“…and a little child shall lead them…” (Isaiah 11:6 ESV) I’m not sure if you look at the TV channel that plays the old black and white movies, but if you do perhaps you have seen “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?”  The movie is about a former child movie star that couldn’t make it an adult. Bette Davis is the star, the leading lady of this classic.  Today title should...

“Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned…” (Philippians 4:11a NKJV) Years ago, I was hired to teach Psychology at a local high school.  There was a catch to my contract.  I had to agree to be the Trainer and Equipment Manager for the school’s basketball teams and the football teams; freshmen teams to varsity teams.  My preparation for the Trainer role...

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.  Wherefore take unto you the whole...

“…seek, and you will find…” (Matthew 7b NASB) Gloria looked at for a black skirt at more than one of the stores that usually are stocked with various dresses and skirts.  Many of the stores seemed to have stopped selling those items.  If you wanted exercise or workout pants, the racks are full of selections in all colors and with creative designs.  But trying to find just...

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.”(Number 6:24-26 NKJV) One of the college age individuals that is a recipient of Mark Writes meditations recently asked a good question, “Why on each one of the meditations do you put the expression “Be blessed?”  I said,...

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8 NLT) Yesterday I toiled to change the 26 clocks, yes 26 clocks, in my house!  What a chore, especially with the big clocks and multiple timepieces mounted high on the walls!  Changing clocks, well you just have to make time for it (Pun intended!).  They say we gain an hour.  My body did not agree this...

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!  You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.  In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.” (Matthew 23:27-28 NIV) Later today you will see kids...

“Summing up: Be agreeable, be sympathetic, be loving, be compassionate, be humble.  That goes for all of you, no exceptions.  No retaliation.  No sharp-tongued sarcasm.  Instead, bless—that’s your job, to bless.  You’ll be a blessing and also get a blessing.” (2 Peter 3:8-12 MSG) Have you ever attended a young child’s basketball game at your local community center or...

“Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding.  For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold.  Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.  She offers you long life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left.” (Proverbs 3:13-16) Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Like anybody, I would...

GOD WANTS A LITTLE TALK WITH YOU

“For the word of God is alive, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12 MEV) As I sat down to write this morning, I seemed to hear a heavenly directive, “Move out of the way!  I got this!”  My first response was kind of like...
