Last Tool In The Box. 9/26/2025

 Good Morning, 

I will be traveling with a hot cup of Door County Maple Coffee as my wife and I drive to Door County. We will be celebrating our anniversary this weekend,

What a blessing I received yesterday!!! My phone rang as I was pulling into the driveway with a load of groceries. I didn't recognize the number and the caller ID was blank. The voice was somewhat familiar but I drew a blank until the caller said. "Hey Marty this is Hank!" I knew right then who it was and my heart felt good. Hank was a fella that I went to high school with and somehow we just lost touch with each other. Another buddy of ours got us in touch with each other after 50 years. We talked for about 30 minutes about our families, jobs, buddies, and girls we used to know. It was like old times. Except now, we have a greater common denominator, we both follow Christ. I asked Hank if back in the day if he ever thought we would be on the phone someday talking about spiritual things. We both cracked up with that one.  That alone is a miracle.

I will get to the lesson for today. I always feel it is good for us to share blessings when we receive them.

today is the last day on tools for your spiritual tool box.  

Fellas and ladies. Everyone should have this last tool.  It is in fact  an accountability partner. Someone who knows you well. Someone who isn't intimidated by you. Someone who will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Someone who will pray with you and for you. Someone who also walks with the Lord. 

Proverbs 27:17 NLKV As iron sharpens iron so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. 

James 5:16 NKJV Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed . The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. 

It would be good if you both could get together weekly in person or on the phone. Weaknesses should be shared and then accounted for in those meetings. 

Have a great day my friends. You are loved ! Get an accountability partner! You don't want to end up in one of my sermons. 

Marty
