It’s a good thing God’s mercy is new every morning because I used up yesterday’s supply.

We spend hours each day watching TV, reading the news, and listening to music.  We spend maybe a few minutes each day in prayer, in the Bible, and seeking God.  And we wonder why our lives are confused, pointless, and lonely?

We shouldn’t laugh when someone falls, instead we should help them up.

When we close our eyes or shrug our shoulders to injustice, we might as well say we agree with it.

Flowers in a Field November 5, 2025

Remember,

summer seemed forever,

when we were ten years old?

That’s how youth felt,

while we swaggered

our way through it,

knowing it would last forever,

giving no thought

to the forever fleeting experience

of being:

young,

fit,

healthy,

and strong

Middle age creeps up on us

silently

as we’re too preoccupied

with work to notice.

By the time we acknowledge middle age

we tip over into being old.

Old age endures until it doesn’t.

Each new decade

brings fresh revelations,

of our mortality

until that frail mortality

is irrevocably proven,

and we step off the stage,

to the cheers,

the moans,

or the indifference

of the world

swirling around

our brief excursion

as a flower in the field.

He’s Alive! November 4, 2025

In “He’s Alive!” S5 / E28 of I Took a Right Turn: First of all we talk about what is on our minds today.  Then we share the weather report.  Next, we play some songs that have been and continue to be perennial favorites as we play at missions and churches: Victory in Jesus a good old song that has blessed people for years. After this we play a song made famous at many revivals: He Touched Me, and one of the most moving gospel songs of all time; There’s Room at the Cross for You.  Then we share another of our home-grown songs: Jesus Would Have Gone to the Cross.  Moving on to God’s Word, we turn to I Corinthians 15:12-15 where look at the pivotal role of Christ’s resurrection in redeeming us from the sin nature that condemns us to death.  Robert then reads another poem from his second book of poetry, Floating Through Time, “Flowers in a Field.”  Each episode this season includes a poem from this book.

The text of these readings is posted the day after the release of each episode at www.itookarighturn.com All of Robert’s more than forty books are available in paperback, Kindle, and Audible through Amazon. We also invite everyone to visit our online art store, The Pair a Docs Shop where we offer our original paintings, prints and merchandise.
