Friends

I've heard it said that a best friend is somebody who knows things about you that you don't want anybody else to know about. Then, truly, what a friend we have in Jesus!

Though crooked, bent and beaten down, I draw from the Living Water, and am given strength to continue.

(I have the strong desire to edit this blog for a smoother transition from the first paragraph to the second. I guess that's what makes this blog lifelike. Often in life there is no smooth transition. But I'll save that for another blog.)

Praises

If ever I'm having a spiritual 'dry spell', I have to look no further than my children. Then praises abound. Thank you! Thank you!

Timeless Truths

No further seek the wisdom of today. Seek His face, and the truths that do not pass with the setting sun, but persist 'till the end of our days.

Temple Etiquette

Walking into the presence of God. His Holy place. The local church. I must check my heart. I am not stepping into a classroom or entering some ordinary social gathering. I am entering into his Holy presence, and only worthy to do so by the sacrifice he made. I'm listening.

Be careful what you do when you go to the temple of God;
draw near to listen rather than to offer a sacrifice like fools,
for they do not realize that they are doing wrong.
Do not be rash with your mouth or hasty in your heart to bring up a matter before God,
for God is in heaven and you are on earth!
Therefore, let your words be few.

-- Ecclesiates 5:1-2
