Titus (please re-read this if you did, I goofed up the verse reference)

-
Dear readers:


In typing today's blog I referenced the wrong chapter of the book Titus.  I had the Bible open but must have looked at the big 2.  The last verse I suggested you read for content was the first verse in chapter two.  My pastor was kind enough to point out the mistake to me this afternoon but I had no way to fix it until now.  My humble apologies.


Anyway, The verse in question, Titus 1:16 will lead into tomorrow's blog, due in part to some comments I overheard today. 


Thanks and so sorry for the confusion.  I like to link to the verse or type it out in its entirety when I can to avoid these kinds of mistakes.  I'll try to do better in the future!

Good morning, readers.  Short post today, sorry about that.  I'm running a bit late and have to leave for work.  Last day of overtime this week and I'm really looking forward to three days off.

I was thumbing through my Bible the other day and came across the book of Titus.  It had been a while since I read it so I did this morning.  If you have just a small amount of free time today,   I'm not a fan of cherry picking scriptures as you know, so I'd encourage you to read the whole three chapters.  That's it.

There's a verse or two in there that applies to a lot of people I know that verse 1:16 applies to.  Google it and you'll see what I mean.  It's a verse that stands on its own, but for context's sake, at least read the one before it and the one after it.

I used to be one of the people that verse 1:16 describes.  Are you?

Take some time today and read the scripture to find out.  I hope God touches your heart to read this today and that it will cause you to reflect on the matter.

Praise the Lord for the opportunity to share with you today.  I hope the scripture reading today touches your heart and draws you closer to Jesus.

    From Pastor Karl, who let me know I'd made the mistake yesterday:

    An honest mistake and easy to fix. Sometime you should invite your readers to look up something in the book of Hezekiah...watch them scramble to find it. Also interesting to note how many people tell you they found it, and how it touched them in some way. ☺

And part two....

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

The Declaration they made.

-
 Tomorrow is Independence Day.  It's the day we celebrate the birthplace of the idea of the United States of America.  Constitution Day comes later this year.  On the 4th, we celebrate the document signed that signified that Americans wanted to be a free people, under self-rule and free from the tyranny of their king. In the opening salvo of the document, they clearly point out that the rights they believe all men should have are given by their Creator.  According to the law of non-contradiction, the truths they hold to be "self-evident" (great words, are they not?) about how the Creator of the Universe blessed them with being created equal, says that for these words to be actually true, the Creator must be.  He cannot not be and have the Declaration of Independence be a truthful document. Our freedoms in America hinge on that document.  The people then fought a war over it.  We've been fighting wars ever since to keep and protect those freedoms....
