Happily, I invested some time this morning reading other bloggers. I happened upon this one.

Immorality in the Church – 1 Corinthians 5-6 – 2025 Day 242

If you click the caption above, the full page on her website will open. I have not met the author of this piece, but I have an appreciation for what I have read so far, and I hope you will find it helpful as well.

I also launched a new page here at The White Stone Blog today called Recommended Reading. I have no preconceived idea of how it will grow. It’s a place for me to preserve other blog articles I read that speak to me, writings that I think have merit, and are worthwhile for reading and sharing. I don’t know that I will announce here each one I add, so I hope you will periodically check in with the page. Recommended Reading.

Happy Labor Day, Treasured Friends.

Holy hugs, Kathie עֶבֶד

Labor Day

Observed the first Monday in September, Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. The holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being.

And so, since June 28, 1894, Labor Day has been a Federal holiday here in America. The first Labor Day parade is depicted here:

And so, today, some will rest from their customary work, while others will attend their jobs as usual. As you would expect from me, I have to tie this to Scripture. For sure I do!😊

Rest. Because of the Unsurpassed Labor of the LORD JESUS, you and I have REST.
Rest from the labor of trying to save ourselves! We have and can continue RESTING in the Finished Work of Our Savior. That’s really good news, any day, not just today!

Matthew 11: 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. KJV

So I have to ask, are you laboring today or resting?

We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
