Bob Eddy Answers

Every now and then I get something that the Lord lays heavy on my heart or something that I think needs to be said, so I decided to start my own blog so that I have a place to express my thoughts.  A blog is the perfect place to do that – whether anyone reads it or not – at least I was able to get it off my chest.

But where did I come up with the title “Bob Eddy Answers”? I’m glad you asked…

About 20 years ago, when my wife (Cathy) and I lived in California, we were involved in a Bible study with several other couples from the church we attended.  We met once a week and got together to go over the answers for the questions that were asked to help us understand that particular portion of the Scripture we were studying. My answers would always be 3 or 4 paragraphs while the others in the study would be 3 or 4 sentences. So when everyone else had given their answer, they would look at me and say “OK, now let’s have the Bob Eddy answer.”

So when I decided to start this blog, I needed to come up with a name for it. As I racked my brain to come up with something unique, I kept getting told by “Blogger” that it was already in use. Then Cathy said “Why don’t you call it ‘Bob Eddy Answers’ like they used to say back in our Bible study in CA. I thought that was a great idea – and nobody else was using it!!  

So here we go… some of them will be blogs that I wrote a few years ago. And, some will be NEW ones. I just hope they aren’t so long you don’t want to read them. And if they are, hopefully they will have peaked your interest enough to keep you going to the end. Thanks for reading!!

  1. Yeah, I know what you mean by "Bob Eddy Answers." I get the same thing in our home Bible study. Maybe we got it from Dad?

  3. After reading this post, the comment from Norm, and spending seven years with Nathan, I think making a "short story long" must be in the Eddy genes.
