A happy and delightful weekend to you!

[ConorMacNessa]

Thank you so much, ML! I hope you have a great weekend as well.

We're having a good weekend, but it's tinged with sadness. My daughter Mary leaves tomorrow morning for her next job - working at a group home run by L'Arche in Spokane, Washington. She won't be home until Christmas.

Aw...so sorry your daughter will be moving away, but it sounds like she will be doing a wonderful thing helping people in need. You must be so proud of her!

[ConorMacNessa]

We are, indeed, ML! As you probably know, she served in Kenya for 6 months and has only been home for two months. She is well suited by temperament for this type of work, although it is totally outside her field of study in school - International Relations.

Spokane is probably a wee bit safer than Kenya.

I’ll bet you are relieved she is back in the USA.

Spokane is my hometown. Have lots of friends and family there. I’d be honored to provide some friends and family for your daughter.

Thanks MEG.

Initial Point
September 30, 2012

If you drive south of our home in Boise, Idaho, you’ll see a volcanic butte that rises out of the sagebrush on the east side of the road. This is the initial point from which the state of Idaho was surveyed.

In 1867, four years after Idaho was organized as a territory, Lafayette Cartee, the Surveyor General of the United States, commissioned Peter Bell to survey the new territory. Bell took a sledge and drove a brass post into a little knob on the summit of that butte, declaring it to be the initial point from which he began his survey.

The survey established the language of land description in Idaho: Townships are designated north and south of the initial point; ranges are designated east and west. With such descriptions, you always know exactly where you are.

We may read many books, but the Word of God is our “initial point,” the fixed reference point. John Wesley read widely, but he always referred to himself as “a man of one book.” Nothing can compare to the Book of books, the Word of God. When we allow the Bible to be our guide in all of life, we can say with the psalmist, “How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” (Ps. 119:103).

Dear Lord, we are grateful for Your Book. In it
we learn of You and find guidance and direction
for our lives. Help us to learn to love Your Word
and to eagerly dig into its pages. Amen.

The Bible is like a compass: if followed, you’re going in the right direction.

Read: Psalm 119:97-104

It is written, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” —Matthew 4:4

Bible in a Year:
Amos 7-9
