All is good and I'm trying to unwind now.

No...it’s just me and Linda. The deal fell through. Which is probably for the best. LOL. Linda and I have become pretty set in our ways.

still here on Maui and enjoying the beauty of this island. Don’t write a lot lately but still do now and then. Always lurking here though. I’ve really got into making my native American and Hawaiian art objects in the last few years. Getting too old for much carpentry and depending more on my artistic talent to get by. aloha

[luvie]

I’m a little tired. I hate to admit it, but I might just go to bed a bit early tonight! (no one faint! :) )

[oldteen]

You know I don’t watch DWTS but that was actually worth watching. Thanks! :)

[oldteen]

Author C. S. Lewis says that reli- gious concepts are like soups—some are thick and some are clear. There are indeed “thick” concepts in the Bible: mysteries, subtleties, and complexities that challenge the most accomplished mind. For example, “[God] has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens” (Rom. 9:18). And yet, in the same volume there are thoughts that are crystal “clear”: simple, attainable, and easily grasped. What could ever surpass the simplicity of the clear affirmation in 1 John 4:16, “God is love”?

John Cameron, a 15th-century writer, suggests, “In the same meadow, the ox may lick up grass, . . . the bird may pick up seeds, . . . and a man finds a pearl; so in one and the same Scripture are varieties to be found for all sorts of conditions. In them, the lamb may wade, and the elephant swim, children may be fed with milk, and meat may be had for stronger men.”

All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are found in God’s Book, the Bible—ocean depths that can stir the most sophisticated mind, and shallow areas that can be negotiated by any simple, honest soul.

Why hesitate? “All Scripture . . . is profitable” (2 Tim. 3:16). Jump in!

Thy Word is like a deep, deep mine,
And jewels rich and rare
Are hidden in its mighty depths
For every searcher there. —Hodder

God speaks through His Word—take time to listen.

Read: 2 Timothy 3:13-17

All Scripture . . . is profitable. —2 Timothy 3:16

Bible in a year:
Jeremiah 32-33; Hebrews 1
