The water dumped on Joseph’s head cooled the burning sensation from the shave. As the last of the water rinsed the soap off he felt renewed–like he was no longer a prisoner. The clean robe they placed on him was almost as colorful as Abba’s robe had been. The man in charge clapped his hands… Continue reading BEFORE THE KING

I'm a truck driver turned writer. My writing drives people to Jesus.
I love sunsets/sunrises, dark chocolate, coffee, cats and dogs (as long as their owners pick up after them) and solitude. My relationship with God through Jesus Christ is most important to me, not a religion. This writing gig is all God's idea. I only wish to bring more attention to Jesus with it.
Are you as tired of Christians who live by a double standard as I am?
Here’s my monthly humor video. This time I got as much mileage out of the grey beard that grew in this fall as I possibly could. Now I have a new appearance (that’s actually my old appearance) for the new year with its new attitude and hope fully a much better outcome over last year.… Continue reading Are you as tired of Christians who live by a double standard as I am?
ROYAL PREPARATIONS
When Joseph finished his morning rounds on the next date of Pharaoh’s birthday his mind still relived the dreams he interpreted. He slumped into his desk chair. “Joseph, you’re being summoned.” The jail keeper’s voice held its usual demanding tone. Joseph walked to the front office. “Don’t tell me those two are drunk already.” His mouth… Continue reading ROYAL PREPARATIONS
2014 in my rearview mirror
I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to putting a fresh calendar on my wall. This past twelve months came with more challenges than I planned for. I survived the extremely cold winter with flashbacks that reminded me why I moved away from Michigan. I had an extremely rude, unexpected visitor on March… Continue reading 2014 in my rearview mirror
24 MONTHS
“Joseph, will you come here? Please.” The jail keeper’s voice shook Joseph out of his thoughts. He ran to the front office. Two men slumped over by the front door. The jail keeper straightened the papers in front of him. “Here are our two newest residents. The alcohol took over and they disturbed Pharaoh’s party.… Continue reading 24 MONTHS
God So Small
God So Small One day Jesus, by a will that was His own, stood up, then stepped down from His eternal throne. He compressed Himself into a virgin’s egg. Holy Spirit came into the human race. That egg did grow to become an embryo. This new life began without sperm, don’t you know. The boy… Continue reading God So Small
GODLY INTERPRETATIONS
Joseph stopped in his tracks as he walked through the jail. Ahmed and Rashad were sitting in their cell. Joseph backed up. “Shouldn’t you two be in the kitchen fixing breakfast?” Then he saw them both staring at the floor. “What happened to you guys? You both look like you just lost your best friend.”… Continue reading GODLY INTERPRETATIONS
What’s a guy to do when he’s between careers?
Have you ever had a time in your life when you’re in between careers? I don’t mean in between jobs, those are too frequent, I’m talking a foot in two different fields practically unrelated. I can tell you from personal experience that it ain’t pretty. It’s draining. It’s mind numbing. It’s sleep depriving. And if… Continue reading What’s a guy to do when he’s between careers?
A NEW OPPORTUNITY
“Potiphar, I wasn’t expecting you..are we having a surprise inspection this evening?” The jail keeper straightened the papers on his desk. Potiphar held his left hand in front of him. His right hand grasped Joseph’s upper arm band. “Don’t worry. I wish this was an inspection. I have your newest inmate. This is Joseph.” “Joseph…Is… Continue reading A NEW OPPORTUNITY
Are you “over-Christmas-ed” yet?
Okay, a show of hands, who feels overwhelmed by all that’s involved with Christmas in the 21st century already? Last year I took advantage of some discount incentives that were sent to me voluntarily from the store across the street from my apartment. I walked over shortly after they opened on Thanksgiving day and found… Continue reading Are you “over-Christmas-ed” yet?
