These last weeks have incorporated events from both the life of Mary Magdeline and Mary of Bethany.           Creative liberty taken, here is my goal:  To help answer this question, “How do we grow in love, adoration, devotion to Jesus?”           In the lives of Mary Magdeline and Mary of Bethany I think we have an answer, a model, our goal.            If the devotion of my heart can approximate to theirs my life has been a...]]></description><link>https://www.creativeadventure.net/post/the-tale-of-two-marys</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a1493b1d681fe01d168df0d</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2026 18:25:14 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>rossmantey</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the Tomb]]></title><description><![CDATA[It was still dark as her day started.  And her mood inside matched the darkness without.   It was over.  It had failed.  She had told herself not to have trusted or given it hope in the first place.  Life always had its way of throwing it back in her face.  Soon enough squelching any hope or happiness she had found.   And so here she was again.  Sad.  Disappointed.  Alone.   And in that dark, empty place They returned.   “Who is here for you now?  Who actually cares about you?”   “Ha,...]]></description><link>https://www.creativeadventure.net/post/at-the-tomb</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a0771074187691eea84ab9f</guid><pubDate>Fri, 15 May 2026 19:16:36 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>rossmantey</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Great Name, Greatly Inferior.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Bid Daddy Weave Lion and the Lamb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTUX8_ETIjc     I really do like the band’s name.  I think they would agree it really is inferior to the Name of which they sing.   John wept and wept because no one was found.  Now John has opened the door for us through his revelation that we might rejoice and exult because the One has come forward.

Something to help lead, guide, facilitate us into meditation, focus, rapture at the worthiness of Jesus.              What am I going to add to these words?              If our hearts, minds, and souls are not captured and stirred by this it is not the commentary of men we need more of.  It is simply that these words need more of our time and attention.

The story of a young woman who treasured His presence and His Word above all.  The story of a young woman pouring out the best of her earthly wealth and security because she had found a greater and longer lasting worth.  The young woman remembered by her loyal and extravagant display of adoration to Jesus.  And this same woman I think will be the one I seek out first upon my arrival in our Father’s house and say,...]]></description><link>https://www.creativeadventure.net/post/tell-of-her-too</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69fcf51b4f7ebdc9f6a76d6b</guid><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2026 20:26:03 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>rossmantey</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eph : Outline : Light]]></title><description><![CDATA[Ephesians 1:15-23 and 3:14-21.

A day of both enjoyment, and accomplishing something of purpose.   Walking into this night I bring myself.   Walking into this night I hope others will bring more than their self.   Why?  Because.  Because, my self brings a neediness that places me first before others.  Will anyone place me before their self?    My self brings a focus on me that forgets the concern of others.

A beauty that I think reflects much on the mothering and fathering they are receiving.   I shared some of a shift in me from worker and doer for God to lover and enjoyer of God.  Here is a quote that I felt speaks to that.   "The theme of the Song of Songs is the Bride's spiritual journey to be drawn near to Jesus in intimacy and then to run in deep partnership with Him in ministry."   Man, that excites...]]></description><link>https://www.creativeadventure.net/post/hey-jason</link><guid isPermaLink="false">698baac5d471d728ee6ccf2b</guid><pubDate>Tue, 10 Feb 2026 22:02:40 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>rossmantey</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
