While Sandy and Luna romp on the floor, Bella sits like a queen above them on the sofa’s arm. She watches them intently as they wrestle, ambush, and play tag. Eventually she leaves her perch to seek a quiet place for a nap. The energetic exertions of the kittens have either bored her or tired […]

So often I come to the weekend without any idea of the subject for my next blog post. But I am learning not to fret. Rather, I remind myself, “Just sit down at the computer and make a beginning. You’ll have it.” So, again this morning, I did just that: sat at the computer, opened […]

Reading through Romans chapter 8 on Saturday morning, I was struck by verses 14 through 16, rendered in the Passion Translation. The mature children of God are those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit. (Is that you?) You did not receive the spirit of religious duty, leading you back into the […]

Once again, I am reading through the New Testament, a chapter a day. Rather than the KJV or the NIV versions, I am using the Passion Translation of 2020. A couple days ago I was struck with verses four and five of Romans chapter 2. As I read and reread them, I visualized them written […]

It’s a sad and sorry fact. Yet, the fact remains. In one way or another, bodies age out. Whether Generation X or Z or Millennial–regardless of your labeled generation, the inevitable will happen to you either directly or indirectly. I’m not merely referring to the infirm and disabled. I’m addressing a multitude of caregivers. Those […]

Tuesday afternoon, June second, Plover, Wisconsin After packing two medium-sized, check-in suitcases, I labor to pack a rather small duffel bag, my carry-on allowance. Three o’clock. Tammy, who will drive me to the airport, waits for me while visiting with Heidi. I wrestle to pack an accessory case, holding jewelry, toiletries, and medications; a zippered bag […]

During my first week in Wisconsin, I toured many small towns on well maintained county roads. I learned their names and numbers from my driver, Heidi. She told me where they led and pointed out significant sites along the way. “County roads are designated with letters. “H” is the one that we are on right […]

The Holy Spirit’s outworking in my life over the last 25 years has been confirmed and encouraged by Brian D. McLaren. Over the last couple of years in a weekly Bible study, his books have been read and discussed. We Make the Road by Walking (2014) and Do I Stay Christian? (2022) serve as a […]

In my last post, I wrote of three different translations of the Bible, each published in a different format for different purposes. Together these different versions serve as an object lesson of Truth Himself, living out His life through His believers regardless of their ethnicity, color, language, customs, financial and social standing, and personal histories.
