Hey everyone.

Things have been very busy here at the Raleigh Podquarters, thus, the lack of updates recently. But hey, the busy has been of the good variety, so I am not complaining. I have been blessed with the way things have been working out lately.

On to business.

I just found a book review that will be of interest to readers of Jesus Pirates. The review is at the site, “Challies.com,” and is about a book titled, “Christless Christianity.”

I ran across a great post at The Higher Calling today. The subject of the post is isolation.

The author, Matt Dickerson, spins a tale that will probably resonate, at least a bit, with many. I know I can relate to parts of his story. The post, “Defeating Isolation,” chronicles Matt’s thoughts after his pastor pointed out that some in his church did not like him and found him standoffish.

The best part of the story though, is how Matt overcame and stayed true to his calling in the LORD. It is a pretty good tale.

Check it out, and have a great evening.

Argh!

I have found today a bit of a challenge. Nothing necessarily bad, just a challenge. We all have those days where old thoughts or patterns from our previous life creep in. The way to deal with these moments is to turn to scripture, as there all answers are waiting for discovery.

Remember, our walk with the LORD is a joyous experience, but it is not always easy. Learn to turn to the word when those challenging times arrive. After a while, it will become second nature. A habit worth cultivating.

So, what is my challenge today? Well, that is personal, just as your challenges are. They are between me and My savior, Jesus. But I will share a passage that has helped me today, and everyday. It is one of my favorites.

Luke 11:33-36 NIV
33″No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light. 34Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness. 35See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. 36Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be completely lighted, as when the light of a lamp shines on you.”

What is a passage that you turn to often? Do you have certain passages that help you through the tough times?

I do hope that you do.

Now, I am off to get back to my day, which is improving by the minute.

Argh,
Eban
