I go for an extended walk most every morning. I do this in the early morning, often before the sun comes up. So it is dark and I have to watch my steps. I don’t know about your neighborhood, but the sidewalks around here are uneven at best. In my old neighborhood I tripped onContinue reading “What Are You Looking At?”

Throughout my life I have not been good at receiving discipline. When those in authority find it necessary to discuss my shortcomings, I immediately put up a wall. Oh I listen respectfully, but my heart and mind are raising all kinds of excuses. After a period of calming down, I can usually see the meritsContinue reading “A Good Talking To”

As I was walking this morning, I watched a duck swimming in the canal. It wasn’t moving fast, but still created a wake in the water. The wake started in a point directly behind the duck and spread out in a v-shape. I doubt very much that the duck understood its impact upon the water.Continue reading “Creating a Wake”

We all understand the theory of unmatchable things when it comes to food. I wouldn’t put ice cream on topContinue reading “Some Things Don’t Go Together”

To end the week of discussion regarding the uniqueness of God, it is appropriate that we talk about the holiness of God. Holy means separated or completely distinct from the creation. God alone is always Holy. Revelation 15:4 says, “Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are Holy. AllContinue reading “Unstained”

Another blessing that God offers His children is secure protection from evil. So I continue the series on God alone is… by discussing the protection of God. God alone is my shield. Psalm 28:7 “The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped.” God alone is myContinue reading “Secure Protection”

Today I continue the series entitled God alone is… I will focus on God’s goodness in this fourth title in the series. God alone is good all the time God alone is good to all people God alone brings His goodness to follow me all the days of my life God alone works all thingsContinue reading “Goodness”

Again, I am continuing the series entitled God alone is… Today I will focus on God’s love. While I cannot possibly do this topic justice, I do have a few thoughts that God has given me lately. God alone loved me before the foundation of the world God alone loves me with an abundant loveContinue reading “Abundant Love”
