Whenever I go for a walk outside, my prayers turn to gratitude and praise to God for His provisions, freely given to all.

Blessings to you,

Pastor Bob!!

Love the plaques Bob. We have several in our home. My wife put one in the bathroom with a picture of Abe Lincoln. It says “It’s better to be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt”. I asked her if she was trying to tell me something. She just smiled. I wonder if ol honest Abe actually said that? She has another one that says “it’s a perfect day for a perfect day”. I like that one. I know there are no perfect days but it gives me hope. I saw one at a shop years ago that I wanted to buy but Jane wouldn’t let me. It said “My wife hasn’t been the same since they dropped that house on her sister”. I’m not sure why she didn’t approve the purchase of that one. I liked it. Seriously Bob, your blogs have helped me keep my focus on Christ as I deal with some changes. I think I told you this before, it’s causes us to think and re-evaluate our lives when we realize we have an expiration date. Love you brother!

Bro. Bob, I always enjoy reading your blogs. Sometime, I read them twice to be sure I get the full meaning out of them. I know I have never gone through anything that compares with what you endured with COVID, but I have been seriously ill a number of times. I had chronic appendicitis for six years. I am sure you remember when I became skin and bones about five or six years ago. You and your family came to see me when your daughter and her family were in Rolla. Recently, one of my nieces told me the family thought they were going to lose me during that illness. I still do not know the cause of the illness. I think it was caused by the doctor's change in one on my medications. I don't understand Jacob's bargaining with God. I have never dreamed or thought of bargaining with God. I am always happy that He is my God. I get a chuckle out of things you write. When you were talking about when we are imprisoned by something not of our own will, you said you could go on and on, but we were already doing that. How did you know? If you can read my mind at this distance, you are doing something. Yes, I was way out ahead of you. I like plaques, too. I just got a new one. It says, "Because He lives, I can face tomorrow." Honestly, I don't think about this being the last season of my life or that my days are numbered. I just live one day at a time. I have been very blessed in my life, and I am sure I will continue to be blessed. Your writing skills are very good. Please tell me how to make paragraph on a comment like this one or on Messenger.
