If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. — John 15:10
Just as Jesus kept His Father's commands.
And just as Jesus remains in His love.
But because we're sinful, Jesus paid the ultimate price for us.
He died on the cross and came alive again on the third day.
Now he reigns with God the Father in heaven.
The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. — Psalm 121:7-8
The Lord keeps me from all harm.
He watches over my life.
And my travels both now and forevermore.
Years ago Abby and I went to the fair together.
We got our picture taken in front of this tower.
So this year we did the same.
Such a beautiful day.
I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. — Psalm 16:8
I keep my eyes on Him each day.
No matter what comes my way, I can rely on Him to guide me.
With God at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
He has my back!
If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. — John 15:10
If we remain in his love, it means we have obediantly followed Him.
This is a photo of the Lisbon zoo.
What a beautiful day.
If we remain in God's love and keep His commands, we will remain in His love.
What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us. — 1 Timothy 1:13-14
A welcome rest from the work week.
Yesterday, our pastor gave an inspiring sermon from 2 Thessalonians 2.
And our Sunday school teacher encouraged us to share the gospel with others by getting to know them personally.
A rich day of teaching from God's Word.
God asks me to keep His Word as the pattern of sound teaching.
To hold fast to the faith and love of Christ Jesus.
To guard the good deposit that was entrusted to me.
To guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in me.
Help me, Lord.
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. — Isaiah 26:3
Even when our minds are racing furiously.
Even when the world around us comes crashing in.
And especially when our friends and family are going through tough times.
God's peace overcomes them all.
He keeps our minds steadfast.
And we trust in Him.

I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. — Psalm 16:8
But when I do, He helps me stand firm.
With Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
This is the classroom Kirk had last year before he retired.
The globe his mom gave him is on the shelf in the corner.
He forgot to bring it home, but he's glad the new teacher was able to put it to good use.
The posters are some of the ones his colleague Mary gave Kirk years ago.
Kirk left them for his colleague, the new seventh grade teacher.
He was very appreciative.
We are so glad Kirk is retired.
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." — Hebrews 13:5
God has blessed us immensely more than we could ask or imagine.
Today Kirk played one of his best golf games yet.
He played at Admiral Baker North this morning.
It's hard to believe just two weeks ago he was in the hospital.
God has blessed us with healing.
Here he is at Torrey Pines golf course
Today was just as beautiful.
All who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it and who hold fast to my covenant— these I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. — Isaiah 56:6-7
Today I went for swim at the Y.
Our church held a jazz service down at Waterfront Park.
Then Kirk and I went for a 2-mile walk around the neighborhood.
A beautiful day!
Praise the Lord.
