Flying Out
Some shots on the way out.
How Long?
God, do not be far from me; my God, hurry to my aid! Psalm 71:12 Hurry – You remember these lines from another psalm? “How long, Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? How long am I to feel anxious in my soul, with grief in my heart all the day? How long will…
Deuteronomic Sin
Saying, “God has abandoned him; pursue and seize him, for there is no one to save him.” Psalm 71:11 NASB Abandoned – What are the consequences of living in a religiously public world? What do people assume to be true if their paradigm claims that public circumstances are the direct result of the will of God? These…
No Access
So we landed in this small valley. There are no roads, no trails, no access except by plane (and a plane that can land in about 200 feet) and snowmobiles in the winter. I thought you might like a view of someplace very few people have ever been.
The Watchers
For my enemies have spoken against me; and those who watch for my life have consulted together, Psalm 71:10 NASB Watch for my life – Don’t read this as if others are watching over you! In this verse, the psalmist identifies those who watch in order to see him fail. They’ve teamed up with his enemies and…
We are Not there yet
Here is the latest update on Malaki From my son’s text message: Bringing him home today, doctors basically say he is going to continue to have seizures and educated us on what to do and when it would warrant a hospital trip. . . it is so hard to see him like that. Just him…
Retirement
Do not cast me away at the time of my old age; Do not abandon me when my strength fails. Psalm 71:9 Cast me away – Retire sooner—die sooner. Oh, oops! I thought that should have read, “Retire sooner—live longer,” but in fact the research seems to point in the other direction. A study reported in the Harvard…
Malaki update
Baby Malaki had EEG, blood test, and ultrasound. The neurologist told Michael that they will be able to determine a care plan after evaluation, but he said it does not appear to be more damage. Malaki will be in the ICU today and maybe tomorrow. However, my son, Michael, his father, is really struggling with…
Baby Malaki is back in the hospital
My grandson, Malaki is back in ICU at Children’s hospital. He started having seizures early in the morning. Michael says he appears to be in pain and not doing well. Please pray that the Lord will preserve him, heal him, and allow him to be able to return home soon. Thanks! Skip
Acqua in Bocca
My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your glory all day long. Psalm 71:8 NASB Filled – You don’t really speak a language until you speak its idioms. If I say, “Cut to the chase” or “He kicked the bucket,” you won’t have any idea what I mean if you simply translate the phrases word…
