So, I’m no Sean Penn fan, in fact, he is so liberal I can barely stand to look at him, but recently he said some things with which I agree in a TMZ article as well as a couple of UK-based publications. Below is an excerpt from one article published by TMZ . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/02/climbing-the-stairway-to-heaven/

By the time most of you read this, my wife and I will be on a jet heading to Costa Rica for a month of fun in the sun and the enjoyment of fishing some of the world’s most bountiful fisheries. When not fishing we will walk the sandy beaches, stare at the azure blue oceans, colorful wildlife and tropical rainforests and of course take a siesta or two . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/02/join-me-on-a-trip-to-paradise/

Let me begin by saying to my Catholic friends that in last Friday’s post in which I said Catholics must pray through a priest that I was referring to Catholicism doctrine that requires that confessions be made through a priest which is indeed unbiblical. But as some of you wrote, non-confessional prayers are encouraged by the Catholic church. Even there they go overboard and encourage praying to Mary and Saints. The Bible tells us to pray directly to God, not to departed flesh. To those of you who wrote thanks for writing and allowing me to clarify my position and interpretation . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/01/what-rules-your-life/

Yesterday morning despite having stayed up late the previous night, I arose at my usual time, 4:00 a.m. . . . My heart was heavy as I immediately felt that my daughter-in-law needed prayer. I had not communicated with her in several weeks but felt an urgent need to pray for her. So, the first thing I did was pray for her, and it was not just a short prayer that I said in passing, but a deep prayer. The problem was I did not specifically know why God was urging me to pray for her . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/01/breathing-the-air-of-heaven/

I was on a plane one night several years ago and was seated next to a scientist. I was very tired and preferred to sleep; however, he was very talkative and preferred to talk. He won the battle due to his being such an interesting guy, so we talked the entire time of the four-hour flight . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/01/questions-that-stump-us-all/

Imagine eating a meal, but not being able to see it. Dressing in the morning but not having the ability to see the color of your clothes. Needing to have someone else drive you everywhere you go. Hearing voices but not seeing faces. Tripping over a pair of shoes left in plain sight on the floor. Navigating down a staircase in total darkness . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/01/imagine-2/

A friend of mine sent this commentary on The State of the Union: “In the coming New Year, 2022, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address will occur on the same day. This is an ironic juxtaposition of events. One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to an insignificant creature of little intelligence for prognostication . . . The other involves a groundhog.” . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/01/truth-and-patriotism-dinosaurs/

We are told not to worry in the Bible by Jesus Himself. Thus, to do otherwise is to sin. God knows everything about you including all your inner secrets, fears . . . everything! In fact, He even knows the number of hairs on your head, and He loves you. If you love God, you can be assured that He has a plan for your life, and it is a good and perfect one . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/01/shes-scared/

I went pheasant hunting in Iowa one time and we had a terrific hunt. Prior to taking to the fields and our first hunt, we decided to shoot some clay targets to warm up. One of my friends owned the farm and recounted a hilarious story about a guy that went hunting with them who was very arrogant. This dude could not say enough about how great a shot he was and on and on ad nauseam . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/01/firing-blanks-and-fighting-buckets-2/
