Truth interrupts

Emptiness grows. In the stained-glass halls of deluded prophets and shepherds. 

Those who speak visions from their own minds. Of their own making. 

Instead of delivering the true and unchanging Word of God. 

Reading Jeremiah, I see this. 

And watch how truth interrupts compromise.

Devotional Making Disciples Memoir

Take the time

My mother tells the story. Her dad was going blind. So every morning she or her sister would stop by the home where he stayed. And read the Bible to him. 

One particular day, Mom was in a hurry. On a tight schedule. She rushed in with no time to spare. Out of breath and talking fast. “So, Daddy, which chapter do you want me to read today?”

In his slow Southern drawl, Grandaddy said “Well, how about Psalm 119?” 

Me perched between my two grandfathers. Waxing eloquent, I’m sure.
