Growth Spurts

Growth Spurts

VineWords Devotions and More

For spiritual growth, the Bible is our measuring scale. It guides us as we go through life. Gaining knowledge from the Scripture is our protein, and grace is our carbohydrates. When we exercise these spiritual building blocks through godly living and prayer, we mature and grow as God intended.

The Recital

The Recital

VineWords Devotions and More

I would rather have been riding my bike. The moment of truth came as my name was called. I took my seat on the piano bench and play the song I had practiced many times. This was the moment! I would either see my instructor beam with pride, or cringe. The thought that my family, and practically half the town’s population was in attendance didn’t offer much comfort. I focused on what my instructor whispered to me as I placed the sheet music on the rack, “If you happen to hit a wrong note, just keep playing through the song.”

That is much easier said then done. …

Ben Cooper: Bookends

VineWords Devotions and More

In a cascading chain reaction, the books on my desk toppled over like dominoes. It only took the slightest bump for this to happen again. Tiring of this re-occurring issue, I got a set of metal bookends. Valla! Problem solved! The result was my collection of resource books were stabilized and no longer fell to the floor. As my collection grew, I moved them to a bookshelf. …

Ben Cooper: The Breath of Life

VineWords Devotions and More

The air is obviously cold, because I can see my breath as I exhale in my early morning walk to the barn. Most mornings, I don’t see my breath. But four months of the year I have a pretty good chance, as I live in the mountains along the Eastern Continental Divide. Those first few breaths on a frosty morning can be invigorating. It is visual evidence that I am alive. In years past, people would hold a small mirror to someone’s nose and mouth to tell if they were still alive. The mirror would register even the faintest breath, fogging over. …

Ben Cooper: No Place to Sit

VineWords Devotions and More

Prior to the coming of the Messiah, the priest had to repeat the same duties for the same people over and over, year after year. Those sacrifices were only a temporary fix to an ongoing problem. The High priest was constantly on his feet in service for the needs of the people, and no doubt he was worn out at the end of the day. ..

The Fruit of Faithfulness

The Fruit of Faithfulness

  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. ~Galatians 5:22-23a CSB “Come say ‘Hello’ to Mary.” Billy smiled as I approached their table. I was about to see the fruit of faithfulness.   I was sure she did not remember me. Her brain tumor had taken this once-talented artist and turned her into a shadow of her previous self. But as I greeted Mary, she shared the same gracious smile … Continue reading →

Don’t Crash but Listen

KITE TROUBLE Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. ~Psalm 1:1-2 ESV Don’t crash but listen was a lesson Jeffery learned the hard way.  The March day was brisk and windy, making it perfect for flying a kite.  “Dad, can you … Continue reading →
