HOUSE OF GOD
“I told you that was a bad idea, Mom.” Rebekah shook her head. “No, God told me you would be first before you were born. This is still working out just fine.

Okay, I Admit it. I’m OCD.
July plus Texas equals HOT! It’s a simple equation every Texan lives with. My Michigan bones still have enough permafrost in them that I appreciate the heat when I first go into it.

A PLEA AND A PROBE
Isaac walked to his rock overlooking the valley he called home. He didn’t come to try to count the herds of sheep or goats. The cattle were of no interest today, neither. Instead of sitting on the rock to study his surroundings he fell to his knees and placed his forehead against the stone. His… Continue reading A PLEA AND A PROBE
What Must They Have Thought
The Pharisees didn’t get Jesus at all. That didn’t stop Jesus from ruffling their feathers any chance He got. The thirteenth chapter of Matthew’s gospel begins a litany of stories Jesus told to anybody who listened to Him. The prophets said He would do that so some eyes wouldn’t see what He was talking about,… Continue reading What Must They Have Thought
