Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” (John 1:38) Teachers.

Just when I get all introspective and think that I’m going through this life thing on my own, God reminds me of some crucial people in my circle of influence without whom I wouldn’t even be in the privileged position of being able to mope around being all introspective.

Read More Jesus Is … A HealerLast night I was watching Family Fortunes. As I’ve said before FF was at its best when Bob Monkhouse was the host and the ones I recorded were in the days after Bob when Les Dennis hosted the show.

Read More Something To Boast InBehold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice. Each will be like a hiding place from the wind, a shelter from the storm, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a weary land. (Isaiah 32:1, 2) Simon Peter replied, “You are […]
