A week and a half ago I had a spiritual experience that can only come from a personal relationship with God through the atoning work of Jesus Christ. It involved a semi, the stars and a familiarity with the Bible. It began with my agreeing to take another delivery run to west Texas. There were… Continue reading I feel sorry for people who don’t have a relationship with Jesus Christ
The 2nd letter to Theophilus
Luke paced his study. The new parchments arrived ahead of schedule. Notes were organized and waiting. Winter was settling in so travel for the next few months was out of the question. Time was on his side now. “Why is it always difficult to begin a writing? I know once I get into this it… Continue reading The 2nd letter to Theophilus
Road rage set to a classic Christmas carol: Honk, your semi’s in my lane.
I was pretty sure my days driving in heavy traffic had settled me into a place of complacency. So, as a test, I decided to set up my camcorder to check on myself. When I broke into song I thought that was a good sign, until I heard the words. Please pray for me as… Continue reading Road rage set to a classic Christmas carol: Honk, your semi’s in my lane.

TEMPLE PREDICTION
Judas stepped in front of Jesus and pointed at the temple structure. “Have You ever seen anything so marvelous? The gold is incredible. There’s no better building for God’s house.” Jesus stared into his eyes. “Every stone you see here shall be thrown down in days to come.” The disciples looked at Him, then at… Continue reading TEMPLE PREDICTION
