Bible Study

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always … Continue reading Bible Study →

Fear of God

Duane here has an interesting video on the fear of God: https://youtu.be/OT9FGK4Q6Sg?si=Je5xTmjOZ8p8lgNs This one is a bit longer than typical and brings up something that was on the back of my mind. He makes a pretty good correlation that this should be the fear that you'd disappoint, or offend your father, as opposed to the … Continue reading Fear of God →

Bible Study

I stumbled upon a cool bible study. Somewhere along the line, I got hooked into Dry Creek Wrangler school. Duane there has a great voice, and while working with horses is interesting, he'd do other vidyas where he'd take lessons from riding and apply them to life. Like this: https://youtu.be/7Aqw2NWNWro?si=BlmKWoRSMUH-3KKt He did a couple on … Continue reading Bible Study →

The Burden of Forgiveness

I stumbled on this video the other day: https://youtu.be/mPIsafgjR3o?si=Nm9zgPfsEisTYkpF This is a concept I hadn't thought about. Being Catholic, I was taught (as he points out) that I have to forgive regardless.

Lenten Promises

Ash Wednesday snuck up on me this year. A lot of those I read are posting what they plan on abstaining, and fasting. I think, with me at least, fasting is a no-go. When I do, I find that when I stand my blood pressure plummets and I get light headed. I spent a day … Continue reading Lenten Promises →

Bible Study

What a day! A cold front is coming through here, and it's safe to say that the North Texas summertime furnace has been turned off. It will barely hit 85 today, and it'll be cool tonight. Right now, it's sunny and amazing. Couldn't have happened at a better time for me. The heat, dust, pollution … Continue reading Bible Study →
