A Little Bit of Everything

A writing break while thinking of a heartbreak

So, I’ve sort of been loafing on posting anything.  I’ve been enjoying summer activities and trying to stuff in lots of reading:)  However, I have not forgotten about some things I intended to address in a few posts here, namely David and Saul, their faith, their actions, their legacies, and – most importantly – the states of their hearts.  I am working on a post on my thoughts about 1Samuel and 2 Samuel.  I don’t want to give the wrong impression, that it will long, complex, and wonderfully insightful just because I’ve been thinking about those two guys all summer.  In fact, the more I think about them, the shorter the mental writing has become.  Why?  Because, for all the complexity of their lives, personal and public, I think it simply always comes down to the state of the heart, one’s standing within the will and grace of God.  I’ll be back with more on Monday.

John 6:38-39

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.  This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.

The Book Beat – looks like a good read

Read the story of Lidia Schaefer, who set aside two days of wages each week and sold her house and car to build a school in Ethiopia – all while supporting her own children.  Beautiful!
