Solomon climbed on the bronze platform in front of the new temple, the crowning achievement of his young kingdom. The crowd before his was vast. He fell to his knees. The bronze sang a solemn note. Solomon’s hands raised toward heaven. “LORD God of Israel, there is no god like you in heaven or on… Continue reading IF…THEN

I Think My Identical Twin is Charlie Brown
I’ve heard it said that everybody has an identical twin somewhere in the world. The longer I live the more I’m convinced my twin’s name is Charlie Brown. Apparently Charles Schultz watched my life story when he came up with the idea for this fictional character. If he didn’t he sure could have. You remember… Continue reading I Think My Identical Twin is Charlie Brown
ONE WISH FROM GOD
Solomon led the delegation to Gibeon after his speech and feast. He paused when they crested the hill. The tabernacle Moses built always made him pause. They spent the entire day offering burnt offerings to God. Most were commissioned by the king. Others he did himself. The total offerings by days end was one thousand.… Continue reading ONE WISH FROM GOD
Oh Be Careful Where You Go
Here’s a surprise midweek blog post for y’all to contemplate. Why a midweek post? You ask.

Anoint him so he will save My people from the Philistines. This is what My people want.” The next day Samuel sat in… Continue reading HARD LESSONS
FIRST ASSIGNMENT
Samuel laid back in bed. The torch was still burning in the tabernacle. That was his assignment each night…keep God’s light burning. “Samuel.” He sat up and ran to Eli’s chamber. “What is it?” Eli rolled over to face the youngster. “What do you want, Samuel?” “You called for me. I want to know what… Continue reading FIRST ASSIGNMENT
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
How Did You Ring in the New Year?
Okay. A show of hands, who watched the ball drop on New Years’ Eve? If you’re in Idaho did you watch the potato drop? They actually do that there. The country bumpkin in me believes it. Full confession…I didn’t even consider it this time around. I witnessed too many midnights in 2016 to stay up… Continue reading How Did You Ring in the New Year?
A Look Back at 2016
Well, Christmas was a hot one in north Texas. We set a record high of 80 degrees. You can have your white Christmases. I’ve endured enough of them in my lifetime, thank you very much. Don’t feel too sorry for us. We did endure a couple of nights in the teens last weekend. I don’t… Continue reading A Look Back at 2016
