The Fast Fast! (pt 1)

Allow me to talk about a different kind of fasting, which I did several Morning Thoughts ago.
There is a young lady that I have known since she was 5 years old. She is like a member of my family. Her name is Courtney. Continue reading
If it’s called a Fast, why is it so slow? (Pt 2)
When you fast, don’t make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get. But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face.

FaceTime with God
I have a daughter that lives just north of Dallas. She is married and has a son, Barrett. We call him Bear.
I am thankful they do not live in California or New York, where it would take an airliner to get us there and those visits would be few and very far between.
And still it is difficult to make the 4-hour trip very often. Continue reading
Happy Birthday, Lindz!
Linda and Lindsey in January 1983
We love Him because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19
Last night, while lying in bed, Linda and I began discussing the events of 30 years ago.
It was 1983 and about 2 o’clock in the morning she began to have some abdominal pains. They were intense enough to warrant waking me up. Continue reading
