Now on to 1 Peter 2, which begins with “therefore” so we need to see what the “therefore” is there for. It begins in 1:22 which basically states that we, if we obey God, are purified. That is a common Bible theme. Of course the blood purifies us, but look at verse 22. It says … Continue reading The Katey Papers – 3

Hers was a brave act, these days, foregoing 6-digit employment to cook and clean for a handful of people.

What an amazing story this has always been! See if you don't agree: Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, so he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. When a woman who had lived a sinful life in that town learned that Jesus was eating at the … Continue reading Sunday Scriptures – Kiss
UNEMPLOYED! – Sent on Saturday Letter #4, part 3
Dearest Angela, Has my last letter soaked in, yet? Let me tell you what I’ve learned about the tough times: One of the best tickets out of hard circumstances is contentment. Contentment can breed joy. I do not mean that quiet joy that runs too deeply for detection, NO! Dan can use a friend who is … Continue reading UNEMPLOYED! – Sent on Saturday Letter #4, part 3
UNEMPLOYED! – Sent on Saturday Letter #4, part 2
Dearest Angela, How is it going, Sweetheart? I've thought of a few things that might help you.

CONCESSIONS – Sent on Saturday Letter #3, part 2
Dearest Angela, So, what do we make of it? Jesus forgave when He was crucified. So did Stephen, when he was stoned. So did Corrie ten Boom regarding the murder of her sister. In each case, if you study it, you will see the act of forgiveness connected to the imparting of Spiritual life and … Continue reading CONCESSIONS – Sent on Saturday Letter #3, part 2
CONCESSIONS – Sent on Saturday Letter #3, part 1
Dearest Angela, I just love your questions! Let’s see—do we women have to make all the concessions? Oh, no, not at all! Please understand that I’m writing to you only what you, Angela, can do. You can’t do one thing about the things God requires of Dan. You must understand that I am not writing … Continue reading CONCESSIONS – Sent on Saturday Letter #3, part 1
Sent on Saturday – Letter #2, part 3
Dearest Angela, Do you want to know what is easy? It is so easy, as a wife watching her husband, to want to change the channel. Some women, in reference to "husband watching" are real channel surfers. It's not funny, though. And some of us are just as tempted to hit the "escape" button, aren't we. … Continue reading Sent on Saturday – Letter #2, part 3
