Cole is at his dad's, Vini's watching soccer. I am listening to old Imperials, Andrae Crouch and Blackwood Brothers performances from the 60s and 70s, singing at the top of my lungs. Russ Taff - so good to hear him again! And find me another bass like Big John Hall! Here he is, still a baby with the Blackwood Brothers, in the (admittedly cheesy) 1966 film "Sing a Song for Heaven's Sake". Wait for his solo.

Genesis 22:1-2 – Some time later God tested Abraham

Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.” – Genesis 22:1-2

To offer a child in human sacrifice may seem incredibly barbaric, but God was speaking to Abraham in the language of his day....

Do Not Forget

"Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: 'I will sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted. The horse and its rider he has hurled into the sea. The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.'"
--Exodus 15:1-2

What a song of praise! The entire chapter of Exodus 15 is a glorious praise song to the Lord after He opened a path...

Someone I have not had any dealings with for more than two years thinks that something I posted was about her and has the gall to post something in my blog. I mean gees, if the shoe fits wear it, however, I do know a lot of people besides YOU. YOU are no longer in my life nor will you ever again be in my life.

I stopped dealing with you because the feeling I got from you was that my children were not good enough to play with your children. Over the years, you often posted how you...

Dear Alexandra,

Exchange the Meaning

"Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground.' Moses said to Joshua, 'Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands."
--Exodus 14:15-16; 17:9

When God parted the Red...

I ran into another friend last night at scrapbooking, I hadn't been able to go for a few months, who knows both B and K a little better than I do.

Turns out she (P) had a similar experience with K too. K was pushing her to leave her not so "perfect" husband too. But when she told K to back off, K dropped her as a friend. Stopped returning her phone calls. Told other friends that they knew (people that I didn't know), that P's husband was sleeping with another woman....

Deuteronomy 17:18-20 – he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the LORD his God

When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the priests, who are Levites. It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the LORD his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees and not consider himself better than his brothers...

Ephesians 2:10 – For we are God’s workmanship

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. – Ephesians 2:10

You and I were created by God in a very unique way. The Greek word for workmanship is poema, or poem. Like a poem, God made us with a beauty and complexity that is not captured in the first pass. On top of that, the depth of who we are is custom designed for events that God has prepared for...
