I don't like soft, fluffy towels.  I like them stiff and scratchy from hanging on the clothesline. 

from John 13:

 1 Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.
2 And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God, 4 rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. 5 After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

Sometimes I'm more blogative than at others.

from Ephesians 4:

11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

Sometimes I don't follow my own advice.

from Proverbs 24:

  3 Through wisdom a house is built, 
  And by understanding it is established; 
  4 By knowledge the rooms are filled 
  With all precious and pleasant riches.

Two things must be confessed today:

1. Sometimes I have to explain my sense of humor.
   The saw blade pictured above represents a forced confession from an otherwise saintly person, I'm sure.
   
2. We've been home from Africa since Friday.
   I'm not done blogging about our experience though!

from Acts 19:

 18 And many who had believed came confessing and telling their deeds.

I iron T-shirts.

from 2 Corinthians 4:

8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— 10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
