I Don’t Like To Shop

My wife likes to shop. I don’t like it at all. I do almost anything to keep from having to walk through the store while she excitedly touches everything from socks to peanuts. Almost anything is better than trekking through store after store “just looking”.

So I checked to [...]

Most often, I don’t often speak out publicly against injustices . I gues that I am not that radical. But several days ago I watched in horror as the Ft. Hood terrorism report unfolded. Innocent people died! Heroes died! Hundreds are intimately affected.
If our faith is to have meaning at all, we must understand our purpose as [...]

My Resume

People don’t talk about the soul very much anymore.
It’s so much easier to write a resume than to craft a spirit.
But is a resume a comfort on a cold winter night, or when you’re sad, or broke, or lonely, or when you’ve gotten back the test results and they’re not so good?

I have to inspect my life by the Word of God. I am to take my values and lay them right beside His values and if they are not the same, then I need revival in my soul.

One of the  descriptive names that I often hear is “Tenacious.”  I like that one because it implies, “he is not going to quit or give up.” And, that’s true! I have no intention of quitting before it [...]

It seems that there are many voices competing for my attention. It is time to get alone and hear the voice of my Shepherd.
Sometimes God has to take me through a hurricane, earthquake, and a fire before I can hear His “still small voice.”
You know what? Having God speak to me is not the problem. [...]

Fear Not!

God is continuously instructing us to “Fear Not” and that makes me believe that I have the ability to overcome this very debilitating emotion.In order to do that, I think, I will have to identify the fears that hinder my walk with God and my openness with other people.
I think that once I identify my [...]

Drug use in America is epidemic, much of it an attempt to manage the pressure of life. Our land has more than 3 million declared alcoholics and many more that cannot face the day or night without a few stiff drinks or a [...]

At Calvary

Today, the words of this William R. Newell song really ministered to me.                                                                                                                                                                                  When we started our first church we sang this song almost every week. It was the only one Sandy could play on the piano and the only one I could sing without getting too far off key.
Years I spent in vanity and [...]
