Mistaken Identity
Recently I decided to design a new birthday card for my family. It is just one of those things I do now since I took an art class at my local “senior center,” which is officially called, Active Adult Center. I really don’t draw very well, but it gives me purpose to design my own …
Two Capsules, Confusion, and a Ring
Capsules, Confusion, and a Ring The title is the short side of this story. Here goes!Every day I take two capsules that help my vision at least stay where it is, although it is getting dimmer, it is still clear most days. It set the two capsules out on my desk in a green lid …
Ebenezer
If you were taking a word-association quiz, you probably would blurt out automatically “Scrooge” in reaction to the word Ebenezer. Further, you probably would not name your little baby boy Ebenezer either. However, it has a profound meaning. Eben means stone and -ezer means help. The word is used three times in I Samuel: 4:1, …
Blind Eyes vs Blind Hearts
John 9 give us an account of Jesus giving blind eyes sight. Some Bible teachers put the same story into one lesson, but in my opinion, this is an individual account. Jesus took care of blindness both in a physical and spiritual sense. .When I tell Bible stories to children, I often make up a …
David and Jonathan
I hold a weekly Bible devotional group meeting on Wednesday mornings. It is a wonderful circle of friends who gather with me around God’s Word. Currently we are journeying through the life of David. Although I use other sources, the main source I have been using is a book by Charles Swindoll, from his great …
Job Commended and Restored Chapter 42
I didn’t post last week’s hand out because it needed some editing and I just never got around to it. I hope there is sufficient review in this post. If you have questions, please ask in the comments section. The description of a patient person as “patient as Job” is cute and portrays an extremely …
Job and Elihu
Let me testify that while studying and producing these lessons through Job, Satan has been busy raising a ruckus around me. I have been twisted, stretched, and wrung out. I wish I could say that like Job I have remained cool and collected through it all. Not at all. Frustration, hurt feelings, and heartbreak seem …
Job and Zophar
Conversations between Job and Zophar are in chapters 11-14, and 20-21. Here is the handout sheet I gave to my class this week. Although it is somewhat limited, I do have some stage experience both on and off stage as a director. There is a term, type-cast, that most directors try not to do. …
Job and Bildad
These discourses are found in three places throughout the book of Job. Bildad speaks in chapters 8, 18, and 25. Job responds in 9-10, 19, and 26-31. This is just a summary sheet I hand out to my class. Bildad goes a step further than Eliphaz. While Eliphaz accuses Job of sin, Bildad pushes Job …
Job 4-7 Eliphaz and Job
This is my handout sheet for the class I lead on Wednesdays. If you have questions, please put them in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer, or I’ll find an answer, even if it is “I don’t know.” You will understand my statement as you read through the handout. 🙂 Review: Job …
