sight Sound Taste Smell Emotional Atmospheric Anything can bring association between the now and what was. It’s sudden and it’s strong. Those terrible memories you have about terrible things you have done, why are they the ones who are predominant in such memory recollection? Surely you have a great many pleasant memories. But your appearance […]
What is this spine that I wear on my back?It’s not the one I was born with. This spine is tempered steel .“ I can’t live in a fire to temper my spine!”. What is the strength of it?What does this do that bones cannot? Let’s take a look: Why am I sitting here full […]
Black, gray, white. Monotone, color, light. This world cannot write any story from heaven. It can only speculate, suspicion, imagine, the things of God in Christ. You want to know what’s sad is? All the stories of this world will gather together before the throne of God. They will see the Christ of God and […]
If you never feel tempted by the devil, it can only mean a couple of things. Either you have no moral compass so your conscience doesn’t bother you at all or you’re so in league with the devil you think everything he and you do is right (and not even you, let alone others, has […]
Everybody wants God to bless them. If a mass murderer were given a slice of sanity, he too would ask God to bless his hand! Think about it. The problem is when we get blessed in some earthly fashion having been on the bottom, nothing more than a walking pile of Dung, we lose something […]
At the bottom (a pallet sized hole in the ground, reaching to the surface far above my head) is an absolute desolation that does not come from man. I wonder how many have actually been here and got out. Then the answer comes down the tiny little stream next to me, as many as I […]
The latest Lord’s , teaching to me: Accept everything that IS. Do not let it change you in the slightest. Be at peace and full of joy, no matter what kind of circumstance arrives. Not just as a public veneer, but as a true joyful heart to encounter what is thrown in my face. You […]
I spoke to a lady yesterday who said she had lost a loved one. I wouldn’t mention this, but what the Lord shared in me was profound. The sum:Don’t let what is inevitable, destroy your hope in any fashion. You will feel profound sadness when death visits or horrible sickness anything that the world considers […]
Your ears say something of great value to you. When you hear a noise behind you, that’s moving around you the sound gets louder at the same distance. Here’s what I perceive, this says to us: Sometimes when we live our lives, Christians will be a little perplexed that they can’t perceive the words of […]
The will of God is like a strand of every possible color wrapped in his protection. He offers it to his people individually. What his child needs is already sown into his garment. Not being used to such splendor often his children will cover it with small rags in certain places, so as to appear […]
Words From There 
It doesn’t really matter how “popular” a true Christian witness is. Our center of attention needs to be giving glory to God Almighty. He’s our reason for writing. If that is what we do, we have done God’s will in witnessing to all that He has done. If we care more about someone’s “remark” or the stats page, our eyes might be drifting away from all that God has done and can do. You know “who” tries to take our attention off of Jesus and con us into dwelling on ourselves. He’s known for being sneaky.
God’s word is filled with examples of unpopular witnesses — they all had their mockers and critics — but not a daily stats report. God works in ways we cannot fathom and most of the time we don’t even have a clue what He is doing or how He is working. But, we do know that He works all things for the good of those who love His name.
I’ve been appreciating your posts and hope you keep writing for our Lord.

A strong reply, and a welcome one.
I think I’ll grab my knack sack, crawl up on my wiggly ole legs, say “bye” to “Ponder Creek”, and waddle my way back to cuneiform stylus and clay.
The place I was sitting is a well worn spot. I’m sure even Enoch sat there once or twice. And I’m sure a passing friend reminded him of what’s important also, for I did wonder about that curiously less worn path along the road here.
God blessings in Christ to all who offer a tidbit of focus to the pondering saints. The soothing sound of this creek is less attractive than the rushing sound the Water of Life makes as we listen to instruction.
By His Grace.
