I am enjoying another VBS day in Parkersburg, West Virginia at Bible Baptist church. The kids focus better on the Bible story if they have an interesting game following. And what would be more interesting than a game of “Wipeout”? The key is fun … and God’s Word. Psalm 119:11, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.”
Marleen bought me some Everything bagels at Costco. They are great at 4:30am with coffee as I try to push down my pills, vitamins, and capsules. They’re also good as an afternoon snack … and a bit healthier than Little Debbie Zebra Cakes. A full bagel is just too much for me, but a half bagel is just right (like Goldilocks). And with ½ a bagel at a time, the bagels last twice as long. What a blessing! Just like the good Lord’s provisions: they are renewed over and over. Lamentations 3:22&23, “It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” God is faithful indeed!
A week ago, I changed the oil in my truck and noticed something that puzzled me. It appeared that I was missing some rubber parts connecting the front stabilizer bar to the frame. I wasn’t sure, so I drove the truck to the parts store to ask someone smarter than me. The truck clearance was a little tight for the chuncky counterman to crawl under, so I took advantage of the curb using it as a makeshift ramp. He confirmed my suspicion, and I went away with the necessary parts. Hope you like my redneck ramp. Just use what is available. After all, God does. I Corinthians 1:27, “But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.” And why does God use imperfect people? Verse 29, “That no flesh should glory in his presence.”
