Need a lifesaver? Ours walks on water!
From Matthew 14:25-27: “And early in the morning He came walking toward them on the sea. But when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, ‘It is a ghost!’ And they cried out in fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them and said, ‘Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.'”
This informative post will be published on Saturday along with my usual writing. You are invited to participate with the opening question.
A butcher in the meat shop is 5′ 10″ tall. What does he weigh?

Well-adapted to a desert climate, the Roadrunner lives in the deserts of the American southwest as well as portions of Mexico and Central America.
Here are some interesting facts about the Roadrunner:
Roadrunners can fly like any bird, but they prefer to sprint when hunting their prey. They are frequently seen darting across roads.
In a sense, they provide free pest control in the wild. Using their quickness, they easily catch their next meal. Each meal also quenches the bird’s thirst from the fluids found in the captured food.
Both males and females incubate eggs and care for newborn chicks. Each bird’s foot consists of four toes with two pointing forward and two backward.
Over the years, the Roadrunner has found a unique place in American culture. First seen in 1949, “Looney Tunes” and “Merrie Melodies” brought the Roadrunner to viewers in numerous animated features. Automobile manufacturer Plymouth designed a car, named the Roadrunner. In 1971, driver Richard Petty’s famous #43 captured a Grand National Championship. His superbird Roadrunner was designed to compete in NASCAR races.
To solve this tricky brain twister, study what you have to work with in the question. Since it doesn’t give any indication of the butcher’s weight, the word “weigh” must refer to something else. The butcher weighs meat!

The happy sequence culminating in fellowship with God is penitence, pardon, and peace–the first we offer, the second we accept, and the third we inherit.
From Ephesians 1:7: “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.”

Distant clap of thunder
Pausing as if on cue
Cloudy skies breaking free
Nightly reflections coo
At first, hearing silence
Nature turns on her spell
Nightly reflections stir
Stories ready to tell
Moon serenades landscape
Harmony’s silent creek
Timeless melodies swirl
Nightly reflections peek
Lake’s high tide rolling in
Whispers tease sandy beach
Nightly reflections wink
Drowsy thoughts within reach
Dreams never want to fade
Overcome now with sleep
Horizon’s sunrise waits
Nightly reflections keep
