Call of Duty
On December 7th 1941, a day that lives in infamy, when the Empire of Japan bombed the US Navy fleet at Pearl Harbor. There was no need for the US to employ a draft. Many men heard the call of duty to lay down their lives for the country in which they lived. Today, theContinue reading “Call of Duty”
Guided By Light, Not By Might
Psalm 32:8-11 Part 3/3 Have you ever been in a place where you couldn’t really talk, and someone, maybe your mom wanted to tell you something but couldn’t.

Poetry ~ Amy Carmichael; In Any House

Lack of Vision
A few nights ago, I was taking the pig slop out to our pigs, and there was very little natural light from a waning crescent moon that hadn’t begun to peek over the tree line surrounding us. I should also note that I had been doing some construction around the house (as I am oftenContinue reading “Lack of Vision”
A Little Neglect
A well maintained park is something to enjoy. I picture in my mine a lawn with fully seeded and nicely cut grass, large shade trees, beautiful flowers, and aesthetically pleasing landscape; maybe a pond, or creek, or fountain near by. There is a lot of work that goes into keeping that piece of ground lookingContinue reading “A Little Neglect”
All We Like Sheep…
The sad reality captured in the words to that great hymn by Robert Robinson, written almost 300 years ago still ring true of us today: Prone to wander, Lord I feel it;Prone to leave the God I love. Here’s my heart, oh take and seal it;Seal it for Thy courts above. The Word of GodContinue reading “All We Like Sheep…”
