4-6-10 Tuesday, 6:55 am Grayrock, 65 degrees with wind advisories posted.

Audrey and I worked outside most of the day yesterday, as I brought in ½ yard of topsoil, and ½ yard of mulch. Geraniums now adorn our front garden, and I am feeling the effects of a day behind the wheelbarrow. It was fulfilling to work hard on this project and to stand back and see the good results.

Last night Duke beat Butler in a close game for the national title. It could have gone either way. And, yesterday was the opening day game for the St. Louis Cardinals, as they beat Cincinnati on Albert’s two homeruns and Molina’s grand slam. Now to turn my attention to the Word, and the present work of the Holy Spirit in these days immediately following Easter.

Deut 29:1 – 30:20
29:29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the revealed things belong to us and to our children forever, to observe all the words of the law.” This verse contains mystery and clarity. God has revealed to us through his word so much of his will and purposes and design for our lives. These two chapters of Deuteronomy, just prior to the Israelites entering the promised land, and at the end of Moses’ leadership have great implications for the faith communities of this generation.
