Well, register your guess now. Who will win the NCAA Men’s tournament? I’ve got two Big Ten teams in my top ten. I’ll revise this list as teams get eliminated.

Today is March 12. My mom and I talked with Bob today! He is speaking aloud and feeling somewhat better — still needing pain meds at times. The trach came out on Friday. He is in the Special Care Unit at Mercy. He can sit up more and is eating, but not sleeping well.

Coldspring Community Church, led by David Cooke, is hosting us this week at a lovely home. I awoke this morning to find a wild turkey in the yard, but he quickly figured I was watching and secreted away. Then we headed for Truckee by the north end of Lake Tahoe, but the weather folks warned…

I will use this post to explain the big picture of Peter’s emerging strategy, for in 1 Peter 2:11-12 Peter gives his strategy. It is here that Peter devises a strategy for how the communites of faith in Asia Minor can make an impact on their society. These two verses are then applied in 2:13–3:12.…
