John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that out of these stones…

   Sometimes a story writes itself. It lingers in the mind of the author, distilling. Pushing itself to the front of thoughts, it demands a time to be told. This is either a long process or a quickened one. The writer chooses his method of operation – is he an outliner, a spontaneous combustion type,…

     I have to admit I am not a Honda fan. Really not. But this is a great commercial with a good tune and lots of imagination and terrific graphics. Hope you enjoy it.   Father, thank you for it all. In every good and perfect thing and gift, you are there. Always. Thank…

      I like the design but it's a bit too "white" for me. This one is made for a serious cook. What do you think?   Father, you provide for needs of all kinds. Your designs are based in beauty and truth. Thank you for all of the uniqueness. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.…

Dripping faucets Driving the speed limit or just below it in the fast lane Liberal/Progressive/Democrat philosophy/politics Copy-editing errors (my own and others') Compromising the Gospel   Father,…

     Extremely well done. This is the tear-jerking scene for us romantics that allowed Ziva David to stay in her homeland (Israel) and for Cote de Pablo to leave NCIS. Will Special Agent Tony DiNozzo's departure involve the unconfessed love of his life? Hopefully.   Father, emotion is a gift. Thank you for it.…

            Here's the bad news: Michael Weatherly will be leaving the hit show NCIS at the end of the 2016 season. When a series goes as long as this one has (13 seasons), the actors start to thin out. Very Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo will be greatly missed.   Father, thank you for the talent…

This very modern kitchen has an older, kind of classic feel to it, especially with the glimpse of the adjoining hallway, doors, and the wainscoting/kitchen wall. I don't like the ceiling, but everything else works including the view.   Lord, thank you for the ability to capture the old with the new, to use what's valuable from all different…
