The Secret

 

The Secret

     September 1, 1990.  That’s a good date for marriage.  Today puts our days together past thirty-four years.  Of course, being equally yoked and with Jesus as hope of change, puts an immense advantage.  Another component keeps the spin.

     I find Laura Anne Cvrk an incredibly interesting person.  She does not showboat herself, so I ask twenty questions while prodding her ways.  Whether it be in the kitchen or at the sewing table, she works her crafts and produces the goods.  I am commanded to dwell with my wife with understanding.  I am to pay attention to her.  Deliberately.  On purpose.

     One way I have found is to come along beside her.  We kid ourselves in becoming “Wonder Twins” (an old T.V. cartoon).  Church effort is a great outreach that keeps our house healthy, spunky with new thoughts and challenges.  A greater purpose puts us into service mode and becomes common talk about the table.

     So, I recommend husbands to investigate their wives and their reasons.  They are wonderful creatures.  God has gifted us them.

Jelly Roll

  Jelly Roll Leviticus 19:28  “ Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the  Lord . ” 1 Corinthians 11:14  “ Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair , it is a shame unto him? ” 1 Samuel 4:18  “ And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years. ” Matthew 7:17-20 especially verse 20 Matthew 7:20  “ Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. ”      Maybe it was America’s Got Talent or The Voice the other night.   Jelly Roll, in all his bigness, commanded the stage and sang a special song.   The camera did not hide it but zoomed in close to reveal his many tattoos.   Markings about his face and arms made him out to be loosed from a recent police lineu...

Sojourning

  Sojourning Sojourn: a temporary stay Hebrews 11: 8  “ By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9  By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country , dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10  For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ”      This indeed is a strange place.   I call my house T.L.A. or Temporary Living Accommodations.   In the Air Force, TLA housed those who were just passing through.   Like airman using the base as a skipping stone to get to their next assignment.   Hotels of sorts, they offered the comforts of home on a smaller scale.      We are a people set in Babylon.   Even in Sodom as we shut the doors as night.   This world so interferes wit...

Perhaps You Don't Know

  Perhaps You Don’t Know      Those present sat in the first pew, on the left and on the right.   The ring bearer was my faithful dorm mate.   Nearly my age and goofier to catch my sister-in-law’s eye, his antics spiced the military wedding.   We, known as a couple since high-school, were definitely going ‘steady’.   Mother-in-law held up the Panasonic cassette player to march the bride.   Proud Papa did say, “Her mother and I.”      It was a humble wedding.   A few were invited.   Even fewer braved the September roads.   The medium-sized First Christian Church of Aurora, Colorado let in the light.   Lack of air flow brought sweat under my suited armpits.   Finally, drops found their place to my forehead and I dropped to one knee.   Grandma thought I had already proposed previously.   A bit of confusion hung in the air until I stripped off my outerwear and got comfortable in the ...
