That was different. I seldom have felt such a sensation. Maybe during my brief football two-a-days experience as a person 1/3 of my current age? Maybe, and brief was the experience, indeed, possibly for just this very reason. Air: it hurt to want more air, and I now need to get more used to it. [...]

…and spiritual disciplines: don’t let me neglect spiritual disciplines. Matthew 19:23-25 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you the truth, it is very hard for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. I’ll say it again—it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for [...]

We had a great message tonight from an expert in Bible translations. He commented on how the Bible remains a best seller every year, and then said something ironic and thought provoking: “I’m glad someone is buying them, but I wonder what they are doing with all of them, because they’re not reading them”. And [...]

As referenced in last night’s post, I encountered a team of people during my early morning jog on the beach yesterday. They were a clean, well dressed, polite looking bunch.
