Back home from PHX after a weekend of enjoying Nate. Got home at 5 PM.
I love writing for Our Daily Bread. I confess, however, that sometimes I whine to my friends about how difficult it is to communicate everything I would like to say in a short devotional. If only I could use more than 220 words.
This year when I came to the book of Matthew in my Bible-reading schedule, I noticed something for the first time. As I was reading about the temptation of Christ (Matt. 4:1-11), I noticed how short it was. Matthew used fewer than 250 words to write his account of one of the most pivotal events in all of Scripture. Then I thought of other short yet powerful passages: the 23rd Psalm (117 words) and the Lord’s prayer in Matthew 6:9-13 (66 words).
Clearly, I don’t need more words, I just need to use them well. This also applies to other areas of life—time, money, space. Scripture affirms that God meets the needs of those who seek His kingdom and His righteousness (Matt. 6:33). The psalmist David encourages us, “Those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing” (Ps. 34:10).
If today you’re thinking, “I need just a little bit more” of something, consider instead the possibility that God has given you “just enough.”
Read: Matthew 6:25-34

That was a good Superbowl. Didn't care for the half-time show.
Favorite commercial this year for me was Doritos.
(and I didn't see them listed in the "so-called" news clips, even FOXNews)
Of course the M&M's are usually good as well as the Clydesdale.
The worse...GoDaddy.com...
close up, lingering kiss...supermodel Bar Refaeli and guy wearing glasses.
BIG DOUBLE YUCK!
Many others were kind of lame, IMO.
Guess I'd better make my rounds while it's still quiet.
But please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
No need to fret...you know I'll be back!
The FR Canteen is

There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
