Revelation 8 and my new beater truck Eeyore the 2nd

    Good Wednesday morning to all of you, way back in the day we called this hump-day as the rest of the week is downhill from here. But my week is just getting rolling now, so much to do before Saturday, as I am hosting a breakfast party for a men's group that is commencing from Re/Generation this month! I am a mentor to one of the guys in this group and have so much to celebrate in what God has done and is doing in this man’s life! I also have a doctor’s appointment today, and the title work to do on my new-to-me beater truck. At the whopping price of two thousand dollars, it will be hard to go wrong on this beauty! It is a true antique vehicle at 42 years old. Sadly, I am pretty sure I have given up on Eeyore, my 32-year-old jeep, she was new enough to have a computer and all those sensors. You can really get lost chasing problems in all those electrical issues at that age, with a finicky computer and junk sensors and wiring! But the new Eeyore has none of that, just a carburetor and no computer, you can get this thing back running with bailing wire and bubblegum! Well, that and maybe a foil chewing gum wrapper if a fuse blows! I had this same make and model truck back in college, less the four-wheel drive, and Madeline and I loved it, mostly for its extremely good gas mileage! On the trip back from purchasing her in Weatherford to The Little Hundred Acre Wood she used less than two and a half gallons of gas! I am not sure what it is with old men and old trucks, but I just get a bit giddy behind the wheel of this old rattling rusty beast! I will be sorting a few things on her soon as the few ordered parts start trickling in this week. 

   Well, I sure got off on a rabbit trail there, let’s get to The Daily Bible Challenge, after all that is why we are all here! We are in chapter 8 of Revelation. There is a lot of doom in this chapter but I am reveling in verse one as the “Lamb” broke the seventh and final seal. This marks the beginning of the apocalyptic destruction. We can get so misguided about all the facets of God’s personality, He is far too complicated for me to fully understand, but I still try! Please don’t get hung up on all this violence and destruction, focus on the good. He did give us a pathway out of this if we will just take that path! If you have questions about that pathway, please send us a private direct message and we will get back with you shortly!

   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...
