My Best Years 9/26/23 RLB My favorite person in the whole wide world.Came into my life, like a flag unfurled.Twenty-five years, this day we did join,Our lives in marriage. Loose change became coin. There is no question, the best years of my life,Have been the years with you, my dear wife.Even the bumps we have…

Ezekiel 9:3-4 RLB 11/23/21 Like the Israelites in Egypt protected by the blood,Like the righteous in Jerusalem, escaping slaughter from above.We too are marked and sealed by the cross etched on our heart.For we died with him in baptism and raised to never part.Yes, buried with him in baptism, we’re raised to never part.

They Didn’t Understand (Matt.20:17-19 + Mark 10:32-34 + Luke 18:31-34) RLB 9/20/23 That day was cold and the sun was bright,as Jesus led the way.Following Jesus, we walked in awe,But we all were a bit afraid.Afraid because we were heading to Jerusalem,Not knowing what we’d meet there.You see our last visit, they tried to stone…

(Luke 13:31-35 – RLB 9/9/23) O, Jerusalem, Jerusalem. O, how you were just like me!Going your own way, doing your own thing, blind, unable to see.God’s pursuit of you, was hoping you’d turn, and look toward him.But, you chose to turn away, and never heard him call you friend.
