So, the other day we were out in the Atlantic fishing and a small canary lit on the side of my boat. I assume it was weary from the long trip that these tiny birds make as they fly back and forth to the Bahamas. I’ve seen them for many years out in the middle of the ocean and marveled that such a tiny delicate bird could travel across vast oceans. This little bird hopped over to me and jumped up on my arm and turned its head sideways and looked at me as I looked at him. He sat on my arm and rested for quite a while and then took to flight again heading to wherever it had been directed by God . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2019/05/canarys-rest/

I have an acquaintance who not that long ago started a ministry and the Lord is blessing it. He has worked hard and devoted significant amounts of his resources to it and is to be congratulated. The problem as I see it is that he never gives the Lord any credit for the ministry’s accomplishments at least to me. It sounds like he is warming up to do a concert – Mi-mi-mi – whenever he discusses “his” ministry. It is all about him and his sacrifice, his brilliance, his ingenuity, his business skillset, his resources, blah blah blah . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2019/05/me-me-me-3/

I’ve been in Islamorada in the Florida Keys for two weeks and will remain for another four weeks. I’ve been fishing nearly every day, relaxing, and resting my soul and it has been good for me. Yesterday I decided to take a couple of days off fishing and my wife and I decided on the spur of the moment to drive down to Key West which is about a 3-hour drive . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2019/05/slopping-hogs/

A friend wrote this morning and yet again I was asked about those folks in remote lands who have never heard about Jesus and what would happen regarding their eternal destiny. Jesus clearly has said that there is but one way to salvation and its through believing in Him. John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2019/05/is-god-unfair/

The Rolling Stones used to sing the song, “You Can’t always get what you want.” I have always disliked that band, and their satanic influence, but this particular song does state a truth. We in our vanity sometimes think we have everything figured out, and then we find that we don’t know much of anything and for sure do not control anything. All things considered it’s pretty dumb to boast about tomorrow, because tomorrow may not come, and if it does, it may not yield what we think it will . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2019/05/rolling-stones-finally-get-something-right/

Various lists of the Seven Wonders of the World have been compiled from ancient times to the present day, to catalogue the world’s most spectacular natural wonders and manmade structures. The original list of the seven wonders of the world has changed many times throughout the centuries . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2019/05/mother-of-all-wonders-of-the-world/

Do you want a fast that will virtually eliminate stress in your life? Try my “television fast.” Recently my wife and I cancelled direct TV and quit watching television altogether. It wasn’t just the nauseating, opinionated, slanted, news that bothered me, but the “Hollywood progressive agenda” being propagated in virtually everything I watched . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2019/05/finally-a-fast-that-works-well/

I’ve been fishing hard for three days in a dolphin tournament in the Florida Keys. Getting up at 5 a.m. every morning and racing across 3-5 foot seas in search of hungry Mahi all day can wear on you after a while. We caught some dolphin that were big enough to weigh in but did not win the tournament . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2019/05/moderation-hair-on-fire/

Recently the gleeful chants of abortion supporters echoed through the campus of the University of Texas San Antonio as students giddily sang, mocked, and danced through a pro-life group’s display known as the “Cemetery of the Innocents,” which is a dedication to the unborn killed by abortion . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2019/05/satans-dance-of-death/

A good friend of mind and my former Sunday school teacher came by Honey Lake for a visit the other day and after lunch we went down to Honey Lake Church. There in the reverent tranquility and quiet beauty of that beautiful sanctuary we discussed various topics and I brought up the number one question that I desire to ask God when I die and get to heaven . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2019/05/deadly-and-well-camouflaged-2/
