  • Chit Chat

    Good Morning, Yes I am still vertical and taking nourishment. It goes without saying that I have been distracted. Retirement is so foreign to my life habits that it is requiring a little effort to find a rhythm. It is slowly clicking in. Thanks to family and friends. I am enjoying my reading time. Devotional…

  • Oswald Chambers 2/27/24

    New Believer/Mature Follower Read-Meditate-Apply-Practice February 27 The Impoverished Ministry of Jesus “Where then do You get that living water?” (John 4:11).“The well is deep”—and even a great deal deeper than the Samaritan woman knew!

  • HE SAID WHAT?

    It was in February of 1974 when I first entered into my redeemed relationship with the Lord. That event occurred at a revival being conducted at Southside Baptist Church in Sarasota.

You have been in your prayer closet, whatever that may look like, with just three of you. I left the Fellowship Hall last night (4/5), spiritually and mentally agitated with…

  • Blast from the Past!

    Shalom, We have been slowly going through things since Pat passed and last Saturday we ran across this picture. A picture to you but memories to me. … Blast from the Past!

  • Partnered With Apollos and God
