    And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8  When Ruby and I were walking in the park the other day, I spotted this determined little flower blooming in the middle of a patch of dirt and rocks. Now that's determination, focus, and faith! Three things I sometimes lack. I know… Read More

    Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace. Hebrew 4:16a (NKJV) He just sat there, staring at me! After all, I was invading his territory.  You see, I went for a walk in a small park near my home. (I’d call it exercise but strolling along at a snail’s pace doesn't quite qualify.) As I wandered along, I saw a squirrel sitting about three feet off the path, carefully examining a pecan. He stood up straight, stared at me intently, and tightly… Read More

God delivered them from slavery in Egypt and they saw Him perform miracle after miracle. But, when it came time to eat one evening, they started complaining again. "We wish you'd just left us back there in Egypt. We were… Read More

      For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9   You young’uns might not remember this song.   Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin.   From way back in 1971   I thought of this song when I saw these stairs in Grand Central Station in Washington D.C.    "There’s a… Read More

  • I Only Did It ONCE!

    The guy who mows our walking park must be on vacation. He hasn't mowed for a couple weeks. If he sees all these weeds, he might say, "Look at that! It's impossible!" Isn't it amazing how fast things get out of sorts? How about that diet? "Well, I blew it last night. surely another day won't hurt." Second day, "Oh, what's the use! I'll feel better after some brownies." Cleaning house? Why dust the coffee… Read More
