1ST Samuel 11 God's deliverance through Saul!



 We bid you all a good Saturday morning as far as this post shall reach! I worked hard, maybe too hard for my age, yesterday, but now my little corner office looking over the Little Hundred Acre Wood has new flooring. The carpets were cheap and old when we moved in eight years ago, and with the hounds at my feet daily, they had become disgusting! The animals are not sure about these brand-new wood floors, but we humans love them! With the dark walls and the four new windows, this room is just how I had imagined it would be someday after the rest of the house was put together. My darling bride’s desires were put before mine, after all, this is her castle, well, really more of a farmhouse…LOL! Mostly, my territory is the basement area, except for this office, now it is my little slice of heaven on earth!

 I sit here in this office in the wee hours of the morning writing to you about my Lord and Savior, Jesus, the one who is the Christ! I have spent much of my adult life reading the Bible, and one day God put it on my heart to start sharing it with people, to my surprise, through social media! We read the Bible one or sometimes two chapters a day, 365 days a year. God put it on my heart when I was 18 that I was to go to seminary. Well. I hemmed and hawed for many years, but finally finished that in my old age. Now I serve in our church and do this ministry and a few others.

 I tell you this not to brag, you see, I was far from the Lord in my heart, deeds, and words for many years, rejecting His calling and even running from Him! I strayed far, doing many unthinkable things. I was an addict of many kinds, with Alcohol being my go-to sin! But later in life, I learned that that was all stemming from the sin of Pride. God delivered me from alcohol, sexual addictions, and much more. I have been sober for 26 years now due to His deliverance, not my will-power! You see, that is why I get up daily before the sun and write to you. I want to tell you the good news! He can deliver you, too! Basically, the Gospel of Jesus is that we are all sinners and through His sacrifice on the cross, we can all be forgiven and start a new life in Christ. Often referred to as being born again…Jesus’ own words!

 We hope to talk 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...
