Letter to a Prisoner at Christmas
December 13, 2024
Dear Gregory,
I ordered the books you asked for. They should arrive before you get this letter, specifically on Tuesday, December 17th. I love Amazon for making it easy to send items to you. I will also pray for the new warden, as it is...
***Needs some work to clarify and almost removed, but decided to leave on for now. Feel free to look for update. This notice will be gone when updated.

Rigoted still spoke for it. "There will be pests anyway, and having a wall around us will protect what we grow for the food we need."
Deseradar said, "But you are speaking for a wall around our whole settlement with the homes we have now, that still need finishing. It would be much more work...
“For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written,

Are Mars and Venus Really That Different?
Psalm 42:7-8
Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.
By day the LORD directs his love,
at night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my...
Adding this new piece here. The reference is the book of Romans.
----------
I have often said where believers disagree i mainly just see a problem with understanding where each piece fits into the larger picture of Christ.
My belief is that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus and what...
“So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, ‘How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.’ Jesus answered them, ‘I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me, but you do not believe because you are not...
“This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with...
Say What?
Ever talk on the phone only to find that as the battery power gets low, or the further we are from the receiver, static interference makes it difficult to hear what the person on the other end is saying? That can be what our past associations are like. It is as if we each...
Titus 1:1-3 (NKJV--bold is mine)
Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect
and the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness, 2 in hope of eternal life
which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began, 3 but has in due...
Jesus Christ was about ready to be put to death on a cross in order to put our sins to death with him so that, by God-persuaded faith in him, we might die with him to sin and now live to him and to his righteousness in walks of surrender and obedience to him and to his commands. So he was...
Cyber Wars
Of late I have been contemplating the deep-seeded and far-reaching effects of sin. Although it may be more visibly apparent in the outbreaks of plagues, violence, and war, my current distress is fueled from a source closer to home, my online experience. Viruses, Worms...
Sin is nothing more than putting our will ahead of God's will. In doing so we put the focus on self and all of its faces such as self interest, self servitude, selfishness etc. When Eve (and Adam) put their will ahead of the will of God, they committed the original sin. What made it worse was...
“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s...
Knowing God
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. ~John 1:14
Awhile back I watched a movie featuring Helen Hunt, Mathew Broderick, and Colin Firth...
Is Faith Blind?
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. -2 Cor. 3:18
What is faith exactly? In Romans the Apostle Paul elaborates on the topic of faith...
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your flesh
and refreshment to...
