Stop that Pigeon?

Saturday morning cartoons were as much a mainstay for me as Saturday Matinee Serials were to the silent generation.  Dick Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines was one of my favorites.  The show focused on the efforts of Dick Dastardly and his canine sidekick Muttley to catch Yankee Doodle Pigeon, a carrier pigeon who carries secret messages (hence the name of the show’s theme song "Stop the Pigeon"). The cartoon was a combination of Red Baron-era Snoopy, Wacky Races(which featured Dastardly and Muttley in a series of car races).

I have forever been one to tirelessly seek, find, and attempt to implement truth that transforms life and community. I was not (and am not) a 'dastardly' person seeking to stop the message from getting to its destination.  As a boy I just wanted to know what that pigeon's message was!  He was the "good guy" with "the message."  In my brief life many have professed to me to know "secrets" to life and existence yet kept me at bay as to where they found their truth.  "The Truth" was ultimately found in their obscure resources or they sent me on an "endless" quest to "find truth" and I seemed never to get there until I found the Truth that found me.

My last blog entry was on July, 26, 2013, yes - 5 years ago. But now, as then, this blog spot is committed to not only finding God's truth but letting people know where that truth can be found so that all might draw and drink for themselves. The thoughts are not perfect, nor is the grammar.  But it is from the center of my being.

 A Bible verse from the gospel of Mark 4:22 says, "For everything that is hidden will eventually be brought into the open, and every secret will be brought to light."  Also Luke 8:17 says, "There is nothing hidden that will not become evident nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light."

Where is your well of truth?  I want to go there with you?  I invite you to help me (not follow me) "stop that pigeon" each week to discover God's truth and apply that truth to daily living.  I invite you to follow the One who is "the way, the truth, and the life." (John 14:6).  Let's smile, laugh, cry, and share our questions, comments, and old war stories.

"But I also have a message for the rest of you in Thyatira who have not followed this false teaching ('deeper truths, as they call them - depths of Satan, actually)." Revelation 2:24

"But it was to us  that God revealed these things by His Spirit.  For His Spirit searches out everything and shows us God's deep secrets."  1 Corinthians 2:10

Have a great week!
