Friday... We have moved from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado...

Friday... We have this month moved from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado to the desert of Nevada. In the mountains of Colorado, you see the rocks, they are right there but here in the desert, you don't see them, but they are also there. Just below the surface there is a sedimentary rock, it is a hardened natural cement of calcium carbonate that binds other materials-such as gravel, sand, clay and silt. It is called caliche.

In Psalm 18:1&2 (NLT) David says, "I love you Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior. The Lord is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety." The story behind this Psalm is that David sang this song to the Lord on the day the Lord rescued him from his enemies and from King Saul who was trying to kill him.

Now you don't really know about caliche until you start digging. You don't really know sometimes that God is your rock until you start digging. This pandemic is one of those times, not having enough money to live on is one of those times, when relationships are falling apart is one of those times, when you can't go to church is one of those times, when you think you may have the virus or someone you love has the virus is one of those times, but God is with you and He wants to be your rock and your protection and strength but you may have to dig through all of the pains and fears and anxieties to find that He is your rock. He is there and He wants to be your rock.

So start digging in His Word, start digging for Him through prayer, start digging by calling upon Him and believing in Him and trusting Him! He wants to be your rock! Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is!

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is! Look at this, Proverbs 5:21-23 (CEV) says, "The Lord sees everything, and he watches us closely. Sinners are trapped and caught by their own evil deeds. They get lost and die because of their foolishness and lack of self-control." That is true of so many. Now look at this, Luke 15:1-7 says, "Tax collectors and sinners were all crowding around to listen to Jesus. So the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses started grumbling, 'This man is friendly with sinners. He even eats with them.' Then Jesus told them this story: If any of you has 100 sheep, and one of them gets lost, what will you do? Won't you leave the 99 in the field and go look for the lost sheep until you find it? And when you find it, you will put it on your shoulder and carry it home. Then you will call in your friends and neighbors and say, 'Let's celebrate! I've found my lost sheep.' Jesus said, 'In the same way there is mo

Tuesday... Let's be smart.

Tuesday... Let's be smart. Proverbs 12:16a (CEV) says, "Losing your temper is foolish." It really is. And it is so hard to take it back. That is not smart. There are always consequence when we lose our temper and they are usually not good. Think of the last time you lost your temper at home, at your kids, at your spouse, at your pets. at your life, at where you live, at where you work. There are always repercussions and they are not good. The New Living Translation says, "A fool is quick-tempered." The Message says, "Fools have short fuses and explode all too quickly." The Amplified Bible says, "The [arrogant] fool's anger is quickly known [because he lacks self-control and common sense]." It just is not a good thing. is it? But then the rest of this verse, this proverb (CEV) says, "ignoring an insult is smart." It really is. I have striven in dealing with people to give them a benefit of doubt. They didn't mean that, they

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word.

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word. It really can be life changing. Look at what Paul writes in his letter to the Ephesians. In 2:1-3 (NLT) he says, "Once you were dead because of your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil - the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else." There it is, there it is. That is the way we are living or have lived. Dead is a definite word of finality. At least the devil thought so and maybe you do too. And then verses 4-5 starts by saying, "But", that beautiful life changing word of opportunity even though we are dead. Yes, we are subject to God's anger, "But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even t
