January 28, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, January 28.
The power went out at my house in Tenaha last Saturday morning, at the beginning of the ice storm. And it’s still out! Four days and counting. With temps down into the mid-teens, and no heat, we’ve taken to dressing like Eskimos. But the ice will melt, the electricity will come back on, and it will fade into a memory. All that will remain is the hole in my roof from an ice-covered falling tree limb. Oh well. Onward and upward!
There was one positive thing about the black-out. I had a chance to catch up on my reading. And I took the opportunity to go back to some favorite books, and read them again. That’s a great thing to do, re-reading a book. It’s like re-watching a favorite movie. And the second time around you always see, learn, experience something new.
Re-reading the Bible is a great thing to do, as well. I remember the first time I read through Paul’s Letter to the Romans. I struggled to absorb it, digest it, understand it. A challenging read! But, ten years later, I paid it a second visit, and suddenly the writing had a flow that wasn’t there for me the first time. I was able to “hear” Paul’s words, really hear them. The same, I’m sure, would be true on the second visit to Genesis, or Isaiah, or Luke, or Acts, or even Revelation.
So, pick one of your favorite Bible books and read it again. No need to wait till the next power failure.
Meet you back here tomorrow,
David
