I couple of random thoughts: 1. I loved it how, yesterday, when John called to set up an appointment for Gavin to meet with Pastor Steve, the lady was so matter of fact and said (regarding his lack of speech), “Well, we can take care of that!” She put him on the prayer list and…

Loving the Law
Psalm 119:165 Those who love Your law have great peace, And nothing causes them to stumble. Obedience to His law causes peace. Knowing His law keeps me from messing up. It’s like knowing the speed limit on a street. If I know it, I’m less likely to go too fast and get a speeding ticket. Sure,…
Encouraging Words
With all the insanity going on recently, I received some encouragement from some friends. I post it here so that I remember it. “When I put my whole life in His hands, I do not erase the possibility of doubt. I simply refuse to accept it as real.” (Skip Moen) I love this! It’s like…
Free
Psalm 119:32 (NIV) I run in the path of your commands for you have set my heart free. I think the tendency is to think of commands (laws) as binding and restrictive, but they are meant to give freedom. When the boundaries are well defined I can run freely within then, and I am not…
Blessings
Numbers 6:24-26 The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; The LORD lift His countenance upon you, And give you peace. This is the blessing that Aaron was to give the children of Israel (which, if you accept and obey Yeshua you are…
Sacrifice
Leviticus 3:-7 LOTS of sacrifices. Wow! The priests were busy! There are an awful lot of sacrifices that were to be made. Although, they often pertain to different classes of people, so it may not have been that many to remember. Most though do focus on unintentional sins. Only one is for an unintentional sin…
Not Shaken, Not Stirred
Psalm 16:8 I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. I feel pretty shaky a lot these days. Between proposed education bills that would base my livelihood on the motivation that my students have to strive to do better and congress pushing huge bills…
The Prince of Peace
In the spirit of Christmas, here’s the post I originally was going to link you to. It’s about the names of Yeshua, our Prince of Peace, our Mighty GOD, or Everlasting and loving Father. It’s awesome! The Prince of Peace by Skip Moen
Hope
Matthew 12:21 And his name will be the hope of all the world. This is actually Jesus quoting from Isaiah (42:1-4) regarding a prophecy made about him. I thought it was fitting because during this time of year (Christmas) the name of Jesus is heard more often (since that’s the real reason we celebrate). His…
Rest
Matthew 11:28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. How beautiful are these words! There are days when I am so tired that I’m not really sure how I’m awake. There are times when the budget isn’t working, the bank…
