I’ve never been a supplement kind of guy, opting instead to get my nutrition via a balanced diet, from the food I eat – but even I know that they’re not called “daily vitamins” for nothin’! It’s because for maximum effectiveness they should be consumed daily. And that’s exactly how it is with the Bible, […]
I remember my very first day in high school computer class. The teacher started with an overview, by stating the overarching principle which regulates computers and programming… “Garbage in, garbage out.” He was of course referring to the fact that a computer’s (hardware) or program’s (software) output is only as good as the input. What […]
I walked by the branch of a small local bank the other day and a large sign in the front window said this: Large enough to know how, Small enough to know you. That’s one of the better corporate slogans I’ve seen in a while and it immediately occurred to me, that’s exactly how it […]
As discussed in a past post, a year or two ago I sold my only vehicle so I could finish building this website entirely out of my own pocket when the original programmer bailed unexpectedly and without notice, so out with the car and in with walking and biking literally everywhere I go. It was […]
By experience, not design, this post is a follow-up to the previous one. I made my maiden voyage in the aforementioned new sneakers today (a five-mile walk/jog combo) and OUCH, my feet and legs are KILLING me! Blisters on left and right, feeling a new muscle in my calves I never knew was there… I’m […]
No sooner had I written the previous post that, yep, you guessed it, on the very next walk one of my shoes sprang a leak, developed “a hole in the sole” as that previously-published post put it. So I just bought a new pair. And it hit me that I always have the exact same conundrum […]
I love to exercise. My mind (as you can probably tell right away when viewing the Videos page) and also my body – the temple He has handed out to house His Holy Spirit within me for now. I look forward to those benefit-packed sweat sessions – especially the every-two-or-three-days extended, multi-hour ones – with great anticipation […]
We take air for granted. Or at least before the current pandemic occurred, a bit less so now but still in large part, e.g., when you’re in your home you don’t even think about air, about breathing, you just do it automatically so even now we continue to take air for granted. Why? Because it’s so […]
It’s not how one starts, it’s how one finishes that counts. Just ask ancient Israel, of whom Hebrews 8:9 testifies, “for they did not CONTINUE in My covenant, and I did not care for them, says the Lord.” GREAT start. Leaving behind the bitter, brutal bonds of slavery in Egypt. Being rescued by literally watching the Red […]
God is 100% deserving for 100% of the population to be 100% focused on Him 100% of the time. He literally deserves no less. Yet He doesn’t demand that. In His grace and omniscience He is fully aware that such is impossible in the finite, fallen-flesh “suits” we wear throughout our entire life. The sad […]
