FEBRUARY 19, 2026 Matthew 6:34 tells us: “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” (KJV) This passage is from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount --- in which He shared many lessons and guidelines He wanted us to follow. It sounds complicated, when we read it in the King James Version. That makes it hard to understand fully, let alone obey what it’s telling us. Because

March 12, 2026 Matthew 11:28, on laying burdens down. B.L.O.G.: I know --- it's been a couple weeks since I posted one of these. For this feature, the articles come as the LESSONS come. As I understand them more clearly . . . This week, my lesson in obedience came as a reminder --- of something God has been teaching me for a while now. Some days, it seems, I am a pretty slow study . . . Matthew 11:28 tells us: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy lade

MAY 14, 2026 We’ve all heard somebody say it at least once in our lives . . . “_______ ruined my life!” Let’s take a closer look at that statement. Somewhere along the way, someone did something to me, or made a decision that made a lasting impact on me. But, DID it truly RUIN my life? Personally, I have a few issues with that particular phrase . . . First of all, it gives an awful lot of power to a single individual. Think about it. Is it really possible that one

January 28, 2026 Eight years ago, when I created our All That I Am Today website, it was my response to a call from God. I cannot --- in all honesty --- tell you that it was IN response to His call. Why? Because a web site was NOT what He had told me to do. In late summer, 2017, I began hearing a message in my mind: “I want you to write a blog,” it said. Those words were spoken into my mind many times over the next few months. But, I knew nothing about blogs, so I p

February 4, 2026 Once we’ve started the journey to walk with God, He calls us to continue to grow in that walk. To draw ever-closer to Christ-like attitudes and behavior with each passing day. A tall order, to be sure. So, how do we accomplish such a challenging task? There are some methods you’ve probably already heard about: spend time in prayerful interaction with Gd; become familiar with His Word; get involved in a small group or Bible study group; and surround yo

Typed 4/10/2026 “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” (~ Jesus, to His disciples; Mark 6:31) I don’t know about you, but obeying the invitation in this Scripture passage may be one of THE hardest things God ever asks me to do. More often than not, I wind up getting sick before I finally listen. In fact, I am just recovering from my most recent attack of “this is what happens when you disobey.” It has taken me three weeks to begin to feel hum

April 18, 2018 Welcome to Precious Legacy! For many years, I’ve been fascinated by the knowledge, stories, and experiences of the eldest members of our society. It seems to me that they’ve seen things I will never encounter. They possess a wisdom that can only come from living a long life. Proverbs 3:13-18 discusses wisdom in an intriguing way. Describing it using female pronouns, this passage makes one thing vividly clear. Wisdom is far more valuable than anything in the w

BJ Reese There’s a woman at our church named Ruby, who is in her mid-90s. I had seen her when I first began attending, but never paid much attention at the time. That is, until the day she traded a cane for a walker. Maybe I first noticed it because it was in my old high school colors: red and black. That would be the superficial reason – the one that made me take a second look. However, there was more to it as I watched her roll up to a table in the Fellowship Hall, turn t
