“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” James 1:22 NIV God has a plan. He loves us all. His plan is proof… His good and perfect plan! He spells His plan out for us many times over. His messaging is broadcast multiple times throughout Scripture and Nature. Sometimes we miss… Continue reading Audience

Water
I learned a long time ago that water is what causes babies. It explains a lot, because there’s lots of water most places on the planet. Ergo there’s more babies than you can shake a stick at. I think shaking a stick wouldn’t hold up because either the stick would break or else you would… Continue reading Water
Help
A librarian’s life is a humble life and all about helping others. So should ours be. But it seems the Devil is taking over these days. Trying to pummel the humble helpers into the ground. It has always seemed to me that the Devil is in need of restraint. Today’s counter culture activity is just… Continue reading Help
Connections
Just like an electronic circuit board, Ed’s Art Net is full of connections. Lots of links from this to that then back to the other thing. It’s enough to make you dizzy and a qualify as a global health hazard. You may not see how anyone can tolerate so much connectivity for any length of… Continue reading Connections
Death
As far as I know, nothing is as inevitably constant as death. We cannot bank with any assurance on any of “life’s” adventures. Most often we haven’t a clue what’s around the next corner. We frequently wing it when it comes right down to it. Discovery is inspiration for the wandering soul. Not so with… Continue reading Death
The Twig
Is God real? At first, God doesn’t speak or show Himself in a clear and precise way so we have to figure out on our own whether He is real. We figure this out from living and thinking about what it means to be alive. And studying the natural world. If we’re enlighteningly fortunate, we… Continue reading The Twig
God
God wants a personal relationship with each one of us. Private and personal because we each have a unique mind and spirit. But we have the potential to be of the same heart. He created each one of us with a purpose. We learn what that purpose is, usually over some time period. And that… Continue reading God
Guns
Why are some folks empowering criminals? That’s irrational. Criminals are dangerous and destructive. Social misfits. Doesn’t everyone know that? They do evil things to others. Criminals hurt others. Many criminals cannot be rehabilitated and giving them freedom from deterrents gives them more power to do evil. Why do I feel the need to spell out… Continue reading Guns
Crisis
I don’t watch the news much, but I watched a popular news channel show yesterday evening. There were some noticeably disturbing messages. Paraphrasing… ”We are on the verge of global nuclear war. Our USA government is lying to us. Some people believe that cheating and lying is okay. Men are in the process of losing their… Continue reading Crisis
Feeling
I thought I would write about God. I’m always writing about myself, so it’s high time I wrote about someone else. But I have to write about God from my own perspective. So I reckon I can’t get away from that. I have never seen God unless you count what I can see of the… Continue reading Feeling
