A time for many to dress up in costumes resembling all kinds of things that most of us would deem as scary, evil, or wicked.
Children will run in such costumes from house to house begging to get a gift of candy or some other sweet treat. Continue reading

Good Morning!
This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

I got the finger the other day though I don’t think it was intended for me.
As I pulled out on the highway this red Mustang drove by in the other lane.
I noticed up ahead that a Camaro pulled into the path of the Mustang, causing the driver to slow down and then veer into the right lane in front of me. Continue reading

The Lord put Adam to sleep and from his side created woman.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Gen 2:25

It’s the topic of discussion in political circles and on the blogs.

It was an interesting lunch yesterday as we celebrated the birthdays of two of the staff, Vera and Vicki.

Now while Ezra was praying, and while he was confessing, weeping, and bowing down before the house of God, a very large assembly of men, women, and children gathered to him from Israel; for the people wept very bitterly. Ezra 10:1
Sometimes while writing Morning Thoughts, I do it for the sake of writing, out of an obligation that I have for you.
