Remain Joyful August 20, 2025

We’ll praise God,
in the middle of all things,
good or bad
if we believe God
works all things to the good
for those who believe.
Thank God
for everything, be always joyful,
and pray continually.
This is how,
God desires
for His children in Christ Jesus
to live.
The single qualification
to be eligible for God’s help
is to be in trouble.

In “Total Salvation” S5 / E17 of I Took a Right Turn: First comes the weather report and our usual back and forth leading up to sharing a few songs: I’ve Got the Joy Joy Joy, River of Life, and Joy is the Flag. And of course, another of our home-grown songs: Tears of Joy. Moving on to our Bible study we look at I Peter 1:3-9 where we see that since Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life in Him. After this Robert reads the poem “Remain Joyful” from his second book of poetry, Floating Through Time. Each episode this season includes a poem from this book.

Turn Around God is There August 13, 2025

When the sun sets
it appears to be gone,
but we know,
it isn’t really gone,
we just aren’t facing it.
It’s the same,
when we feel
abandoned by God.
He hasn’t gone anywhere,
we just
aren’t looking at Him.

Trying to get something for nothing or running up bills we can never pay makes as much sense as trying to walk on air.
