The Rock


God Rocks...

Yvette and I made a trip to Colorado to get away.  She, Kara, and I took a drive to look at the Aspens as they were turning.  Unfortunately there had been a hard freeze early so the colors were muted and we were a little disappointed that we were missing out on one of God’s most pretty paintings.  

As we were pulling up to the Eisenhower Tunnel Kara said, “let’s go over Loveland Pass, it’s a beautiful drive”  so we got off at Loveland and drove up to the pass.  We pulled over at the top to take a picture at the monument sign.  The message God had for us at that moment will be with me for the rest of my life. 

A rock was resting against the leg of the sign.  The message was   “ My love for you can not be measured, 

-God”

In the sermon on the mount Jesus tells of the importance of the Rock in building our foundation...

““Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:24-25‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The Rock is Christ Jesus, and the foundation is His Love for us.  This is our Good News...

What will you do with today?

My last post was on enjoying today, and someone asked the question, how had the verses I had shared spoken to me?  I have been pondering that question, and I will attempt to to answer... It was a little over a year ago that the reality that I might not live forever began to sink in.  We had noticed a lump on my left shoulder blade in late June and trying to figure out what it was had led to several doctors visits, scans and some tests and here I was scared to death. Every visit had gotten a little darker, I kept thinking, OK, this next visit will reveal something that will give us hope.  But nothing had, they had done a CT, not good, then an MRI was done, not good, meeting with a Urologist, not good, PET scan, the eyes of the technician said “Not good, and I am scared for you”, biopsy, not good, "Let’s do another biopsy," not good.  Every visit the story got worse,  and we knew "this is bad". The spot on my shoulder blade/upper back was now bigger and m

“...what a wonderful phrase...it means no worries for the rest of your day....”. You can’t tell me your not singing the song.    We all want to feel this but is it possible? Worry according to Oxford’s is: verb- give way to anxiety or unease; allow one's mind to dwell on difficulty or troubles. noun- a state of anxiety and uncertainty over actual or potential problems. So as a verb it means you have made a choice, as a noun it is a place you are at.    So can we make a choice to leave a place we are at and go to a different place?    I believe that answer is yes, but I also believe we don’t or can’t do either without help.   The Bible and our Lord cover worry extensively.    I was amazed at the number of places and times that pulled up when I did the word search. Nearly 3500 in the Old Testament and over 400 times in the New Testament, two word that follow close behind and walk hand in hand are fear and pain.    Both fear and pain are real and both are the

Enjoy today!

You won’t get a second chance to do today.... We get so tied up in thinking and planning for tomorrow that we miss what is laid out for us to do today. “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”” Psalm 46:10 NIV We are in a hurry and want to make sure our plans are just so, and have the foolish notion that we each control our own destiny, forgetting we have only one thing we really control and that is our heart.  Scripture is so full of examples and directions......... “But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”” Luke 10:40-42 NASB “For
