Today’s Jumpstart
2 Kings 2:9-14
When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?”
“Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied.
10 “You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah said, “yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours—otherwise, it will not.”
11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind. 12 Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his garment and tore it in two.
13 Elisha then picked up Elijah’s cloak that had fallen from him and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. 14 He took the cloak that had fallen from Elijah and struck the water with it. “Where now is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” he asked. When he struck the water, it divided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over.

Articles to Sharpen Your Thinking
I believe thinking is becoming a lost art, so I share articles to make you think, reviews of books that may challenge you, and maybe even a traditional blog post if the mood hits.

Five suggestions for filtering out truth in a world of mixed messages. Saturday I read an article about Sweden’s response to the coronavirus from one of the news sources I trust, one which leans right politically.

How Pastors Are Thinking About Reopening
How and when should churches reopen as the Corona restrictions are eased? It’s one of the most challenging decisions church leaders have been confronted with in recent memory. Here are six views from six pastors in six very different contexts. About two weeks ago, a small-town pastor in Montana noticed that the governor of IdahoContinue reading “How Pastors Are Thinking About Reopening”
Growth Tools
It’s hard to walk the spiritual growth path alone. Here are some tools to help with the journey, whether you’re a new believer or an established follower.
Sermons
I preach 40 or so times a year at Spout Springs Church. This is where you can find the messages as well as some bonus content.
Books
I’ve been writing my whole life. I started with fiction, but in the past few years I’ve focused on helping people develop spiritually.
Not all those who wander are lost.
