Just Wondering

January 26th, 2026

Just wondering if any of you all ever added something you had already done to your list just so that you had something to cross off. LOL I have to admit I’m guilty. It actually gave me a little boost that sent me on my way of doing other things to cross off.

Who Decreed Three?

December 24th, 2025

Now after Yeshua was born in Bethlehem of Judea,in the days of King Herod, magi from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is the One who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”

Matthew 2:1-3

The manger scene has something else wrong, as well. He was a young child when they visited His house.

And behold, the star that they had seen in the east went on before them, until it came to rest over the place where the Child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great gladness. And when they came into the house, they saw the Child..

Matthew 2:9b-11a

Another thought. His birth couldn’t have been in December. It was probably in late September as the flocks were still out in the field at night.

You can read more background here.

All verses are from the Tree of Life Version.

Yeshua is Hebrew for Jesus.

You Will Be Peter

October 21st, 2025

This was a very interesting book. It looks at Peter from the very beginning of his life as he followed Jesus. You will journey through lands, life styles, culture and thoughts of Jesus and the twelve. Especially Peter.

These authors did a thorough job of their research. They make it real for the reader.

I do take exception to the last chapter. “Who do you say I am?” It reads from a Catholic viewpoint which views Peter as the first pope. Coming from a Bible college background I see Peter’s words as the foundation of the Christian faith.

Thank you, Jerry Lathan and Steven Manchester, for giving us an eye view of the twelve followers of Jesus and the Way.

The Big MAC Attack

October 19th, 2025

I cheated. Not on a diet. On my Mending Alteration Creation list. Two items from the Mending bit the dust. No, I did not mend them. I told you I cheated. I sent them out the door. And, no, I do not have a guilty conscience. LOL

I’ll try to do better when I address the A category. I really do need to do some alterations. Unless one of you all want to come and do them for me.

To Move or Not to Move

October 16th, 2025

That is the question. I’m seriously considering a move back up north to my home state. That won’t be happening any time soon. I’m going to have to ease my way back into the cold and snow.

That means a late spring or summer move. But not too late. I don’t want to have to live through another hurricane. Please, God. Back to back hurricanes was just too much water and wind.

I know I’ll be looking at snow and ice storms. Unfortunately, very few places have perfect weather.


Okay. Decision has been made. I’m moving north. BUT, only a little farther north in Florida. LOL

Worried?

Cast all your worries on Him, for He cares for you.

Still Working

June 6th, 2025

Still working on Consumer Man’s finances. He was doing really well until he had to help some of his adult children relocate to Florida. After he got them all situated in apartments and jobs, they decided to move to New York where their mother lives. Go figure.

His debts are heading in the right direction. Two of them are totally paid off.

I’m at the point where my two credit cards are paid in full monthly. My car became truly my car when I paid it off last year. Imagine a very happy face now belonging to this writer.

Do Not Be Deceived!

May 17th, 2025

Do not be deceived!

Bad company corrupts good morals.

1 Corinthians 15:33 TLV

Eliminate

February 22nd, 2025

Get rid of all bitterness and rage and anger and quarreling and slander, along with all malice.

Instead, be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving each other just as God in Messiah also forgave you.

Ephesians 4:31-32 TLV
