John 8:47
Memories of the 1960's. Drinking from the garden hose, Playing outside till it was time for supper or it got dark-whichever came first. Box fans, heat rash, Church on Sunday and one family black & white television with 3 channels. Time passes and times sure have changed. Welcome to my world. Stories about growing up in Texas. New adventures and the struggle to remain relevant in the lives of my adult children.

Resurrection Sunday
Easter Sunday is the day those of us who believe Jesus is the Son of God, was crucified, earthly body placed in a tomb for three days, celebrate His resurrection. Life and times are full of change as decades turn to centuries or so it would seem to some. My Bible however tells the same story over and over and ever amazing to me is that God reveals something new each time I read it. I have noticied a common theme over the last few years incorporated more and more in political satire, stand up comedy, scripted into prime time television shows, so much so, that the inevidable changes to be expected as time marches on, has broken ranks in what I observe seems to be an all out attempt to discredit God and his Word to us, the Bible. I question things around me all the time, including what I read in the leather bound preachers Bible that belonged to my Dad. You see, God only reveals Himself, His wisdom to those seeking Him. I have to remember that cause it bites when a popular celebrity to get a laugh or shock value blurts out "So 'Noah and the Ark' is really just a story about a Dad drowning his children in a huge bathtub?" There are a few verses in Luke that help explain why non-believers just 'don't get it'. Luke 24 is about the events after Jesus resurrection and reading the entire chapter helps keep it in context. Verse 16 describes men talking with Jesus but were unable to recognize Him. They actually could not 'get it' till verse 31. Explains a lot if you think about it and helps me to not be judgmental or hurt by abrasive comments from those unble to understand. Jesus lives! kisses
