Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. For we all stumble in many ways, and if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things.

Prayer List

And we remember those who protect and nurture life on this earth, along with all military families, emergency responders, and hospital, nursing home and hospice care workers.

Now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the just decrees that I am teaching you, and do them, that you may live, and go in and take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you. You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I command you.

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

Gap and Gain

As I started reading the book I was not impressed. It was obvious to me that the authors either knew nothing about or totally disagreed with the concept of original sin and human limitations. They seemed to be pushing the concept that “you can do anything you put your mind to as long as you try hard enough.” And I hope you realize this simply is not true. However, I read on – hoping that such a popular book with monster reviews would have some value. And I am glad I did – even though I am still not sure that they understand the challenges and limitations that all humans have because we are, by nature, sinful and finite creatures.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen

Streteched

I regularly had days like Tuesday before I was retired, but I thought they were all in my past. That said, in reality, the ways in which I was stretched on this past Tuesday do not really compare to many pre-retirement days. So, I should probably just say that, as one who has celebrated 71 birthdays, I was stretched.

Then Moses said to Aaron, “Say to the whole congregation of the people of Israel, ‘Come near before the LORD, for he has heard your grumbling.’” And as soon as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the people of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud. And the LORD said to Moses, “I have heard the grumbling of the people of Israel. Say to them, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you shall know that I am the LORD your God.’”
