Since God works, we will work too!

 

Rachel finally got her Mexican pizza

 

Are we tearing down or building up?

 

It is right for us to weep with those who weep

 

At the bookstore

Sometimes when Rachel and I are at the bookstore no words need to be spoken. Everything that needs to be communicated is effectively expressed through the look on our faces.

Along with a few subtle but eloquent hand gestures.

If you see joy, satisfaction and a stare that says, “Yep, I’m overflowing with happiness.”

…Then you are probably looking at a different photo.

 

Will we have work to do in heaven?

 

Finley went into her crate to take a nap.

So Rachel also went into Finley’s crate to take a nap.

Afterwards they both chased a rabbit and chewed on bones in the backyard.

 

Rachel and I have to handle a bit of disappointment

 

Lucy's big, long sigh

One of our dogs, Lucy, is lying next to me and she just let out a long, loud sigh. I mean, a sigh that was much longer and much louder than usual.

It was almost as if she was trying to tell me, “Hey, it has been a rough day and it feels good to finally relax and get some much needed rest. Because, frankly, life can send us some significant and troubling challenges and they weigh heavily on the mind and spirit. And even though I’m just a dog I tire from the responsibilities and find in myself a desire to seek solace and respite in simple quiet-time and tranquility.”

Or, I suppose it may have just been a sigh.

 

You've received grace? ...Then be willing to extend grace to others.

 

Speaking the truth w/out compromise regardless of the audience

 

These simple, ordinary relationships are sacred

Rachel's retirement is still in effect

 

 

Jesus: The world hates you? ...It hated me first.

 

People who know the truth of God but reject it anyhow

 

Rachel is not worried about my feelings

We were at the eye glasses store and I was picking up my new glasses. I put them on and said to Rachel, “Do they look like they fit?”

She said, “They look like women’s glasses.”

Rachel is not worried about injuring my sensitive feelings. 

 

Let's think about the stark difference between the two

 

 

Will it be possible to sin in heaven? -- Full message

 

You are not alone in following the Lord

 

Rachel and Dan talk about Finley being sensitive

 

Be wary of deceptive spirits and false teachings

 

Being honest with ourselves is something that matters

 

Have you been faithful with whatever God has already given you?

 

Turn to God, Acknowledge God
