Good Morning! If you noticed that you didn’t receive a message last week it was because Carol and I took a little trip.  We spent last week in the Cayman Islands with Carol’s cousins, it was wonderful.  Sun, surf, and a great chance to read.  I missed you all and certainly am glad to be back, but time away is a good thing.  I love the snow of course, but what a shock to the system.  Running today was very different from last week.  Anyway, glad to be back.   Have a great day!

Jenny had the babies and we hope they come home this week!

“Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return home.”  Judges 7:3

What would we have done?  Gideon faces terrible odds, yet God assured Gideon victory.  We are with Gideon, do we trust Gideon?  Do we believe Gideon has a word from God?  How would we know?  A couple of things come to mind.  Have we prayed about what is about to happen?  Do we trust Gideon has a relationship with God.  We face these question in the service of God.  What do we do?  Do we turn away or do we follow.   A thought for today.

Yesterday’s question: Who was the first of Israel’s judges?  Othniel Barb Davis is our winner today.

Today’s question: Who was the first shepherd?
