I always feel sorry for that poor guy named Will. You know, when in the movies, the person in charge says, “Fire at will!” Fire at will is a command given to allow the troops to fire when they are ready. They use their discretion and choose their targets. It gives the soldier a greater … Continue reading Pink Slip
Today my post contains one of my favorite words, vassal. I even did a post on it back in October 24, 2018. (https://godstillspeakstoday.com/2018/10/24/im-the-lords-vassal/) So when I heard this word in a movie the other evening, fief, I was led to investigate and use as a post. A fief was an element of medieval contracts based … Continue reading Fief

I have been taking it to a new level lately by witnessing what I am … Continue reading Things I’m grateful for

For others, it is being patient with family members who always knows how to push your buttons. Home really struck home with me this past Wednesday. I woke up thinking about … Continue reading Struck home
I'm sure it has happened to us all. Suddenly you see something that was right under your nose the whole time, and you say, “What? Glory be!” Glory be is an exclamation expressing surprise. Well, it happened to me this week. I was reading in John 17 and 18. John 17 is a beautiful prayer … Continue reading Glory be!
I am currently listening to crunching noises. We got a new box of beef cheek chews for our five dogs. These last a lot longer than the cow ears we used to get. The dogs each have their own particular spot they take their chew toy. If another dog strays into their territory, low, rumbling … Continue reading Guard
