I really don’t feel like giving thanks. I have been without a call for over 4 months (that’s 120+ days). Now my wife is working and coming home bone tired, not that the work she did before did not wear her out, but it was here and we could help (and every now and thenContinue reading “O give thanks…”

Fruit
“For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and theContinue reading “Fruit”
vengeance upon them
But the LORD is with me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble; they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed. Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten. O LORD of hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance upon them, for to you have I committedContinue reading “vengeance upon them”
Boast in your greatness…
See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.

2 trees or not 2 trees – that is the question
We get so hung up on the fruit and the tree and the serpent being the devil and a bunch of stuff that we learned in Sunday School that simply isn’t in the Bible.
