Mark 2:13-17 – Jesus Calls Levi I have to admit that it is still blowing me away that I never noticed this. I have no idea how many times I have read the gospels and if you count the sermons and discussions about them, one would have thought I would have picked up on such… Continue reading Chillin’ in His Crib

Seriously Man? You Gonna’ Cut My Roof?
Mark 2:1-12 Jesus Heals the Paralytic Let’s set the stage here: Jesus has gone home for the first time since starting his public ministry. As we saw yesterday, despite trying to keep it under wraps for a little while, the cleansed leper has leaked it to the press and now everybody has heard that Jesus is doing… Continue reading Seriously Man? You Gonna’ Cut My Roof?
Ready or Not – Facing the Future
Mark 1:35-45 Healing of the Leper (Not really the point) I mostly read the English Standard Version. Why? Because I like it. I am beginning to appreciate different translations more and more. Many will debate the accuracy of this one, the readability of that one, and the intent of another … blah, blah, blah. It… Continue reading Ready or Not – Facing the Future

Random Post – Defining a Blog
For the past few months I have been doing most of my writing in a facebook with a group of men. I have diligently written nearly every day based on my morning devotional time. My blog entries have been mostly confined to blogs written in honor of family members. Yesterday I noticed that even those… Continue reading Random Post – Defining a Blog
Catching Up – Good News with Mark & Me
I am going to start posting my daily reading and thoughts as a blog entry. I have structured this like I would train for distance running, short hard sprints during the week with long runs on the weekend. I am taking it small bites so don’t be intimidated. Anyone can handle 6 to 10 verses/day.… Continue reading Catching Up – Good News with Mark & Me
30 Years with My Bride – Pearl of Great Price
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.” 30 years ago, when Lynn’s father placed her hand in mine and we began a journey together I had no idea… Continue reading 30 Years with My Bride – Pearl of Great Price
Just a glimpse – Marriage of the Lamb
This is the first of several posts I will be posting today for my bride of 30 years. Fortunately, God likes those odds. We had recently become Christians although we really did not know what that meant. At times, we would actually do everything we could to shipwreck our faith and our marriage, but God… Continue reading Just a glimpse – Marriage of the Lamb

Grafting of the Family Tree _ Michael
I have a backlog of half written blog drafts. So it appears that my blog is going to be confined to paying homage to the one’s most dear to me for a while. As the father of seven wonderful children, obviously I have devoted a great deal of my adult life to cultivating the Farley… Continue reading Grafting of the Family Tree _ Michael
