Good morning, I hope this letter finds you and yours well and in good spirits! I was able to get the inside farmhouse trim on the last two new windows in my little corner office yesterday before heading out to our community group with my darling bride Madeline last night. Today I will finish all three windows with caulking and some tiny molding and paint. I am not the best at pacing myself as my mind still thinks my body is twenty-five, but my body keeps my mind honest these days! If the part arrives, I am also going to install a clock spring on a truck I just sold. I sure look forward to Elon’s crew getting to the post office, as this part is currently late and tracking shows it for two days now making the 1 hour trip from Fort Worth to Granbury! Life is full of such delays, but this lady needs her new truck and I need the money LOL! I will probably buy the part locally today and send the other one back if it ever arrives! 

   If you are already a believer and are just here for the Bible, this may be a good point to just click the link to BLB.ORG below and listen to Jude! So why do I ramble on this way when this is a Bible Challenge, not a personal activities blog? Because we are to be transparent as followers of Christ. Our lives are full of struggles just like everyone else. But we are to live not of this world, just in it! We are to face these challenges with a kind and loving spirit, not a bitter heart for not getting our way! In doing so we will reflect God’s love to others and make them curious about God and if they can have a life like this too! So please bear with me as I get to share God’s story of what He has done with this formally drunken, angry soul who now lives a life full of Joy regardless of our circumstances! Well, at least most days, somedays I fail and get frustrated, after all, I am a mere human! 

   Today’s Daily Bible Challenge is Jude 1, and it is full of steps to keep your eye on God as you go through the struggles of living in this world. But as with lots of these books, there is a good warning of why we need to heed the word of the Lord and repent. As always we welcome your comments and questions via Direct Messaging! 

   Talk with you soon!

Leviticus 9 Be a doer of God's word! It is a safer place to be, don't make stuff up on your own!

Image
   Good morning, I will keep my ramblings very short this morning because we are doing two chapters for Todfay's Daily Bible Challenge. We are listening to chapters 9 and 10 of Leviticus. Chapter ten has something new for you to help break the difficult monotony of Leviticus! When the audiobook finishes chapter nine, just wait three seconds, and chapter ten will start on its own.    God was very clear in His instructions, and Moses and Aaron presented the details very clearly. God’s wrath was stirred when things were not followed correctly! Two sons of Aaron were made examples of by God to establish just how serious He was about how to run the tabernacle and the rituals of sacrifice. Priests and assistant priests were held to a very high standard, as they should still be today! Click the link below to listen for yourself! Talk with you soon! https://www.blueletterbible.org/audio_video/popPlayer.cfm?type=nasb_n&b=3&c=9

Exodus 13 Hopeful recipiant of God's Love

Image
      Good Friday morning to all of you! We have a busy day today with behind-the-scenes work for God and His people. This is the kind of thing most people don’t even think of, yet it is part of making all the pieces fit together in a church. There are so many people reaching out in need every week around the world, but behind the scenes, someone is vetting the recipients, and then after that, others are serving them with hearts full of hope and love! You may be asking, “What is this vetting”? Well, to be good stewards of God’s resources, someone needs to make sure these are not con artists going from church to church and other organizations every month, taking advantage and living high off the generosity of others and stealing those resources from the truly needy. But after the vetting, there is only love, support, and opportunities to grow and find a pathway to break the chains of poverty. For some, it is a temporary situation, a crisis pregnancy, or a sudden m...

Exodus 16 God's Provision, Manna

Image
 God's Provision, Manna Good morning from the little corner office overlooking the rainy and thoroughly soaked, Little Hundred Acre Wood. There are still flashes of extreme lightning in the distance. I have always loved this artwork, but it seems to have passed by and is on its way east. This provision of rain will be nourishing our grape orchard, and it’s just in time to save the young grapes, our largest crop ever after planting five years ago now. These are all table grapes, and our weather is not ideal for growing these. Maybe this year will be our first real abundance of grapes! We are quite entrenched in The Little Hundred Acre Wood now, this will be the longest we have lived in one house, seven years has always marked big changes in our lives. Who knows what God will bring this time, or if He has plans for us to stay planted here for the rest of our days. God sure had plans for His people in Exodus 16, and for forty years, they will be moving from place to place as the...
