Wait Til You Hear This!
A young neighbor likes to visit. English is her second language but she’s getting really good with it. So good, that she engages in two practices that grieve God and which I need to bring to her attention, now that she’s older (10) and I’m sure she can comprehend what I tell her. What are these practices? Gossip and Slander, especially the Backbiting version, where whomever is … [Read more...] about Wait Til You Hear This!
If It Looks, Walks, Quacks Like A Duck …
Dr. Michael Heiser said if something in the Bible is weird, that means it’s important. The truth is far more intricate and involved than we realize, even though God tells us this in His Word. Such scriptures don’t register for many of us. We treat them the same as we treat long foreign names in books and articles: We surf over them.

I Got Nuthin!
I cannot pull an article together this month: I got nuthin’. Actually, the real problem is that I HAVE TOO MUCH I want to say, but it’s “unripe fruit on the vine.” Unripened fruit isn’t as pretty. It’s flavor isn’t as fully developed. It can give sour stomach, or worse, to someone who ingests it. My dad once planted one of those grafted trees. You know what I refer to: … [Read more...] about I Got Nuthin!
On My Mind And Heart As 2024 Wraps Up
FIRST: CHRISTIAN CONFUSION Christian Confusion is like this for me (true story): Online are two reputable women. One is a dentist, with a proven record and perfect teeth and gums, who says significant to dental health is to drink liquids solely at mealtime, never between meals, and not even a swig of water after you brush your teeth before bed—you want that healthy … [Read more...] about On My Mind And Heart As 2024 Wraps Up
Your Health Is Not Our Business
Q: Which do you want first, the good news or the bad? A: I’ll give you the bad news first then the good, along with hope through real evidence you might have imagined as not feasible or possible. I’ve switched gears, in part, this month – because of something I saw and how it relates to what I’m learning about lately. It started when I saw a construction fence … [Read more...] about Your Health Is Not Our Business
