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
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

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.

Out of the Baggage Compartment
We can all picture that child embarrassed by unwanted attention, “Don’t you have the most beautiful hair? … sweetest smile? … darling dimples … and worst of all the cutest chubby cheeks” As we get older and “mature” we come to understand that hiding behind our hands or behind our parents is just silly and… Continue reading Out of the Baggage Compartment
