THE REPURPOSED

This is your Monday Short meditation! It has to do with repurposing. Let’s say that you drive through a neighborhood that you lived near or drove through frequently in the distant past. As you did, you saw “The Repurposed.” Yes, vacated stores that once thrived with a steady flow of customers had been abandoned because of retail related reasons, but those stores have been repurposed as...

HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD!

“He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?’ I said, ‘Master God, only you know that.’He said to me, ‘Prophesy over these bones: Dry bones, listen to the Message of God!’” (Ezekiel 37:3-4) Tomorrow, on the Lord’s Day, I’m sure that you will be in the assembly of the saints, preferably in-person, but if not possible, virtually.
