Did you ever read a passage of scripture and get one impression only to read it at a later date and see something completely different? Since the Word doesn' t change it is our position relative to the Word that changes. This winter I spent 36 days in hospitals, came home for 19 days and sit here today on day 14 of my second round in hsopitals.
I was amazed by God's presence in my journey the first time. What he taught me, what I could share with others, and how other believers came to be known along the way. The fellowship was magical and the edification was mutual. I really connected with Christ and his sufferings during the crucifixion and shared these thoughts with all who came calling on me.
This second journey seems much different. I have a deeper appreciation of Paul's time in prisions. This blog will serve as my way of communicating to those who read it as Paul communicated to the various New Testament churches.
I trust and pray you will find this blog worthy of your time and challenge you to dive into our Father's Word and hear His message for you.
God Bless!

ReplyDeleteHi Bob: I just got to reading this, and I have to say thank you to the person who challenged you to blog like this. Besides being an outlet for you, I'm sure it will be a big blessing for those who read it. We were gone fairly late last night visiting a friend whose health has been deteriorating for years, and the doctors were blaming it on his diabetes, but knew there was more than that wrong with him. Finally, after many, many tests, two neurologists have confirmed it as ALS. He is just like you, a real testament of one whose faith and hope is in the Lord.
ReplyDeleteWe love you, Bob, and will see you soon. Love, Sharon
