Monday Morning Blog ... MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK!!!

Happily, I have no Monday Morning Quarterback comments. The team I've followed since they wore red and white uniforms with a small minute man in a hiking position on their helmets just won their 5th Super Bowl title. And they did it breaking records again. The greatest comeback being down over 20 points ... the only overtime Super Bowl game ... they never led in the game until they won in the overtime touchdown ... and the unanswered points came mostly in the final quarter and few minutes in overtime. 

I am a New Englander living in Florida. For most of my life, I lived in New Hampshire, along with about 2 years in Vermont and 7 years in Maine. Admittedly, I spent 2 summers in the Adirondacks in NY as a kitchen worker in a camp as well as 5 years in the DC area in college. Oh, I also was born and got married in Massachusetts. My roots are in New England. In the sports world, I've been a Boston teams fan. I've seen the Red Sox play a number of times and the Celtics at least twice. Even though I never seen a hockey or football game live, I am a Bruin and Pats fan. Especially the Patriots. If I miss watching a game, I miss alot. So this ninth Super Bowl appearance by my team was exciting. I was there for the first against the Bears in 1986 ... the biggest blowout in NFL Super Bowl history was leveled against my team by the boys of the "Super Bowl Shuffle" fame! It was ugly. Much like the first half of their 9th Super Bowl game! 

 So Super Bowl LI is in the history book. History was indeed made. Winningest Coach/QB combo ever. And neither seem they are choosing to leave the game. Now the Boston Duck Boat Parade for the Super Bowl winners tomorrow at 11am.

 Next time I may share some thoughts on Fasting and Prayer.

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...

Blessed ... Psalm 33

"Blessed is the nation who's God is the Lord." Psalm 33:12 ESV Post election comments for the Church of Jesus Christ. This is not a political statement. This is not a pro-candidate writing. This is not to be seen other than a word to the Body of Christ. Politics divide. The Holy Spirit unites. Politics are extreme. The Lord is loving to all. Politics have agendas. The Heavenly Father has a perfect will. Politics will use hate speech. God speaks with mercy and grace. Politics lifts up personalities. Christ is the one who must be lifted up. This past season of politics in America ended today. Oh, there are a few races left to be determined but your mail box and streets should finally become free from political litter (I call it). What we witnessed was some of the worst politics have to offer. Accusations. Melays. Hate Speech. Blatant made up lies and mistruths. Politics bring out the worst in people. It is clear that the god of this cosmos (devil) goes full force to bring f...
