Missing the point of reading, studying, and singing

"You have received unmerited love and grace. Share it—or quit reading, studying, and singing about it."   —Pastor Glenn Kaiser (pictured above) Sometimes we get so caught up in the activities of reading, studying, singing, etc., we end up missing the point. But that's precisely the point: Don't miss the point.

June 11th is our wedding anniversary. Thirty-five years later I'm even more in love with this woman. And she's funny too . Last month we were both up before the sun drinking coffee—Stacy at one end of the kitchen table and me at the other. I said, "Why don't you sit closer to me so we can read the Bible together this morning?" In a tired voice, Stacy said, "That would take me further away from the coffee pot." So funny. So early in the morning. Thanks for celebrating God's goodness with us! "Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine, flourishing with in your home. Your children will be like vigorous young olive trees as they sit around your table. That is the LORD's blessing for those who fear him." —Psalms 128:3-4 God is so good !
