Genesis 3 and old trucks

    Good Friday morning to all of you! Easter is around the corner now and marks spring for us here on The Little Hundred Acre Wood, our grass is growing tall enough to mow soon and we have even seen a few wildflowers and surprise lilies pop up. We have had our first asparagus harvest too! We love fresh asparagus! It has been quite warm but I have had to use my days on getting Eeyore II ready for prime time instead of remodeling our home. I had a semi-successful run into Weatherford in her yesterday. With only two minor issues to work out along the way, I will count that as a win! But with a 42-year-old truck that has not been on the road in a while, these things are to be expected for a while. 

   If you are asking what would make a man drive around in such an old truck it is just this simple! I am tired of fighting all the faulty electronics in modern cars, they last about eight to ten years then you are fighting cheap components that shut down the whole car leaving you stranded. These older vehicles can be repaired on the roadside without needing any finicky computers along the way. Now here is the part I find really funny, I have a degree in electronics and computers, and yet these new cars can become a nightmare to repair! So all those fancy options my truck doesn’t have are many of the things that normally break along the way. As long as my arm works, I can roll down the manually cranked windows LOL! But this is Texas so soon I will be restoring the airconditioning, that has to work and work well!   

   We are here for The Daily Bible Challenge, not car repair 101, so we better get moving, I hope you are all prayed up like I am and ready to listen to God’s word about the original fall of man in Genesis 3. Because of what we will be reading/listening to this morning we will understand why we are all like those vehicles destined to fail along the roadside of life. We need a Savior and He is Jesus the Messiah. Things were simpler before satan tempted Eve. What a life we would have had in the garden with God, had Adam done a better job of leading his wife away from the Tree of Knowledge. I have always felt shame as Adam blamed God for the sin because He gave him Eve! Eve blamed satan, but in reality, she might should have blamed herself first and then her husband's poor leadership. I would love to hear your thoughts on this via PM/DM. Because of this original sin, we all sin now. Before this, there was no sin in man, but there was a sin even before this one when satan fell from heaven because he sinned against God, thinking he was up to the challenge to replace God. Pride is at the root of all sin, we should learn about our pride and have a good understanding of how to keep it from leading us to hell! 

   Talk with you soon!

Exodus 13 Hopeful recipiant of God's Love

      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...

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

   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 10-11 Locusts and much worse on the way!

Image
     Good Wednesday morning to all of you! It is a strange morning for mid-May here on The Little Hundred Acre Wood. It is 57 degrees, and for us, that is a cold morning in May; our mornings are typically 76 degrees or more by this date. I will take full advantage of the cool weather for a project on my antique truck! Soon enough, we will have triple-digit weather for at least 3 months, so we will take advantage of any breaks like today! Later, I have a lunch with my son and my bride of 38 years in a small town a bit south of us. I love these little excursions just for fun or even for work, travel is something that is set in my bones for life! Soon we will be able to take some of these trips in my little antique truck, and that will make it even more of an adventure! But none of my adventures can hold a candle to Moses and Aaron as they battled with a king, the pharaoh of Egypt. For Today’s Daily Bible Challenge, we are in Exodus 10 and 11 this morning, just let the a...
