Its funny and ironic how a seemingly “small” and rather insignificant action or gesture can leave an indelible mark on numerous people. The following is a true story about my Grandmother, who unfortunately is no longer with us. May she rest in peace, and may this story also influence others Continue reading
Forty-one years ago, I was a naïve 19-year-old just beginning life’s journey. I do not like to brag but I was the poster child for naïveté. I had a few ideas about life but too few to make me a contributing member of the human society. What I knew about Continue reading
(Proverbs 6:6 NIV) Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!
Ants are amazing creatures. They can lift much more than their body weight. They have a structured society. They work together to achieve a common goal. They live to serve their queen.
If an ant Continue reading
I take a certain amount of well deserved, if I say so myself, pride in keeping to a well organized schedule; my to-do-list. If it is on that list, I am going to do it, regardless of the difficulty attached. The trick is to get on that list which I Continue reading
As I get closer to a book launch in early March, myself and my co-author are learning a lot about what people are telling us are the most influential Christians of all time (since the Apostles). Its been a great experience, and I feel I know more about my Faith Continue reading
(James 1:13-15 NIV) When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; {14} but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. {15} Then, after desire has conceived, it Continue reading
I am rather old-fashioned in some areas of my life, which I do not intend to upgrade to current standards. I do not believe in changing something unless it really needs to be changed. A crazy phobia is going around these days suggesting that if something is old, it must Continue reading
(Luke 2:10 NIV) But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
Everyone wants to be loved. God is love. Whether we realize it or not each of us has an innate need of Continue reading
It was one of those weeks where, if I accomplished anything that delicious slice of information has completely eluded the tiny gray cells floating in my cranium. It is not as if those little gray cells had anything else to do.
As I suffused my weary body into my La-Z-Boy Continue reading
(Matthew 25:32 NIV) All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
True love requires limits. Without limits love cannot be the freedom that God intended. It becomes license to do whatever the Continue reading
Cardinal
God reminds me of his great love for his creation by simply gazing out of my window. The birds flock around our feeder. Even though it is winter we have a Cardinal making his presence known with his bright red color.
The other day I turned to look Continue reading
God does not make grandmothers like He once did. At least not like MY grandmother. Grandmother never trusted such things as banks with her money. Someone once told my grandmother, “If you would put your money in the bank, they would pay you interest.”
With a confused look on her Continue reading
(Psalms 5:5 NIV) The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong.
Since the beginning of time love has been misunderstood. Jesus’ life brought the most clarity to humanity that we have ever seen. God’s word continues to define love for us today. Love is the Continue reading
He drops back and looks for an open receiver. No one is open, so he decides to keep it. He gets to the five, the four, the three, TOUCHDOWN!! We have all seen this scene and know what follows there immediately afterwards. Generally the player follows this with a celebratory Continue reading
