Anxiety Reigns

In this world of a mixture of beauty, delight, love, and all the good things, mixed up with the bad stuff like scams and murder, illness, world hunger, floods and wildfires, anxiety seems to be a daily companion for an awful lot of people. It doesn't seem to matter that anxiety doesn't fix the... Sign in to see full entry.

I Can't Seem To Forget

In a life that I call long, there have been many instances that for a time I have held a grudge, felt a need to forgive and forget and move on. I have said the words "I forgive..." and meant them, and from that point acted in a forgiving way toward them, but I am haunted by the things that define me... Sign in to see full entry.

One Hundred Percent Human

How easy it is to get into the habit of looking longingly for tomorrow, instead of living fully in this moment, on this day. I know I have to keep reminding myself of that because like everyone else, I'm only human. Dan Stone Praying the Sermon On The Mount - Day 26 “Give us THIS DAY our daily...

Gone Astray

Where have I been? I think I got lost from some of my blogs, this one in particular. It seems that I have skipped from #16 to #25. Just call me TAPS Van Winkle. Either I have had a long sleep, or have gone astray. We shall have to see about finding the lost gems at some point. Both God and my... Sign in to see full entry.

Choices

This teaching of Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount is surely meant as a parable, or fable, or have symbolic meaning, surely--- for I can't imagine someone really doing that..... But, then, there is that incident, that autobiography of Aron Ralston Between a Rock and a Hard Place... Dan Stone -... Sign in to see full entry.

I Can Just Hear The Pounding

Even though he's my Son, "He's done gone from preaching to meddling." That's what they used to say when the pastor began pounding the pulpit. I doubt if he pounds, but he does have a loud voice that gets even louder when he is making a point. Dan Stone - Praying the Sermon On The Mount - Day 15... Sign in to see full entry.

Upside-down Thinking

I wonder how often in my lifetime I have been concerned because I have something against another person, as opposed to being concerned because someone else may have something against me. Are there times when I have offended and never made amends, preferring to hold a grudge, and even trying to... Sign in to see full entry.

Murder In Our World

My preacher son and I don't always agree on everything. Actually, not one of my sons and I agree on everything. That's what makes life so interesting. We are individuals that think for ourselves, make our own decisions, speak our piece at times, sometimes harshly, sometimes quick to anger, but also... Sign in to see full entry.

Break One You're Dead

The Ten Commandments. There has never been anything else quite like them. Teaching them is fairly simple, doing them impossible, and keeping the first one is the most impossible of all. It is a good thing God's mercy is involved in this. Dan Stone - Praying the Sermon On The Mount - Day 12 Jesus... Sign in to see full entry.

A Lamp In A Dark World

There's a little light in all of us by God's design but you can't be a beacon if your light don't shine. Dan Stone - Praying the Sermon On The Mount - Day 11 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand,... Sign in to see full entry.
