STROKING ON
Monday, May 13, 2019
John 21:18 Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and
walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch
forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou
wouldest not.

2019, 5:45 I suffered my # 8 cerebral stroke. The worst so far since the first one
in 2015. After 5 days of wonderful hospitalization I’m home recovering with my
visiting son plus other in and out family and neighbors in attendance. ASAP I’ll
begin OT and PT out-patient therapy. After a weekend of rest I’m again stroking
this keyboard.
Though I didn’t
feel like and did not read or watch TV, I am now slowly interested again. With
this in mind I’ve decided to utilize verbatim paragraphs topically from the
most recent THE BEREAN CALL, T.J. McMahon’s comprehensive Missing the Mark –
Missing the Solution. Today I begin with paragraph 1:
“MOST OF US
understand that “‘missing the mark’” is one of the biblical definitions of sin.
The Apostle Paul uses the Greek verb hamartano
for sin in Romans 3:23 “‘For all have sinned, and come short of the glory
of God.’” That may seem to some as a bit unfair, since rarely would we think
that not measuring up to a goal or standard is sin. “’Missing the mark’” doesn’t seem like much of an offense,
considering most sins that we’re aware of, especially the horrendous ones. An
arrow that falls short of the target is sin? Seriously? To react in such a way
reveals much about ourselves and the condition of our hearts in relationship to
our Creator”
Any questions?
