How do you ‘see’ the God of the Universe? Friend? Family? GOD? Do you consider the Triune God soooo very ‘out of your league’ that the only thing you know how to do is to keep Him as God and untouchable? If so, then I find that incredibly sad. No blame… no foul – just

I’m feeling somewhat melancholy right now. Another of my classmates died the other day. And, if you say, at your age not a big surprise. And yet… We were babies of the WWII vintage. This was an entirely different time and yes, that can be said of each generation, but it was really true for
I may have taken a right when I should have continued straight ahead, but I got intrigued with the word – devotional. Do we really know what it means? Do we know how to ‘do’ it? So I did a bit of a deep dive. Most of the scriptural references on this word are found
