Your Top Ten

The Top Ten Contemporary Christian Songs last week!

When the idea of this devotional topic came to mind, I googled "Top Ten Gadgets for 2022".

These are some of the items from the first link I clicked.
Gel Blaster
Air Glass with a monocular waveguide and spark micro projection
Gimball camera pocket 2s
Hunt 4.0 can be a refillable lighter, rechargeable flashlight or multi-function pry bar and hey it’s IPX-7 water-resistant whatever that is.
Fingears is a one size fits all ring that helps solve problems, cope with stress, practice applied kinesiology and just do tricks to fully enjoy life. (I couldn’t make up this stuff.)
Gamma Jacket is a special jacket infused with Graphene-a nano-lattice, hard as a diamond, but thin material. It has a smart customizable built in heater powered by a power bank. Here’s a perk supposedly..it’s antimicrobial and anti-oder.  
Sorry I gave it up after those. My brain was exhausted trying to comprehend most of those terms.

Technological terms are not easy for me to comprehend, because I do not invest the necessary time/training to become familiar with this unfamiliar vocabulary.  More about that tomorrow.

A couple of our televisions are on the blink and researching the different between smart/fire/LED/HD televisions, waterproof or not, and the amount of pixels had me sign off of the search in frustration after 30 minutes.

Now the Top Ten Bible Verses bring a lot more joy into my life!  Yet, I realize to someone who is not familiar with the Bible,  these may make no sense.

#1  John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

#2  Matthew 6:33

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

#3  Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare  and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

#4  Romans 8:28

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

#5  Isaiah 40:31

But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

#6  2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.  The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

#7  Matthew 11:28

Come to me, all who are weary, and I will give you rest.

#8  Matthew 28:19

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

#9  Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

#10  Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

What we put into our minds is what usually comes out of our mouths.  A fun dinner party idea would be to type up some top ten categories and ask your guests to share their top pick in each category and see if they made the list.  Then for the party favor, send a copy of the list (being sure to include the Bible verses) home with the guests.

(I am buying this one today for my walking  playlist, so if you see me out with some spunk in my step you may be able to guess what I'm listening to.)

She Fought the Good Fight

February 27 Bible Gateway's verse yesterday was: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him . 1 John 4:9 A fitting verse for the day my everyday friend, soul sister, monster of the faith and mischievous partner in crime, Kaye, left this world behind and headed to her heavenly home. My husband was able to be by her bedside and said he knew she heard the words of our faith that he shared. Her sweet daughter held the phone up to her ear so I could say good-bye and the brightest single star you have ever seen shown through my bedroom window as she exited this earth! Yesterday, my heart literally ached so badly that I told the Lord, "Take me too!" Wouldn't she have been surprised if I had snuck up on her in heaven and said, "Thought you were going somewhere without me, did ya." When we received the call she was ready to go, I called out to the Lord for comfort and He led me to the Bible Gat

Marriage Matters #1

One of life's deepest hurts is when the one you love is unfaithful. Forty years ago, I remember an older friend, whose wife had been unfaithful and left him for another man saying to me..."Boo, I hope you never experience having the person you love and are married to, living 8 blocks away loving someone else." Deep hurt. They divorced. The wife of another friend of ours was having an affair with a fellow church member and a neighbor of theirs who lived 5 blocks away. She moved in with this man and our friend said one evening he was walking by the house where they were living together and saw them sitting at a table having a candlelight dinner. Ugh. The torment. I've always said it would be aweful to find out the person you were married to and  loved deeply loved another.  Hmm. We are the bride of Christ.  Is He our first love? 2 Peter 2:14 says: They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed

Are You Sinking... Being Tossed About?

  A text came in from our neighbor recently, on a cold blustery day, when I was home with a stomach bug and awful headache. He said, "My canoe blew off our dock and has floated over to your shore."  And I'm thinking..."And you want me to do what?" I explained my husband was at work, but could help in the afternoon. I went to the window and could see the boat being tossed back and forth along our shore line. One minute it was close to our main dock and the next the winds had shifted and it was 200 feet in the opposite direction.  What I then realized is it had been taking on water. A text came again that he was in his car and driving around to our property.  Climbing out of my night shirt, I put on warm ups, UGGS boots and a hooded coat and limped outside to see how I could help. When I arrived to the shore line, the neighbor had tossed a 3 prong hook tied to a rope into the boat and was pulling it to the shore with one hand.  He had recently had hand surgery and
