As I sit to write for Monday morning, we can confidently expect the morning will dawn – who it will dawn to shall be revealed.
As night turns to day As the sun’s rays streak across the sky, We have hope for a new beginning; we have a new and fresh canvas — what shall we paint?
Father GOD, thank You for each dear one who comes to this page, on whatever future day it might be and I pray their visits here will be fruitful – that they will find something on these pages that You can anoint and use to refresh their souls. I pray my words here will be understood and received as a message of hope even when You use those words for conviction and correction. I want these pages to be useful. I want these pages to encourage people to read Your Word and obey You day after day until YOU come for us. Amen and amen.
It’s a chapter to be read with keen awareness and devoted appreciation. Oh, how I would love to read it aloud to you with all the passion and thankfulness that washes over me.
I paraphrased the first two verses. Would you like to see them? Good.
Ephesians 1: 1 I used to be dead because of my sins and acts of disobedience. 2 I walked in the ways of theworld and obeyed the Ruler of the Powers of the Air, who is still at work among the disobedient. original source
The chapter goes on to say we all used to live this way; this natural, old nature with which we were born BUT GOD in His mercy and grace came and offered us more than just this natural sin-cursed life. He offered us through The Messiah Yeshua deliverance from sin, death, hell, and the grave.
Not many in comparison have said yes. Have you?
It’s been a quiet Sunday here at our lovely abode; these PJs sure are comfy.
The chiming of a stately Emperor Clock. The periodic shouts from the den excitedly articulated by my Boys enthralled in a ballgame. What kind of ballgame? I have no idea. Does it matter? :)
And then there is the sound of silence. It’s also a beautiful thing!
And Sights.
Shelves lined with books. Pictures here and there – on my desk and across the room. Precious people loved more than my next breath. Little Girl figurines, a repurposed vase once holding flowers my memory still sees. Cards received from love so dear. A Joy stone, found on a walk.
Oh! these senses of ours – let us give GOD praise.
Today like many days, I opened Youtube and today like many days, something caught my attention. Today’s attention grabber was a big one. Big enough that I am obligated to share it with you.
However, my sharing is located at Because We Need to Know — 2.
Here’s the LINK.

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?
