Evil’s goal is for the truth to be contaminated. - Dr. Tony Evans  

One of the things I enjoy when listening to Dr. Evans speak about something that is meant to go over our heads is the audience’s silence.  In that silence, you can hear someone who knows the truth. 

Dr. Evans: If you don’t have the truth, you may have to settle for being a slave.
Audience Member: uhoh 

What is the truth? A knowable absolute standard by which reality is measured. - Dr. Evans

How do you know if you really know the truth? You find yourself being released freed by it. - Dr. Evans




I also like how Dr. Evans anticipates your question. 
I remember not always having questions in class, but I remember more, hardly ever raising my hand.  When I did have a question, mostly about assignments, I had a patience with my question.  I hoped the teacher would answer my question in the explanation, I hoped the teacher would repeat the important parts of the explanation, or I hoped someone had the same question.  

I never liked why teachers wouldn’t repeat themselves, because of disruptive classmates.  I was always listening.  I do not like using absolutes, but that absolute is appropriate in terms of the student I was: obedient

My patience with my question was I would just complete the assignment more completely than my question.  

I was just that quiet.  

I have wondered “How?” about Galatians 3:28 years ago and Dr. Evans answers my question, here,  with the question in John 8:33.  Truth seems that way ♾.

Completion.

Thank you Matt for taking my picture.  There’s looking at you! I thought some things driving to the grocery store behind a truck and trailer.  First, Yes; that must be some good help in that cab.  Second, that's some well used scaffolding #mindofateacher Third, gratitude for the life of Jesus Christ and Him wanting to share it with me in Him  https ://youtube.com/clip/UgkxzXJyENvvL2pYAws7N3iWv_0Ebl5MCi--?si=mQefTiag4raNoHqP Third, Fourth,  (7/28/24 Thank you Lord God for Your gifts of prayer and promise and wonder of the extraordinary in the ordinary. 🐕‍🦺I am ending my final entry with the beginning of a 54 day Novena for two people I’ve never met, but by powerful mystery beyond my understanding, I feel strangely connected by prayer to pray for. For Elliot and Grace and in Thanksgiving for all holy friendship.  My favorite meditation so far…  I’ll begin the first nine days with a Friendship Novena, too, and try those 54 rosaries for the first time on...

Walk. Wag. Repeat.

Fit check!  My Nitto Nomad Grapplers arrived!  I waited years for these tires to arrive on the market to fit my vision and another year to fit the budget.  I am still creating my very own bumper sticker 🎣 and my vision will be complete.  My bumper sticker inspiration courtesy of “Beau”: I never stuck it on my dogwalking vehicles, though.   Thank you, Guardian Angel, for turning the wheel just right. I wanted to keep Beau’s gift of encouragement to me in a bumper sticker in keepsake condition.  Once upon a time…  But I would walk “500” miles  And I would walk “500” more  Just to be the girl who walked “1000” miles To up- lift her car. Thanks Chris for making my Barbie Jeep dreams come true.  #yourdreamsdontworkunlessyoudo they say. (One day I calculated I dog walked 52 miles/week.  Beau The Dogo Argentina’s mom raised my attention to the reality I had been walking on her watch rain or shine and on rare occasion snow for 2+ years. ...

I met Hebrews 1:3 today.  I have a feeling that Scripture is going to be my favorite way He is told.   My favorite way Mary is told is “the greatest enemy of Satan”; I don’t think those exact words are in Scripture but her receptivity is definitely that vibe.    https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/marys-enmity-towards-satan-was-absolute-8038    “On this planet we have a saying, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” -Transformers: Age of Extinction  Mary is the enemy of the enemy; therefore; Mary is my friend.   I thought about how quiet Mary is.  I have seen some images of her crushing the serpent under the weight of her heel while holding Jesus as a baby.  I think that’s my favorite depiction of The Mother of God- Mary defeats evil holding infant hope.  That is mysterious power.  I can sink my teeth into that kind of mystery, and I will want to.   https://nds.edu/blog-entry/mother-mary-warrior-queen/ I only remember ...
