The Key June 4, 2025

Posted by Dr. Robert Owens in Uncategorized.

The key to understanding the universe,

is to realize:

it was created by a personal God

and not the unconscious action

of an impersonal force.

Because God created the universe

outside Himself

it’s not just an extension of His essence.

There is a real reality,

true history,

cause and effect,

and individuals

who can effectively respond to him.

Trying to find a universal meaning

in our own heads

is like walking in circles

in a house of mirrors

and thinking.

“I’m really going somewhere.”

From the Book Floating Through Time

Available from Amazon

In “That’s Your Job” S5 / E6 of I Took a Right Turn: The Podcast starts off talking about the challenges we all face as we follow God.  Following this comes a well-known song by Chris Tomlin: Amazing Love, then a few older songs: I Know Who Holds the Future, and He looked beyond my Faults and Saw My Need.  And of course, one of our homegrown songs: There’s a Reason.  Opening to II Peter 3:8-12 we listen as God speaks through the Apostle and lays out exactly what we are to do as servants of Christ.  Robert reads another poem “The Key” from his Second book of Poetry, Floating Through Time.  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 forty books are available in paperback and kindle 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.

If we think we know it all we’ll miss it when God wants to teach us something new.

We’re in a race for our lives; intimate fellowship with God is the finish line.  Let’s run straight, run for all we’re worth, and receive all that He has prepared for us.

If I’d Known Then What I know Now May 28, 2025

When I was young

my father told me,

“Seek wisdom, get an education,

and make something of your life.”

But I refused to listen,

instead I went my own way.

Years later

when I finally heard what he said,

I followed his advice,

and found that he’d tried to steer me

away from many mistakes

false starts and dark paths

I made and toward a goal,

that ultimately

led me to

live a life

that satisfies me.

Thanks Dad.

In “Cheating on God” S5 / E5 of I Took a Right Turn: Robert and Rosalie start of talking about how important it is to listen to God, To wait to hear from Him and then wait for the right time to do what He says.  Timing, as is often said, is everything.  Next, they sing a medley well-known songs: He is Lord, This is the Day, How Great is Our God, and Amazing Grace.  This is followed by one of our homegrown songs: I Was a Dreamer.  Opening to James 4:4-6we see that our God is a jealous God and He wants our complete attention as well as our obedience.  Robert then reads the poem “If I Knew Then What I Know Now” from his Second book of Poetry, Floating Through Time.  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 forty books are available in paperback and kindle 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.

Secret sins aren’t a secret to us.  They are a cancer in our inner life and a barrier to God’s blessing.
