Good morning, dear ones.

It’s not raining at present, but there’s bound to be some in the course of the day. I’ll be out in whatever the skies yield—doing a sawmill job at another location—slicing up a stack of cedar logs. Lots to do before I depart, so I’d better get moving.

May your day go well.

Love, Dad/Ray.

1 John 3:11-24
Focus: "We know we have passed from death to life, because…” 1 John 3:14.

What does it mean to pass “from death to life?” John gives amplification of this wonderful transition opportunity from several angles. As I go over his presentation in today’s reading that deals with that question, I think I have come up with a pretty decent sermon outline of 6 main points. Are you ready for a sermon?

“The man who says he is just as good as half the folk
in the church seldom specifies which half.”
