Welcome to Index Page of recent "bits from bob" articles
Notes: In 2017, with the encouragement of several people who had enjoyed my written "bits from bob" articles during my years in ministry, I resumed writing "bits" articles. Due to my heavy mission travel schedule, I did not write articles regularly in 2017-2019.
In March 2020, the COVID19 pandemic cancelled my 2020 travel schedule, forcing me to continue my mission and ministry work via technology. I began writing and recording "bits" articles every week--with the exception of a brief break during the holiday season.
In April 2021, after a year of writing and recording "bits" almost every week, I took another break as mission activities increased.
Going forward, there is no schedule for writing and sharing "bits" articles, but you can expect new articles periodically.
Previous "bits from bob" articles can be accessed through the menu above, as can the series, "W.O.W: Word of the Week," which I began writing and recording in 2020.
