I thought this was an interesting video. Perhaps you will too.
I was just talking with friends today, saying that I actually like Barley. For me, it makes an enjoyable breakfast. Blackberries, a little maple syrup, and some nuts only enhance the nutrition and the enjoyment, you understand. 😊 Speaking more about barley, here’s a recipe for barley bread. I haven’t tried it yet. Let me know if you do. That’s about it — see ya next time.
I planted myself on the deck today for some devoted time — much later than my usual, I won’t bore you with my sourdough bread story that kept me up late. I went out to the deck. It is not a fancy view, but the greens in all their majestic display made my whole soul breathe deep and smile.Â
And I said, Father, what must Your Home be like?! I am imagining He said, ‘ It’s your Home too. ‘ There are some passages of Scripture to support my imagination. I’ll get to those in a bit.Â
This planet is on course for destruction as we know it, and has been since the sin of man marred it. These thoughts were full of sorrow, but then came the glorious truth!Â
Man has indeed marred this earth. Man mars everything he touches, and will continue to do so for as long as man remains under the dominion of satan. BUT!
The glorious truth! When we who have been born again get to Heaven, we will not mar the place! We will not lessen its value! We will not deplete it! We will bring no harm of any kind or degree to that Perfect Place! Father GOD has and is continuing to build us so we can live there without sin, without doing any damage whatsoever to that beautiful place. The Place of Perfect Loveliness that exceeds the beauty here by eternity!  You do agree that this creation here is beautiful, right? Then, Heaven can only far exceed our best imaginations!Â
I am glad I came to the deck today! It’s beautiful out here, but HOME—well, we will see just how lovely it is one day soon. A day that will not end.Â
I picked a random month and year to go back and read a few of my own posts from here, The White Stone Blog, and I discovered that I set forth a thank you back in June of 2023. I think I shall repost it today.
If you came to this page yesterday, today, or any day, and if you happen by again, let me thank you for visiting The White Stone Blog.
And if you stayed long enough to read a page or two, thank you.
It is my earnest hope, Holy Spirit was able to use something written here to help you on your way to knowing and loving The REAL JESUS.
Yesterday (that’s Tuesday, actually, yesterday as I write today😊) was a day of mouth trauma; today (Wednesday) is the first day of recovery.
I went to the dentist expecting one thing and came home with an unplanned vacancy. Not the temporary bridge I was expecting. Now we wait. Six weeks, they say.
I’m not complaining, just explaining why there wasn’t a post for you this morning, which will now be yesterday morning when you get this post. 😊 Maybe I should put it this way: Did you notice there was no new post on Wednesday morning?
As I realized this afternoon (Wednesday) that I had not scheduled a post to go live this morning, I couldn’t let that stand. Hence, the late afternoon post, this afternoon, which is Wednesday. 🤓 You can view it by clickinghere.
So, I’ll ask again, what day is it?
This is now Thursday, right? And I’m at work, right? Thank you for humoring me.
I could go on with some more silly stuff like ducks in a row, etc., etc. But I won’t.Â
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?
