Spiritual journeys don’t need a lot of geographic space

I’m writing this post on Thursday, August 13, 2015. I should have started my day in Amarillo, Texas. God had other plans for me. His plans included a spiritual journey in my 700 square foot apartment. Last Friday I THOUGHT this week was all mapped out for me to work five consecutive days for the… Continue reading Spiritual journeys don’t need a lot of geographic space

I’m being squeezed and baked into the image of Christ

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. For those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers. Romans 8:28-29 You’ll never see… Continue reading I’m being squeezed and baked into the image of Christ

Happy Take Your Pants for a Walk Day!!!

Yep, you guessed it. I’m dried up on ideas to write about so I dipped into the Zany holiday grab bag and came up with a winner. Take Your Pants for a Walk Day should be very self-explanatory, but I know too many folks will come up with excuses not to take their pants anywhere… Continue reading Happy Take Your Pants for a Walk Day!!!

I can add a new title to my professional resume. I R a painter.

The financial road God has me on has taken yet another unexpected turn in my life. He’s had me on a strict manna diet the past few months. That means I have just enough income to cover my bills each month. I’ve had some spending money for a few added items, but very few. In… Continue reading I can add a new title to my professional resume. I R a painter.

Faith is like a muscle. I’m running with a limp right now.

Every runner knows there are times you just have to run through a pain. Most sore muscles work the kinks out with a little simple effort. BUT, sometimes a runner has to admit the pain is just too bad to ignore. I developed one of THOSE pains last week. Let me explain my unorthodox running routine… Continue reading Faith is like a muscle. I’m running with a limp right now.

My view of west Texas from behind the wheel of an 18 wheeler

I spent the last half of the past three weeks delivering windows from Ft. Worth to Wichita Falls to Amarillo to Lubbock to Odessa to San Angelo to Abilene back to Ft. Worth. That’s a loop of over 1,000 miles without leaving our great state. I noticed a few details along the way I thought… Continue reading My view of west Texas from behind the wheel of an 18 wheeler

Sometimes you just gotta scratch your head and say, “Huh?”

April 19 is a date that means a lot of things to various people. Some people lost a loved one from an event that happened some years ago. Other folks are maimed from a senseless deed that held meaning to the person who instigated the act of violence. Long before Waco and Oklahoma City stole… Continue reading Sometimes you just gotta scratch your head and say, “Huh?”

Your church will never top the service ours had this Sunday.

I attend what many would consider and old-school church. We don’t have a band making as much noise as they can to get anybody’s adrenalin pumping. This Sunday we sang hymns from a hymnal with an organ and a piano. Okay, our pipe organ is quite possibly the best one in the whole world, but… Continue reading Your church will never top the service ours had this Sunday.
