There’s that moment (maybe even a few moments) when everything in me is screaming, “I want an answer now.” I wasn’t screaming (out loud), I was endeavoring to appear patient, but inside I wanted an answer.
I had a CAT scan on Monday. Just the mere fact I entered the machine seemed to say, “I need [...]

Wait On Me….
Posted in Uncategorized on January 26, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Is waiting on God as hard for you as it is for me? I am sure many would say “yes”.
One of the things I am NOT GOOD AT is waiting. I am the person who paces the floor waiting for the microwave popcorn which only takes three and one-half minutes! (Do I need therapy? [...]
I would really like to ignore guilt!
Posted in Uncategorized on January 22, 2009 | 1 Comment »
As a pastor and counselor I simply cannot do that.
Of all the people I meet…some are bothered by guilt, some are not. Of those who are bothered by guilt some have tried to deal with it others have not.
The dictionary defines guilt as: a feeling of shame or remorse. It is the action of a person [...]
I’M THINKING ABOUT FORGIVENESS…
Posted in Uncategorized on January 18, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Much has been written about forgiveness. I think we begin to understand it best when we experience it in our own lives.
That moment when we are set free from the burden of the offense that we have committed or that has been committed against us. That moment when it works and we feel the [...]
Talk About Being Great
Posted in Uncategorized on January 14, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I have talked often about being great.
Great at what we do, what we say, what we think, and great at how we respond to situations. Whether those are good situations (or not so good) even terrible situations, the effort should be to be great.
Admittedly, much of the talk about being great has been to [...]
The Lord WILL Lift Me…

I’ve seen people have a health need, and they pray, and it goes away.
Financial need…and God provides the money.
It’s always great when that’s how it happens. But that’s not always how God works…
Ps. 55:22 says, “He shall sustain thee.”
Sometimes the Lord doesn’t lift the burden…sometimes
The Lord will lift me
We get bitter toward [...]
Yesterday’s Hurts….Today’s Emotions
Posted in Uncategorized on January 8, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I have met people who feel that life has not treated them fairly. Be it parents or a boss, a fellow employee or a pastor. They come laden with false information and ideas.
Now, because of this baggage they are unable to be a wife or a husband who can live without fear, guilt and shame. [...]
The Lord Will Stand By You
Posted in Uncategorized on January 5, 2009 | 1 Comment »
What the unbelieving world wants to know about Christianity is…..Does it really work?
When the chips are down….When the Heat is on…..When the pressure mounts….Can it stand the test?
When the storms of life come…..Does faith in God make a difference? Does it work in the realities of life?
The answer to both scripture and experience is a [...]
Welcome to 2009
Posted in Uncategorized on January 1, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I know, I haven’t been here long either. This New Year lends itself to many opportunities.
I have decided first and foremost that I will serve the Lord.
I was reading in the Gospel of John where Jesus said if any man will follow Him…he would be honored by the Father. So…it makes sense for me [...]
