Anchor On … ‘O glorious day!’

Saturday, April 20, 2019 10:46 AM

The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave in absolute Biblical truth now gives us the incentive and power to “seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:1-3). Christ suffered the penalty for our sin, and in Him only we can receive the reward to eternal Heaven!

Life's full of clumsy little moments

Saturday, April 20, 2019 10:41 AM

In between the above episodes, I’ve dropped and broken three glasses, tripped partially down the basement stairs, hit my knee on the same desk corner at work more than once, lost my car keys and cellphone (both found after much handwringing, and more use of colorful metaphors directed inward), dealt with Toby’s infected post-surgical wound, leaking sink, filing taxes and a few other of life’s daily reminders that things happen that upset the day and the routine.
