Monday Morning Blog ... on Tuesday!

I missed MMB this week. I admit I am a bit out of sorts due to becoming very tired. But tiredness is no excuse for RESTFULNESS IN JESUS. I am reminded of that Psalm passage, "Be still and know that I am God". Often I hear my best friend and wife of my youth playing a YouTube version of this hymn. It inspires me and motivates me to take my moment of rest by being still in His presence. Amazingly, I am revitalized. I am renewed. I am ready. So even though a day late, the blog is here!

We were treated to an interesting Sunday with our yearly trip to the Beach being postponed but some still being there and some being at AGF! I am just glad our God is everywhere present. He is where you are! So please remember, dear reader, you can rest in Him at any time because his open arms are always there.

At BHFs (VBS Big Heart Farms) we reviewed the Fruit of the Spirit, and this past Sunday morning we looked again briefly at what character God's Spirit motivates in us as His Fruit becoming our Fruit of Righteousness: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness, Faithfulness and Self-Control. Allow the Spirit to MARK YOU FRUITFUL TODAY!

Comments are always encouraged and God's love abounds to and through us. Be back Monday!

Monday Morning Blog 4-4-2011

Woke to a cool dry morning and drove family to destinations, visited with a neighbor then Kathy and I got ready to drive to Bristol for her ladies gathering at AGF at 10am. As we went outdoors the cool dry morning was now changed to a snowy, windy colder late morning. It's nearly noon now and the snow seemingly is ready to turn to rain. I am reminded that we are in Northern New England. Weather we can't control, mind input we can. As I write, I am at a public diner where I had a nice breakfast and I'm still sipping coffee. There is activity all over the place here. People coming and going, oldies playing on the radio, phones ringing and even a bit ago some of the staff were chasing a loose dog around (who was finally lured into the office by the owner!). In similiar situations like this, I recall times when people and conversations I heard could cause my mind to wander ... drift toward unhealthy thinking for a Christ-follower. Paul exhorted the Philippian believers to ...

MMB Monday Morning Blog 8-26-24 Seasons

There are four season in the year. In Florida, where I currently live, the season are here too but not like in New Hampshire where I'm from. Florida has HEAT. I remember visiting my parents back in the 90s at their winter home in Wachula around Thanksgiving. We already had snow before our drive south. As we hit Virginia and North Carolina it was apparent we were no longer in the frozen tundra. My parent's mobile home had two bedrooms. It wasn't big enough for us and our two sons. They did, however, have a pop-up trailer under the carport, so it was fine. To stay in a pop-up in Northern New England in late November mas near impossible. You would begin to shiver in about 5 minutes. Nights would reach a low of 0°-20°F. But not so in Florida. After a great Thanksgiving feast we went shopping at the local Walmart. They no longer stay open on Thanksgiving. As I walked into the store I was hit with culture shock. The store was in festive colors and lighting for Christmas but one t...

He Who Has An Ear -- MMB 10-21-24

Those words in the title come from Revelation 2 and 3 as John writes Jesus' words to the seven churches. Except for a very few, most of us have two ears. Jesus simply says, "he who has an ear let him hear...". Sadly, at times we shut out hearing the Lord, or tune in to things other than the Lord, or even replace hearing Him with hearing our enemy.  Psalm 112:7-9 NLT: "They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them" "They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly" "Their good deeds will be remembered forever" "They will have influence and honor"   Psalm 112 illustrates what our ears need to hear from the Almighty. First, confidently trust the Lord. That means without waivering. He cares for us so why seek anything else? Just throw yourself in His care alone. Second, confidently and fearlessly remain in Him. We can have triumph over foes. Third, do good. Good deeds mark the person wal...
