And I wondered how the writer would reflect today. And you made that connection – Just like the mustard seed God’s mercy spreads out long branches to us – and no matter what goes on in our lives God’s mercy is stronger. We are like the sparrows dwelling in the shade of the branches of his mercy. And I am like his disciples needing the parable explained to me. You rock, Bob! Jesus rocks and he asks us to extend that mercy, too.

Thank you for such a wonderful and insightful read. I have to admit, I’m always a little sad when your writing ends.

Do you have a collection of your reflections in book form? If not…. maybe at some point? You have a unique talent sir. I appreciate all your thoughts and hard work.

God Bless you Bob….

The child died. Solomon was their second child. But still a beautiful lesson for all to know that there is never a reason to take life of a child. Thank you

of faith can easily fall into sin.The devil is at work,ready to devour us hence the need to be vigilant..The Psalms.very inspiring,that the door for us to receive God’s Mercy is always open,if only we can humble ourselves and ask for his forgiveness
