Joshua 7 You think your Monday started rough?



   Good morning, it's Monday again. Will you make it a great day or be distracted by the day that too many of us dread? Please don’t focus on such trivial things when there is so much good yet to do today! You can be the change in your life; the decision is easy, but I will admit the work is hard. Deciding to start a new life that is full of JOY instead of dread is exciting. If you hate your job, find a new, better one. If you dread your family, then here is where it gets very hard. If they are not violent, then you need to be the change, love unconditionally as Christ loves us! Love is more than an emotion; it is a decision. We pick ourselves back up and decide daily to love again! Learn what you can about conflict resolution, and if they won’t reconcile, then learn what it takes to be positive in trials.

  Just this morning, we had more spiritual warfare before six in the morning; it has been very harsh and often lately. Today, satan tried to use a skunk to dissuade me from writing to all of you. The sorrowful hounds are on the front porch stinking to high heaven, and there they will stay until the smell dissipates (after much hard work, from us, I am sure!). But we will approach this day as a gift, and maybe the hounds will be wiser now, well, one of them will, the other is not the brightest bulb on the shelf! Coco, the not-so-bright one, caught the most of it and somehow smells like a truckload of onions! Her sidekick just passed through the cloud and just smells like skunk! Now, I could be mad as a hornet and let satan win, but instead I am laughing that we finally get to experience this famous storyline of rural living. No, I will not enjoy the work ahead, but life's too short to wallow in anger!

  Let's get to The Daily Bible Challenge in Joshua 7, where we will read of how someone in the camp sinned against God and took things from Jericho that were banned by God as booty! There will be terrible consequenses for this trespass against God. It will affect the whole community in many horrific ways!

  If you have questions or comments, please send them via PM/DM, and we will get back with you soon!

Revelation 3 Don't be luke warm!

         Good morning, it is the day so many long for, Saturday at last! For any of you in Israel and other parts of the world, Happy Sabbath to all of you. Although some will think it is untrue, my Sabbath is Sunday, I base this on Mark 2:27, but as my Sundays are filling with church work, I may start Saturday Sabbaths soon! If you are new here, welcome to The Daily Bible Challenge, where we are reading/listening to the whole Bible cover to cover. We aren’t doing this for foolish bragging rights but to learn more about God directly from God, instead of just gossip about God from others! Who knows if those have even read the Bible!     Today we are in the book of Revelation chapter 3. It has a lot to digest, but also has so many new questions for us to research. I will not be your teacher, God and your own heart will do that! I am more here to challenge, entice, and even beg you to read and dig in for yourself. After all, I believe ...

Judges 7 God dealing with the pride of man, through Gideon

Image
 Good morning, we have made it to Wednesday, and all is good! What an incredible God story we have in Today’s Daily Bible Challenge as we read/listen to Judges 7. I can only imagine what Gideon must have been feeling as God took away twenty-two thousand of his soldiers. God did this as Gideon was preparing for a battle in which he was already outnumbered by tens of thousands! But Gideon remained faithful, and then God took it from ten thousand to just three hundred! Would you have argued with God, or maybe even just fled for your life?  Are you wondering why God would have done this? In my youth, I wondered about it too! Through this life, I have struggled foolishly with pride for many years, but God has a way of humbling us! Many years ago, God humbled us in ways that shook our lives to the very core! Then, much later in life, God used a great program called Re/Generation to show me how I still struggled with pride and just how many of my sin patterns were originating out of ...

1st Kings 4 Promises kept, although slower that planned!

    Good morning, I hope this letter finds you and yours well. We are doing well here on The Little Hundred Acre Wood. With two hounds at my feet and a tiny cat in my lap, I write to all of you with great joy in my heart! It has been such a blessing to see this blog grow so much this past year, not for my gain but for God’s glory. Please humor me as I catch up on some details for long-time readers on our project list here on the homestead.   The pressure washing will start here on the house today, and the paint should start Monday if the weather holds up for us. Some of the siding got dirty as this project started over two years ago. (even under a real tarp, dirt crept in). A brother from church has asked to do the work, and he is very experienced with painting with the high-pressure spray type rig I am providing. I have to get another five-gallon pail of paint, a case of caulk, and the trim paint this weekend, and lots of protective covering material for the deck and sto...
