http://braingumdevo.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Friday, September 24, 2010. 8220;Do everything without. And arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God,. Shining like bright lights. In a world full of crooked and perverse people.”. Ok, I’ll tell you right now that I was ‘complaining’ today…and I was NOT ‘shining like a bright light.’. Here’s the situation. We arose from bed this morning to find that the a/c was not working in our apartment. It was going to be hot again today, so I promptly called the office.

Brain Gum: February 2011

http://braingumdevo.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Monday, February 14, 2011. Jesus…more than a box of chocolates! I make every attempt to get as much done in a day as I can. I try to schedule tasks, according to priority. On my calendar so that they are pretty evenly spread out through the week. If I’m not careful, however, I can place so many things in a particular day that nothing spontaneous can happen. That’s not always a good thing. It’s kind of like a balloon. There’s a limit. On how much air you can physically fit in there. 8220; Do not love.

Friday, October 22, 2010. God’s Shower Gel. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. His kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding. Have you ever showered with one of those aromatherapy shower gels? I’ve seen scents that claim to relax you, make you more alert, and even increase your sensuality. Regardless of the benefit marked on the label, there is yet very noticeable evidence that you used THAT particular product.

Brain Gum: Daily Maintenance

http://braingumdevo.blogspot.com/2011/06/daily-maintenance.html

Tuesday, June 14, 2011. The obvious lesson in this famous teaching of Jesus is obedience. Hearing and doing enjoy a sturdy foundation. And the converse is just as true…hearing alone without action leads to a foundation that changes with the ocean tide. But I want to look at this passage from another angle. What if there isn’t even a house in the picture? Without a structure there is no use for any kind of foundation! His Word (teaching) is the solid foundation…it NEVER changes!

Brain Gum: March 2011

http://braingumdevo.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, March 2, 2011. I had a moment just the other day…one that made me stop and think. You know the moments I’m talking about? As I began thinking about this a bit more, it reminded me of very pleasant times in my Christian walk…times when Jesus felt closer than normal. Don’t get me wrong, I have a solid relationship. With my Savior. There have been times, however, that He has been so present and active in my life that there wasn’t a single second that passed without literally feeling Him.

Brain Gum: July 2010

http://braingumdevo.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Saturday, July 31, 2010. The account recorded in Luke 18:18-23 is one that is probably familiar to all of us. Let me give you my paraphrase. Basically, a rich man asked Jesus a GIGANTIC question. “What should I do to inherit eternal life? 8221; Initially, Jesus answered this man with what he knew he wanted to hear…’You must obey the commandments.’ But then Jesus said something that shook this man’s world so dramatically that it moved him t o spiritual heartbreak. Must do to truly follow Him. I am the way.
