I just prayed for 150 men…one book at a time

I first met Marcia on a Sunday morning. She approached me before our adult fellowship time and introduced herself. She said she noticed me a week or two before that sitting by myself. She said I looked defeated. This was a few years ago…after my wife left me and before I lost my secure job… Continue reading I just prayed for 150 men…one book at a time

Is Monday the 13th Really Unlucky?

Happy unlucky Monday the thirteenth Y’all. I have no clue how Friday the 13th stole all the thunder from Monday the 13th, but that’s what we have to live with in this fallen world I suppose. What makes this Monday the 13th unlucky to the uber degree is the fact that it’s the second month… Continue reading Is Monday the 13th Really Unlucky?

Just Me and Jesus

God has an annoying way of giving me writing prompts sometimes. Two o’clock in the morning seems to be one of His favorite times to do such shenanigans. Just Me and Jesus was set to a tune as I awoke in the wee hours one morning. The chorus played in my head while I drove… Continue reading Just Me and Jesus

Jim passed this morning

Life has a way of becoming stunningly obvious at times. Take last week for example. My driving assignments have slowed since the Christmas rush has subsided. Not to fear, the Apainter Paul is getting some big painting jobs he needs help with. Last week we were painting an exterior in Frisco. We finished the back… Continue reading Jim passed this morning

A DEDICATION REQUEST

Elkanah sat at the table after serving everybody. He looked at his favorite wife. “Hannah, why aren’t you eating? I’ve given you twice as much as anyone else. Don’t let the food go to waste.” Peninnah snickered. “I don’t know why you throw the food to a dog like that. She’s only eating for one.… Continue reading A DEDICATION REQUEST

Who Really Believed that Overgrown Underground Rodent Anyway?

As I recall Phil said there was going to be six more weeks of winter on February 2nd. You know…that groundhog in Pennsylvania. So why are we in the 70’s and 80’s here in Texas already? I’ve even seen where it’s in the 70’s back in Michigan…and it’s only the middle of the month. I… Continue reading Who Really Believed that Overgrown Underground Rodent Anyway?

This Week I Lingered at Linger

This past Friday and Saturday Stonebriar Community Church hosted the 2017 Linger Conference. Why do they call it the Linger Conference? I wondered the same thing until I received an email from the man in charge when I offered to volunteer for setting up on Thursday. The email came from none other than Chris Linger.… Continue reading This Week I Lingered at Linger

TELL ME MORE

A woman walked to the rock she chose for daily quiet time. Suddenly a man appeared. His face was almost glowing. “You are about to conceive and give birth to a son even though you have been barren. Make sure you don’t drink anything from the vine or eat anything unclean. Never use a razor… Continue reading TELL ME MORE

I’m More Valuable Than a Bird or Flower

I’ve been shang-hide lately for toddler duty by the fine staff in the early childhood department of Stonebriar Community Church. I don’t really mind it too much. I mean what’s a toddler whisperer going to say when asked to watch tots so their parents can worship in big church? This all started on the first… Continue reading I’m More Valuable Than a Bird or Flower

TESTING GOD

Gideon tapped the heads of wheat against the rim of the winepress. The pile inside looked like enough for about two ephahs. He glanced over his shoulder. I hope the Midianites don’t find me here. They shouldn’t since grape harvest won’t occur for a few more months. A minute later he looked around. He caught himself… Continue reading TESTING GOD
