The Thrill is On

With the first snowfall of the season, the social media platforms were bombarded with snow covered lawn photos. Including the one below from my sister.  


The first snow sprinkling always carries a special mystique for its beautiful contrast against the green grass and autumn leaves at their peak colors. Even though snuggled up in our sweat tops and thick cotton socks inside our warm homes, we still get a thrill of that initial coating.  


The Weather Station forecast for the next 10 days are temps in the 50 to 70 degree range.  In other words, no snow in the next two weeks.  When the snowfall happens it will not cause a stir on the Internet.  The thrill is gone and mystique cannot be captured again until this time next year.


A walk with Christ never looses it appeal; it’s always a thrill.  Psalm 92:4, “You thrill me, LORD, with all you have done for me! I sing for joy because of what you have done”.


The key to perpetual thrill is your perspective of God.  It is one thing to believe in Him; it’s another thing to like Him.  It’s one thing to serve God; and again, another thing to like Him. Point——  It’s easy to like the Lord because He first loved us, 1 John 4:19, “We love because He first loved us”.


When you like something, it is not unusual to surround yourself with media and books to learn more about what you like.  You immerse yourself into your passion.  The same is true in building like of God.  Immerse yourself in the Good Book.  Being an aspiring follower of Christ back in the day was challenging because you had just the shakespearean translation of the Bible in the King James Version.  Well written and poetic, but hard to read everyday. 


This not the case anymore with more than 40 translations.  You can hunker down everyday and allow the Word fuse to itself to your being.  You can enjoy the life enriching passages that bring a zing of inspiration to you anytime you open the book and peruse the pages. Psalms 1:1-3, “How well God must like you.  You thrill to God’s Word, you chew on Scripture day and night”.


Tip, save on your laptop or cell phone a link for Biblegateway.com.  Search the site to find a translation that will help you sustain a consistent reading routine.  You will find faith coming to you in large doses and the pure fun of a blessed lifestyle.


Song of the Week

The Table, 2021, Jonathan Taylor.  Lots of energy. Great production!  Lyrics in video.

Here is Your Mother

It is a Good Son-Day Indeed Mother's Day Menagerie Here is Your Mother I am blessed in so many ways to be surrounded so many wonderful women who have brought into the world exceptional human beings.  Thank God every day for the mothers who have impacted my life.  I know when I need them they will be there for me and they know I will reciprocate. As I continue the epic saga of post-resurrection Christ I would be remissed if I did not include presence at the cross and the acession of Christ.  Typical mother, always there for an extraordinary and exceptional anointed Savior she birth into this world. Take care of the women who are your biological, step, assumed, spiritual, in-law, in-lieu of physical mother. Christ, Mary his mother, Christ's disciple, and Christ's charge to His disciple. John 19:25-27 25 Standing near the cross were Jesus’ mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw His mother standing there beside the di...

Live Roses

 Good Son-Day - The Start of  Something New Ice Creameisters! Live Roses The day after Christmas, I got a call from a former co-worker I had connected with for about a year or so. I started the conversation by asking about her grandchild and two daughters. I proceeded to ask her how her husband was doing and got an unexpected quick but poignant answer: "Oh, he's doing fine; we're getting a divorce."  Wait, what! This couple was married for 30-plus years.  The husband is retired. Nice home in the burbs,  Both children are college grads.  Empty nesters. The American Dream. What happened? I did not pry.  The only thing she offered was, "One day, I was sitting at the dining room table.  He sat directly across from me.  I looked at him.  I said to myself I can't do this anymore. I knew then I needed to file for a divorce."   The  news sent me for a spin.  At first, I thought he must have cheated, or he spent too much time at hi...

Only The Powerful

Take a Son-Day Drive on This Lovely Day Summer Vibes Laughter is Good for the Heart How Our Summer is Going Only The Powerful  The entire world classifies people into hierarchies based job, residence, earnings, assets, weight, athleticism, height, and color to name an obvious few.  If you do not have the right previous descriptors you can be deemed by society as less desirable, unworthy, or a write off. Recently, I sat in on a conversation with some employees outside one of our buildings.  The conversation turned to a Minneapolis suburb called "Blaine".  They talked about the vivid dichotomy between the impoverished trailer parks and the lavish homes in the new developments.  I then cringed when I heard them refer to the people residing in the trailer homes as "White Trailer Trash" and this was uttered by a person of the same color. I spoke up and said I was uncomfortable with the conversation and that ended it. Our Lord did not create a physical being...
