unitybaptist.church
If you are a regular visitor you may notice the Other Blog RSS feed is missing in the left-hand sidebar. It’s not missing so much as it’s been replaced with a feed from Unity Baptist Church. Between this blog and managing the church website there will be very little going on at My Other Blog. Most of the posts on the church site are sermons that I’ve put up, so instead of posting them here as blog posts (which I’ve been doing for years) I’m just plugging in an RSS feeder. Happy Monday, devotional posts and the occasional Christian news item will be posted to The Master’s Table. Sermons will be posted on the church’s website and linked to in the sidebar. Just FYI.

Solomon was told to ask for anything and the one thing he asked for was wisdom. He was humble enough to realize the task of leadership was too great for him to bear alone and asked God for the wisdom and understanding in order to rule God’s people Israel. Think about the last prayer you prayed to God; what did you ask for? Continue reading

There’s a name for jokes this bad. Apparently they’re called “Dad jokes.” I’ve been telling these pretty much my whole life. Continue reading

Hope those aren’t work email. A dozen or so of those could be email pink slips but if they never get opened they don’t count, right? Continue reading
The Rain Falls on the Just and the Unjust
It is a rainy morning in NW Georgia, just like it is in much of the South and just like it has been for many days. As a matter of fact it has rained every single day for the past week. That’s good for the water table and our farmers this summer but rain has never been my personal favorite. Continue reading
