Stepping back in time, I wanted to hit the first four “month of” Sundays. Oddly enough, I missed a week of taking notes altogether. Surely, I was not that late to church. One of the things I did not want to do was feel like I was just repeating four weeks of sermons from my… Continue reading A month of Sunday’s: 2 – Determining

I was just a bridge for one of our cats to crawl from one desk to the other. He seems happy to have me back after two trips away. One of the goofy parts of my travels was showing an animal loving friend some of my kitty pictures. I at least was entertained. After three… Continue reading Daily Summaries: A new level of randomness: 4: The Master

This was my first week making up summaries expecting to write about what I came up with. I was tempted to include reference to the verses from which they came, but refrained. Compared to the previous week, it was a blast. (Pun intended.) Today (as every day) could be life changing, so off I run… Continue reading Daily Summaries: A new level of randomness: 3: The faucet

The book wraps up with the final pattern “Remember there are two of you” and includes chapters Double Vision, God’s Arithmetic, and Pipelines of Grace. Double vision begins with John 14:5 and the concept that you are not you, but you are a team of you and God. It continues with Galatians 2:20 and the… Continue reading Life Master 23: Patterns, Chapters, and … The End

So this is my 100th post on this new blog site and I feel pretty good about it. I am starting a new series and have a plan that will keep me lined up. Hope it is doing someone some good besides me.

The ninth pattern is Practice the Power of Plodding and chapter 23 is Don’t Despise the Day of Small Things. It starts with the story behind a quote “A small daily task, if it be really daily….” and now my life is fixed. Not really, but if I could do the things I want to… Continue reading Life Master 22: Patterns, Chapters, and … Plodding Along

Job 3:9 May its twilight stars remain dark, May it hope for day light in vain, May it not see the glimmer of dawn. My mind tends to prefer things in balance. One on the right side, one on the left. Seven verses about day and night. One about both and three each, right? Not… Continue reading Job 27: Study 18: 3:9 – Night without, or with, Hope

1 Peter 1:17-21 Revised Standard Version 17 And if you invoke as Father him who judges each one impartially according to his deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile. 18 You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your fathers, not with perishable things such as silver… Continue reading 1 Peter Lesson 5 – 1:17-21 – Part 2 – In God

Daily Summaries: A new level of randomness: 2 Aldo Nova has a song “Fantasy”. It seems I have an impression that his record company had an issue and Aldo Nova could no longer make money off the original version. No idea if it is true, but I always liked the song. I never seem to… Continue reading Daily Summaries: A new level of randomness: 2: A 1%’er – Spiritually
