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!

Revelation - A Bible Book Often Avoided

MMB 7-1-2024 I have an app on my phone that reminds me of my daily Scripture reading so I can complete reading the Bible in one year. That completion date for me was yesterday June 30, 2024. The app I use suggests three chapters a day except for Sunday which is five chapter readings. I completed an inspiring read through the Book of Revelation yesterday. Many avoid Revelation because of its many "Sevens" that appear confusing. Seven Angels, Seven Bowls, Seven trumpets, Seven Scrolls ... they're there. Then there are descriptions of certain creatures with multiple heads and faces and horns which can shock anyone. But Revelation mostly explains the confusing terms as you read on. You can't give up. You can't fear the terminology. You can't avoid those unknowns because they are soon revealed.  I've decided to re-read the Book. I've done two years of reading through the Bible and I will take a break from that now. But I won't stop reading Scripture. I ...

On Hold - The Finale

Today is July 20th. August is upon us and so is the 6th month of unemployment. Correct. After many applications and about 6-7 interviews I am still without work. I was interviewed twice (two different companies) in person this week and I'm waiting on their call back. Both indicated there must be a second interview with others involved. The last offering (Part 2) eluded to a humbling lesson learned. When I walked out of my last job on February 7th I made a to-myself-statement. Essentially I said I'll never work for this company again. But that was before my first humble pie piece I had to eat. So I put in applications with the company's other stores close by. Also I used a second email address so I wouldn't be tied to the store I worked at. I must have been hungry because I began to eat another piece of that pie. I finally reapplied at the store I exited 5 months earlier and yes, used my regular email address to do so. The first part of On Hold revealed my money from my ...

MMB 7/29/24 - Callous

Morality in America is going the way of the countries of the world. We've been on this downward slope for a while. It has even sucked into its grasp some believers of the truth of Christ. As a pastor, I began to see this slope toward unrighteousness in the church around 2005. I was in New Hampshire and most people I encountered (including the churched and unchurched) had strong family and character morals. But slowly the demise began. My State at that time was on the lowest tier of the listing of states that had the lowest church attendees. Being a church attender doesn't make you moral. Being a devoted Christ follower in most cases does that. And morality finds itself in various stages.  What people witnessed on the Friday night telecast of the Olympian summer games opening ceremonies had some evidences of this moral decline. Some will see my words as being judgemental. I don't mean to be. I'm just stating what is allowed in 2024 were totally rejected more than 20 year...
