The Older Brother
The idea for naming this blog came from the parable Jesus told about the lost son (also known as the prodigal son) recorded by Luke in The Gospel of Luke chapter 15. You can find the text here at biblegateway.com.
This page is a collection of links of my blog entries about this parable and the two sons in it. Of course, if you have not noticed, I tend to associate myself with the older of the two brothers. I am not proud of that. However, God is still working on me.

hi, i loved your blog!
check out mine at http://scripture4u.wordpress.com
I enjoyed reading your blog and how close your life has intersected mine. I was born in Memphis in 1952–and I was raised in Tullahoma. I went to dental school in Memphis in the mid 70’s. My first job after dental school was working for an organization on the Tech campus but I traveled to mostly Sparta and Crossville to work in public health clinics. Even when I lived to Cookeville I enjoyed riding a bicycle–and once we moved to Tullahoma I took up the sport even more. I ride many miles every year and enjoy it greatly. I am president of our local cycling club at highlandrimmers.org and a companion site is elkrivercentury.org which is devoted to our annual century ride. Also, I have been attending the same church here in Tullahoma for decades. Thanks for your story!

Thanks for your kind words Mike. I will have to try to make it to the Elk River Century some time. I need to both blog and ride more. God Bless.
Bart,
Thanks for the lesson last night. I always appreciate how you search the scriptures for wisdom and share it with us.
Mike
