    Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. Matthew 5:7 Blessed (loved and favored by God) are the merciful (not those who only express acts of mercy but those who do so as an expression of  God's character) for they will obtain mercy (receive God's graciousness when He frees them from deserved punishment).

    Note: Usually, my posts reflect my passion: to bring God's Word off of the page and into our daily lives. To discover how to live it, to be encouraged by it, and how to make it real and alive.

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

  • Do You Need God’s Restoring Rain?

            Let my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, as raindrops on the tender herb, as shower on the grass. Deuteronomy 32: 2   For several years, the land in west Texas has been parched. We prayed, even begged for rain.   The past few weeks, God’s blessed us – and the transformation has been remarkable.   Overnight, the bare, dusty fields exploded in green of every… Read More
