And weary seekers of the best,
We come back laden from our quest,
To find that all the sages said—
Is in the Book our mothers read.

My Choice of Apple Watch Model to Order

My Apple Watch Choice:
A 38mm sapphire glass screen watch with a classic leather band
A local police officer was assigned for security duties inside the Apple Store I visited today. I spotted him using a Samsung! What irony. He sheepishly admitted he would go for an iPhone when his contract expires. After I'd selected the Apple Watch model, I took the opportunity to shoot the breeze with him for a while.

I am holding off on ordering my Apple Watch online today, giving the delivery time for the watch has now been pushed back to between 4 and 6 weeks. If I'd placed an online order today, I might not be able to accept the delivery, as I will be out of town for parts of May and June.

Do You Believe This?

25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,

26 and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”

-- John 11:24-26 NASB


25 As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.

26 Even after my skin is destroyed,
Yet from my flesh I shall see God;

-- Job 19:25-26 NASB

The Riches of His Grace

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His Grace

-- Ephesians 1:7 NASB

Lord, Where Are You Going?

36 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered, “Where I go, you cannot follow Me now; but you will follow later.”

37 Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You right now? I will lay down my life for You.”

38 Jesus *answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.

- John 13:36-38 NASB
