I think….
I will get some rebuttal as well as criticism for this but I just have to tell it.
I have never (not ever) felt like I was the smartest guy in the room. Most of the time I am in the company of people that I esteem and admire. I am aware that sometimes our [...]

I’m a Citizen by Choice

Because I was not born in this country it became necessary for me to make a choice.
I suppose I could have lived here without citizenship. But when offered the opportunity be a citizen of this great country I gladly and eagerly jumped at it. So…I am a Citizen By Choice.
I love this country. I know [...]
My Turning Point
Posted in Uncategorized on May 23, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Sometimes I just wonder about what I am doing to make my part of the world a better place. Almost always I end up thinking about what I am not doing.
So today is going to be a turning point in my life.
I am going to call a forgotten friend.
I will drop an old grudge. I’ve been hanging on [...]
Sometimes I Need to be Alone
Posted in Uncategorized on May 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The word “alone” means to be apart from other people.
Sometimes I find myself alone because everyone has gone about their own business and I wasn’t included.
At times, it is my choice to be apart from other people….”alone”.
I like people! I enjoy people! I like being at events. I look forward to the crowds at campmeetings [...]
God Keeps His Word

As Christians we go through difficult times.
I suspect that sometimes it is because of sin.
I suspect that sometimes it is because of rebellion.
But sometimes, these difficult times come for no reason.
We can be assured that God’s Word of Grace, Hope, and Comfort has always been there for His people during hard and difficult times.
I am [...]
The Wheels Grind Slowly…..Sometimes

There are some things that came to my mind as I awoke this morning.
First, I am aware that things don’t always go the way I would like for them to.
Sometimes I wonder (mostly after waiting what seems like a long time) when the answer is coming.
So here is the principle to which I will hold:
GOD [...]
I Have HOPE

I believe that HOPE is a great source of motivation. I have often said that a person can live longer without food, water or air than he can without out HOPE.
Very little is undertaken or accomplished in our lives without some hope of success. To be void of hope is to be filled with despair.
Hope [...]

Thirteen months ago I was diagnosed with inoperable stage 3 lung cancer. The prognosis was anything but good. In the beginning I was told there was nothing that could be done. WE PRAYED! I mean we really prayed and then there was chemo, and radiation.
Three months later another catscan. Amazingly, there was some shrinkage.
Three months later, [...]
The Church is not a Rose Garden!

The church is not a Rose Garden
But it is God’s provision for us, and it is so much better than every alternative.
In the Church we are living alongside others who are also trusting God.
Encouraging one another – sharing whatever blessing we have with each other.
And, trusting God for His full provision.
But you and I have [...]
