Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

In his very first Little League baseball game, a young player on the team I was coaching got hit in the face with a ball. He was not hurt but was understandably shaken. For the rest of the season, he was afraid of the ball. Game after game, he bravely tried, but he just couldn’t seem to hit the ball.
In our final game, we were hopelessly behind, with nothing to cheer about. Then that young man stepped up to take his turn. Thwack! To everyone’s surprise, he hit the ball sharply! His teammates went wild; his parents and his teammates’ parents cheered loudly. Even though we were still losing the game, I was jumping up and down! We all loved this kid and cheered him on.
I imagine that the Lord cheers us on in our lives as well. He loves us deeply and desires that we “may be able to comprehend . . . what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge” (Eph. 3:18-19).
Some think of the Lord as unloving and waiting for us to slip up so He can punish us. So we have the privilege of telling them of His deep love for them. Imagine their joy when they hear about the God who loves them so much that He sent His only Son to die on the cross for their sin and who wants to cheer them on!
Read: Ephesians 3:14-21

Wow, favorite TV show? Hmmm...that has changed over the ages. We kinda started with Sea Hunt, then moved on to Peter Gunn, Mission Impossible, Johnny Quest, Gunsmoke, Rawhide, and Wagon Train. Then there was a long hiatus while serving in the Army. Now we like the NCIS shows, and Blue Bloods. Everything comes to a stop for Nana when Tom Selleck is on the screen!
A Red, White and Blue howdy to you!
Hot weather is back, but rain may happen by Sunday, Woo-Hoo!
Any news on the book signing front?
