Hai Kathy!! (((HUGS))) Whoo, just attended my first football game - Bronco's vs Hawks. Great game, loads of fun, sorry to see Hawks lose but everyone around us were great when they found out we were from Seattle and Frontier. Mon-Tue doing my thing in the box, passed the orals and written stuff. Wednesday off to Dallas for shooting fun.

How to Stand Firm
September 10, 2018
To him who is able to keep you from stumbling.
Jude 1:24
It was a cold, icy winters day, and my mind was focused on getting from my warm vehicle to a warm building. The next thing I knew I was on the ground, my knees turned inward and my lower legs turned outward. Nothing was broken, but I was in pain. The pain would get worse as time went by and it would be weeks before I was whole again.
Who among us hasnt taken a spill of some sort? Wouldnt it be nice to have something or someone to keep us on our feet all the time? While there are no guarantees of surefootedness in the physical sense, there is One who stands ready to assist us in our quest to honor Christ in this life and prepare us to stand joyfully before Him in the next.
Every day we face temptations (and even false teachings) that seek to divert us, confuse us, and entangle us. Yet, its not ultimately through our own efforts that we remain on our feet as we walk in this world. How assuring to know that when we hold our peace when tempted to speak angrily, to opt for honesty over deceit, to choose love over hate, or to select truth over errorwe experience Gods power to keep us standing (Jude 1:24). And when we appear approved before God when Christ returns, the praise that we offer now for His sustaining grace will echo throughout eternity (v. 25).
Father, thank You for Your constant care for our souls.
Dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne. Edward Mote
Assertiveness training often includes guidelines for approaching conflict. Instead of being reactive, we are taught to calmly articulate our viewpoint while showing respect to the other person, even if they are behaving badly.
In his letter to believers, Jude offers similar insights into how to respond to harmful influences, but offers a far more profound foundation. Responding to false teachers (Jude 1:4), Jude pulled no punches when it came to describing their behavior. He described them as people who lied (v. 10) and selfishly manipulated others (v. 16), concluding they were not living from the Spirit (v. 19).
But after exposing the false teachers dangerous character, Jude didnt suggest the believers respond by aggressively fighting against them. He suggested, instead, that they focus on their own spiritual growth. Instead of being reactive or returning evil for evil, as they grew deep roots in Gods love (vv. 2021), they could more naturally rely on the Spirits leading for how to best respond (vv. 2223). But in every situation, they could remain unshaken, anchored in the rock-solid truth of Gods love, power, and beautiful future for them (v. 24).

Today was actually COLD!...OK, not really cold, but after 3 digit temps for weeks on end 63 seemed frigid!
My grand nephew will be debuting at an open mike next Thursday. He will be playing bass with me on two challenging songs, “Riders of the Storm” and “Angie”, both of which have very specific bass parts which are essential to the song. He’s 16 and this will be his first time performing! :-)
