Joy in the Lord
One day over a year ago, I was sitting with our granddaughter and she began to sing a little tune: “Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow.” I’d never heard it before, so I looked it up online. I found it among a half-hour video with lots of fun songs. Eventually that song collection became one of our favorites, even playing it when driving to and from her home in our car [yes, we have our very own car seat just for that purpose].
That reminds me of finding joy in the Lord and singing in our hearts each day. Jesus was full of joy and wanted us to have that joy too.
The Devil likes to make up terms to push his ideas. “Gender dysphoria” is a made-up name for people who don’t believe they are what God made them to be. I’ve taught language for years, and “gender” used to be a term only used for classifying nouns, adjectives, and participles. It has nothing directly to do with sex. God made “men and women,” as Jesus said in Mark 10:6: “But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.” People who deny God and his creation, deny their own bodies:

Co-workers in the Gospel
Sherry and I went to a holiday party last night for our school faculty and staff. It was fun to chat with co-workers and get to know them and their spouses better. Did you know that WE are also “co-workers” with God and other believers as we preach the gospel to reconcile men and women back to God?

John’s first letter has A LOT TO SAY about love.
There is snow in North Carolina today. Sometimes it is rare here, but still very lovely. The Bible speaks of how important snow is to daily life, and how significant as a comparison to eternal affairs this frozen moisture is.

I Cannot But in Wonder
I cannot but in wonder standAt the cross, its feet,
Hang before me, Son of Man,
Redemption now complete.
O what great love in garden spent,
The choice he made for me,
That I in freedom, heaven sent,
Might live eternally.
I cannot hope for earthly fame,
Nor wisdom, wealth, and power.
But I will humbly preach his name,
And praise God every hour.
