Just a couple of thoughts from the church service today that I wanted to record before I forgot: Believe the truth – I may know the truth, but I don’t always believe it or live it.  My challenge is to believe the truth even if it’s difficult, because if I believe the lie then I…

To Shout an Alarm

Numbers 10:9 “And when you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the Lord your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies…” So, some issues: first there’s a word in the Hebrew version…

The Front and The Rear

John has always been extremely healthy, but this past year…
