighty”
“The Works Of God Are All Of Them Good”
“Listen, my faithful children….. send up the sweet odor of your hymn of praise; bless the Lord for all he has done! Proclaim the greatness of his name, loudly sing his praises, with music on the harp and all stringed instruments; sing out with joy as you proclaim: The works of God are all of them good.”(Sir. … Continue reading “The Works Of God Are All Of Them Good”
“We’re Home”
Well we’re home from our little vacation. Judy and I had a week at the beach… a few days alone and a few days with guests. We were blessed to have good prayer, daily mass, a lot of good food, and the beautiful ocean to remind us of the great and powerful Lord that we … Continue reading “We’re Home”
