We don’t get a newspaper or watch television much. I get my news updates online from a variety of sources. It is difficult to discern what is true these days. Different sources report the same event from a variety of viewpoints, seemingly always with a particular agenda. One thing I have noticed in all theseContinue reading “Discovering Wisdom”

We spent most of the day watching two of our grandsons play sports. Our 15 year old grandson threw the discuss and shot put in his league championship. This is his first year participating in these two disciplines. He was able to make up for his inexperience with innate ability to do pretty well. HoweverContinue reading “Not Perfect Yet”

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”

In the interim we have been going to the library every day to be able to do some basic tasks. I began to understand how important that connection is for us. Of course,Continue reading “Internet Connection”

It’s May 9th and it is snowing outside. That is just not right. Some things should not go together, like May and snow. These unmatchable things seem to violate nature, or at least common sense. 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”
