1st Samuel 20, Saul is still trying to kill David and now his own son too!



  As I write this letter to you, there is a great thunderstorm deeply soaking the entire Little Hundred Acre Wood of our homestead. We needed this deep rain to prepare for winter and spring. The neighbors down the hill are trying to get out and are headed to drop off kids and then get to work! I do not envy them on such a morning as this! I have done that for decades, and now I am free from such things, yet somehow they are missed, too!

  My mission these days is mostly from this keyboard; God commissioned me with two things for the rest of my life. The first is to try and talk you into reading/listening to the whole Bible cover to cover (that’s The Daily Bible Challenge). The second is to talk with you personally via PM/DM and sometimes phone calls and in person, about a new life in Christ! This is more important than the first, but to get into a deep saving relationship with Christ that changes you from the inside out, the first is almost a prerequisite! No, reading the Bible is not required to be saved; just look at the account of the thief on the cross next to Jesus! But living a life honoring God is a lot easier if you read the instruction book He left us!

  So would you consider helping me fulfil my life mission? Just click the link below and start reading your Bible (well, the link is an audiobook, so start listening, but you can also go to BLB.ORG and read along!) Then, if you have questions about a new life in Christ, or the scripture, please shoot us a PM/DM on any platform you are reading this on, and we will get back to you personally…not a bot response!

  One more closing point, if you are new to all this, you might want to start in John 1:1 instead of this deep Old Testament stuff we are now in. Please click the link to start your journey through the Bible and learn more about God in 1st Samuel 20, as Jonathan and David try to navigate staying alive with King Saul wanting to kill both of them now!

  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...
