3:205 – First, It Hurts Setting #faithbites #faithjourney hurts Yesterday, I received an injection in my back. Let me tell you it hurt like the Dickens. The numbing medicine was very painful then it got easier from there. Today, everyone is asking how I’m doing. When I say sore, they ask if it’s because of the pain I had before […]
3:202 – Shields Up, Red Alert #faithbites #faithjourney Alert Setting I have always loved Star Trek. Maybe it was because my Dad marched on Burbank Studios in the 60s to keep it on the air or because it allows us to think about strange new worlds, new life, and new civilizations. Whatever the reason, I’ve always loved it. In Star […]
3:195 – How Do You See the World? #faithbites #faithjourney world Setting This morning, after taking my dog for a walk, I let him hang out on the deck. He sat there motionless just staring at the world. I wondered what he was looking at. Was it the birds in the trees or the bunnies running around? Maybe he was […]
3:184 – I Want To Buy #faithbites #faithjourney buy So, we are on vacation and my.kida, especially my youngest, wants to buy everything. It doesn’t matter what it is, everything is “I’ve always wanted this”. So she kept buying stuff and I helped her on making some good choices but she still wanted more. My eldest then ran out of […]
3:182 – Call Me Job #faithbites #faithjourney Job Sometimes, when life is hard, I say, “Call me, Job”. For those playing at home it’s Job (j-O-buh) not job (j-ah-b). This guy in the Bible who had so many thingsgo wrong but never lost faith. Today was a blessing with family but also hard with personal health issues and family health […]
3:179 – A Dog With A Bone #faithbites #faithjourney dog Have you ever heard the phrase that someone is like a dog with a bone? In most cases, it’s not a compliment. I’m the proverbial dog. When I get my mind set on something, it’s hard to let it go. Be mask wearing, gaming, politics, or any of a slew […]
3:174 – Am I Selfish? #faithbites #faithjourney selfish Fair warning, this is a challenging #faithbites and I am riled up. I am upset about those choosing not to wear a mask because “it bothers them”. Not that they can’t wear it because of a medical issue but they don’t like it. Wearing masks isn’t to protect you, but it’s to […]
3:168 – What Do You Treasure? #faithbites #faithjourney treasure Setting There has been a lot in the news about our heritage. Statues being removed, brands that we know changing, upheaval about change. The key has been “they are taking away my heritage” or “this is what I treasure”. Then the quick response is you are being racist or you just […]
3:150 – Happiness AND Despair #faithbites #faithjourney despair Turn on the news and it’s bleak. Protests, death, and more. There isn’t much happiness to look at. Right now, I’m choosing to try to be happy. It’s not easy. Each time, I started to write this, I began to go into darker items more in the realm of despair. All of […]
3:137 – God May Have Already Answered Your Prayers #faithbites #faithjourney already It was 5:30 AM and the dog woke me up. I took him outside into the backyard. It was blurry as I didn’t have my glasses on. All I saw was a field of white as far as the eye could see. It took me a while to […]
