Good evening, Deo....((HUGS))

I don’t know how my week is going to go.....I have to call in each night to see if I have to report downtown for jury duty. It’s a short week at work, so I’m hoping to not be called at least for Tuesday and Wednesday. If I get called for Wednesday, Tuesday night will be very long.

How about you? What kind of week do you have coming up?

Evening Ma and in late!

Zach and I went to a cool classic car show this afternoon; 1930's stuff to the 50's-60's-70's muscle-cars, what beautiful machines!

More baseball tomorrow.

How's your weekend going?!

[Kathy in Alaska]

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you, philly.

Do you have 4th of July plans? A parade?

[Kathy in Alaska]

It’s going well....I don’t have to work! d:o) And it rained, hard at times, most all night. Very nice!

Used the morning on parental issues/problems and things they’d saved for me. A bunch of things done. All good now.

Sounds like you and Zach have had a very rewarding day...and more to come.

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Open Wide!
July 3, 2011

Early in the spring, my wife and I watched a fascinating bird show outside our kitchen window. A couple of blackbirds with straw in their beaks entered a small vent in the house next door. A couple of weeks later, to our delight, we saw four baby birds stick their heads out of the vent. Mom and Dad took turns feeding their hungry babies.

Seeing the babies’ wide-open mouths reminded me of how important it is for followers of Christ to eagerly desire spiritual food. In 1 Peter 2:2, the apostle Peter uses the analogy of babies longing to be fed: “As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby.” The Greek word translated “desire” speaks of an intense yearning. It is a compound word meaning to “earnestly desire” or to “long after.”

It might seem strange to be commanded to earnestly long for something. But unlike hungry birds and babies, we need to be reminded of our need for spiritual nourishment. Even though we may have fed on the Word in the past (v.3), we need to realize that our need is ongoing and that without more nourishment we will grow spiritually weak. God is eager to feed His dear children. So, open wide!

My hunger for the truth He satisfies;
Upon the Word, the Living Bread, I feed:
No parching thirst I know, because His grace,
A pool of endless depth, supplies my need. —Sanders

Neglecting the Word will famish your soul;
meditating on the Word will feed it.

Read: 1 Peter 2:1-5

As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby. —1 Peter 2:2

Bible in a year:
Job 25-27; Acts 12

"Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." -from THE BIBLE: II Corinthians 3:17-18

Let's Read The Bible: II Corinthians Chapter 3 (Read More...)
