Hi everyone – Mark and I just finished another podcast episode on TableforThree.live, and I think it’s worth a listen. The focus of this 14 minute episode is “peace”… a topic we’ve devoted a lot of time to lately. The passage is Isaiah 32:15-18. I’ll post the text below, and here’s a link to the interactive version of the passage in the Interlinear Bible. That’s what we use as we record these live and unscripted studies. Enjoy! Isaiah 32:15-18 (Holman Christian Standard Version) 15 until the Spirit from heaven is poured out on us. Then the desert will become an orchard,…
Podcast Episode 106 – What the Bible Says About True Happiness We’re all chasing it, but what does the Bible say about it. In this 5 minute Table For III episode, Mark and I launch into a series of discussions on the topic of True Happiness according to scripture. As always, when we dig into scripture – word by word in the original language – we find a wealth a treasure we’ve never noticed before. Come join us at the table as we launch the series with Psalm 37:7.
Mark produced this short clip from our morning bible study. We camped out on John 15:12 for a few minutes, and dug into the original language to better understand one of Jesus’ last commands: “Love one another as I have loved you.” It’s less than four minutes – I hope you enjoy! Toni
Stitches and Words

The first time I came face-to-face with Sherry was the doorway of her home. We had just purchased a house next to Central Park, and I had my heart set on custom-made balloon shades for my kitchen and breakfast area. No one was shy to tell me that Sherry Tulk was the only soul in Artesia, New Mexico who could tackle anything nearly as sophisticated as…
Going Gracefully
The art of letting go is a delicate skill. I don’t believe anyone comes into the world knowing how to “hold and release.” Letting go is a choice. It is learned, and very rarely does the one making the release get to practice before the test. Nine times out of ten, it’s a matter of swallowing the un-swallowable and prying a body part lose—whether finger-by-finger or heart-string-by-string. Letting go gracefully is a paradox among virtues. In every other instance of life—at least all the instances that I care about, passion is the key: the act of caring enhances your ratio…
