This first video is worth ten thousand words, so I’ll simply say that the younger sister’s expressions come as close to Christlike love our Lord so deeply displayed on that very first Christmas when He willingly left the comforts of Heaven for our salvation’s sake and came to Earth as a baby boy birthed by […]
Part 2 of the previous post, as promised… and now, the how… Everyone loves to win. But exactly how does one do so, especially spiritually, since that so outweighs sports and even life itself? In this particular post I’ll provide three truths, three answers, three solutions, three steps. The first step is so simple and […]
When the word “winner” winds its way to my ears, the first image that comes to mind is the Lord Jesus and the second image is the Apostle Paul and several other people from Bible times and the third image is a particularly prominent, pure-preaching, power-pulsating pastor of the prototypical properly-run church in my humble […]
NOTE: This is the finale of a five-post series so if you’re currently reading this blog top-down (most recent first, i.e., counter-chronologically) these five will make more sense if you scroll down (four) to the “Born Again…” post then read bottom-up to this one (i.e., in chronological order). (This very rarely comes into play, only […]
Continuing on from the previous post with the next thought that hit me while on my many-mile mega-walk today… As mentioned many times in the past, there are several different walking routes in my local area that I thoroughly enjoy, but my favorite by far (as you could surely tell by the past few posts) […]
Wars. And rumors of war. Even here in America, an abundance of crime and dearth of law and order. Open border. Bungled budget beckons bankruptcy. Uncivil society. At least that applies to the loudest ones among us; I’m certain that the (vast) majority of the citizenry are good and decent in their conduct toward others […]
It’s not every day that someone sees one hearse much less three like I did today. But it makes perfect sense in this case because of where I was. Arlington National Cemetery. The sight of three hearses lined up in a queue then pulling into that hallowed cul-de-sac back-to-back-to-back, it packed a punch and evoked […]
I’m thankful that I was able to muster sufficient time to take one of my many-mile mega-walks today. As mentioned several times in the past, other than the time spent “hunkered down” in my daily Bible memory sessions, these walks are probably my most prized and precious pastime or activity of any kind. Because (very […]
The song at the end of the previous post starts with a solemn question to the Lord: ”Where would I be without You?” That’s one question to which I definitely know the answer! Nowhere. At all. I often think “What in the world would I do without the Lord living within me?” How could I […]
When I was a mere child in elementary school, there was a common saying when we really liked something: ”I love it to death!” Pizza? ”I love it to death!” Popcorn? ”I love it to death!” Ice cream? ”I love it to death!” Watermelon? ”I love it to death!” The Huffy bicycle my parents gifted […]
