For those of you who’ve noticed I haven’t posted a new blog post for a couple of weeks, thank you for your prayers. I’ve been one super-hyper busy fella lately. Between driving and painting I hardly have time to breathe most days. I decided to resurrect a Thanksgiving poem for your enjoyment. I wrote this… Continue reading Thank You Heavenly Father-revisited

I Was In Some Zones This Week
Oh Yeah, I had another crazy week. I’m convinced that if I ever live a “normal” week I’ll think that’s unusual. Let me begin with an overview of the last seven days. I left for work Monday afternoon around 2:00 pm and didn’t see my humble abode until almost 7:00 pm Friday. I expected to… Continue reading I Was In Some Zones This Week
I’m a Visionary
Okay. I admit it. I’m stuck in my life. There. I said it. Now how do I change it? My life is becoming a bit routine in some ways. Ways I don’t like. As Eddie Rabbit used to sing I’m driving my life away. That’s not at all what I want to do with the… Continue reading I’m a Visionary
Who Are You?
Job picked up another pottery shard and scraped more dead skin off his leg. His friend ended his suggestion as to why Job found himself in this condition. Job shook his head. “What good is your nonsense to me now. I know as much as you do. God is doing as He pleases. He doesn’t… Continue reading Who Are You?
My First Flight
Do you remember the first time you flew in an airplane? I do like it was yesterday. Mostly because as I’m writing this on August 26, 2018 it was just yesterday I first defied gravity commercially. That’s right. It took until I’m 57 years of age before I actually flew. I knew I’d enjoy the… Continue reading My First Flight
Sometimes Clarity is Better Than Progress
There are three basic answers to prayer…so they say…Yes, no and wait. Since God isn’t One to be hemmed in by our parameters He likes to sneak in an exception once in a while. I think I received one this week…not this one. I suppose that could be interpreted as a no, but not really.… Continue reading Sometimes Clarity is Better Than Progress
Look At This
Hezekiah paced in his palace. “How much longer are we going to be stuck inside these city walls?” A knock on the door caught his attention. The door opened slowly. Eliakim stood in the doorway. “Sir, there’s a message from Sennacherib.” The king stared at him. “Is it from the Rabshakeh again?” “No, he sent… Continue reading Look At This
This Year is Half Done Already
Six months of 2018 are behind us now. Has this year been all you hoped it would be so far? Not for me. Oh, there were signs things would be changing. A few hopeful sparks rose from the fire only to sputter out quickly. A partial inheritance helped for a couple of months. Now I’m… Continue reading This Year is Half Done Already
I Was Part of a Miracle This Week
When the senior pastor of your church is also the chancellor of Dallas Theological Seminary certain unique opportunities become available to you. One thing that happens is many seminary professors teach adult fellowships at that church. I have the privilege of sitting under the teaching of Dr John Hannah, professor of church history at DTS.… Continue reading I Was Part of a Miracle This Week
What’s On Your Bucket List?
Let me begin by saying I firmly believe that it’s the role of the Holy Spirit to bring a person to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Only God’s Spirit can speak to someone’s spirit on the level of conviction required for life change. I also believe that, as Christ’s followers, it’s up to us… Continue reading What’s On Your Bucket List?
