Song & Verse: Loyal & Come Alive (Dry Bones) by Lauren Daigle

A word in season One of my early pastors used to say a lot about receiving a word in season. I can’t remember his exact quote, but the gist was that receiving a word for the season you’re in is invaluable and should be heeded. This morning I went to YouTube with the intent ofContinueContinue reading “Song & Verse: Loyal & Come Alive (Dry Bones) by Lauren Daigle”

Thoughts on Granddaddy’s death

It is only when we are confronted with loss that we truly appreciate what we’ve gained. Granddaddy closed his eyes at the end of a December and we bid our collective farewell at the beginning of January. It’s a different take on new beginnings. Beginning the year with a burial. Beginning with death and a seed. Beginning with the celebration of a well-lived life.

Devotional: Love and Justice

February 1, 2016 Love and Justice: Hosea 12:1-6 Read The people of Israel feed on the wind; they chase after the east wind all day long. They pile up lies and violence; they are making an alliance with Assyria while sending olive oil to buy support from Egypt. Now the LORD is bringing charges against Judah.ContinueContinue reading “Devotional: Love and Justice”

Film: A Dream for Christmas (1973)

A Dream for Christmas was made in 1973 but is set in 1950. It should be on a classic Christmas movie rotation every year, but it’s not. It’s a really good story about a family working together through change and challenges. It’s a slice of life and a looking glass into an every day poor African-American experience pre-Civil Rights Movement. Very intriguing. Very warm. Very well done.

ACAD – Nations: Genesis 18

ACAD – Nations: Genesis 18
Sarah was listening at the entrance of the tent which was behind him. Abraham and Sarah were very old. Since Sarah was past the age when women normally have children, she laughed to herself, “My husband and I are too old to have a baby.”

Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say, ‘I am too old to have a baby’? Is anything too hard for the Lord? No! I will return to you at the right time a year from now, and Sarah will have a son.” {Click to read full chapter.}

ACAD – Nations: Genesis 17

ACAD – Nations: Genesis 17
“I am God Almighty. Obey me and do what is right. I will make an agreement between us, and I will make you the ancestor of many people.”

Then Abram bowed facedown on the ground. God said to him, “I am making my agreement with you: I will make you the father of many nations. I am changing your name from Abram[a] to Abraham[b] because I am making you a father of many nations. I will give you many descendants. New nations will be born from you, and kings will come from you. And I will make an agreement between me and you and all your descendants from now on: I will be your God and the God of all your descendants.” {Click to read full chapter.}

ACAD – Nations: Psalm 2

The Reign of the Lord’s Anointed Why do the nations rage[a]     and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves,     and the rulers take counsel together,     against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying, “Let us burst their bonds apart     and cast away their cords from us.” He who sits inContinueContinue reading “ACAD – Nations: Psalm 2”

Thoughts On Faith and Prayer: HUMILITY IN PRAYER

“Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.”
