[Note: Vacation, free tickets to a Cincy Red’s game, a new car, or the coming 1000th Interruption – which is more desirable?] I do not fish. I do not hunt or play golf. I’m not your typical American male — I’m more spiritual! HHHHMMMHHM! In John 21, having been told by Jesus to go to Galilee, …
Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear (Ephesians 4:29, NASB1995).

We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are (Romans 3:22, NLT). My wife loves cats, all things cats. Years back, my wife and I were given a cat cookie jar – a large white cookie jar with …
Let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most (Hebrews 4:16, NLT), Before I could swim, I fell into a swimming pool. I remember that my mother jumped in to get me. Not too …
