Grace from the wife is always nice

It was her birthday and she let me and our friend Jason hang out and watch seven hours of the Masters.

It was an epic competition with a great ending.

So nice of my wife to allow that to happen.

It was really amazing the fact that you watch everything instantly.

The pros and the cons.

You know the good and bad .

You witness the action and the results.

Phil Mickelson had an awful hole and ended up with a 6 on a par 3 that killed his chances.

He still fought back but it wasn’t enough.

Words are nothing without action.

There was a eunuch who heard one of the disciples talking about this scripture…

“Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter
and like a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he opens not his mouth.
In his humiliation justice was denied him.
Who can describe his generation?
For his life is taken away from the earth.”  (Isaiah 53:7-8)



The scripture was talking about Jesus and explaining who he was and what he was doing.

He mentioned how Jesus died for our sins and how he is the Savior.

After hearing this phrase, the eunuch story went like this in Acts 8:36-38…


“And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?” And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.”


Words can be nothing without action.

Phillip told him about Jesus and the man responded.

What do you need to stop talking about and start doing.

We (including myself) can live with the idea of talking about doing something rather than actually going through with it.

Take action in life.

If you never made a decision to follow Christ, today is a great day.

If you want to lose weight or eat healthier, start doing it.

The eunuch realized the message was nothing without action.

Quit talking about stuff and  start doing something about it.

Have a great day.
