Man! 2023 just zipped by, didn’t it? Now 2024 is here. As I look back over the past year, I am amazed at all that I have accomplished and experienced. The most amazing thing is this blog. I never dreamed that I would be doing anything like this. But God did. And He brought me to it and has guided me all the way. As I have shared, I find that I have learned as I have shared. I have shared things that I wonder where that came from. I can only say that it comes from God. I see times that I have been hindered along the way by illness, computer problems and monetary issues too. But God has moved and has healed, fixed and provided all that I needed. I have found myself reaching out to people in the grocery store, the ER waiting room and other odd places to reach out and pray for them.

OOPS! I DID IT AGAIN
Abraham moved from the mountains overlooking the destroyed cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, staying for a time in different places. Then, he pitched his tents in Gerar, the land of the Philistines. Word got around about the beautiful woman in Abraham’s company and the king asked about her. Obviously, Abraham forgot what he learned in Egypt, and he lied again about Sarah’s relationship to himself. And Sarah was taken, again, into the harem of a king.
Why Believe in God
The fact is, God is a real person. He knows each one of us from the spark of our conception to the death of the very last cell of our bodies. God created us. He loves us. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to us, when we were lost in sin to redeem us. God IS in the past. God IS in the future. God IS in the future. Note that all those verbs are present tense. God IS. God sent Jesus to defeat death for us. That death gave us the opportunity to be forgiven of our sins and to be made righteous for Jesus’ sake. God is a gentleman. He will not impose Himself upon us. He romances us to draw us to Him. The Bible is His love letter to us.
GONNA BUILD A BOAT IN THE SAND
There he was. Noah, follower of God. I don’t think it took God too long to find him. He was a light in a world full of darkness. His immediate family followed God as Noah did. God told him what He was going to do and that He would save him and his wife, his sons and their wives. So, there were going to be only 4 men and 4 women, chosen by God to save the human race. Eight people!
