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

Oh Be Careful Where You Go
Here’s a surprise midweek blog post for y’all to contemplate. Why a midweek post? You ask. Because my life is so crazy hectic I don’t always have time to write before my self-imposed deadline and/or I don’t have anything to write about. Well, Monday, while in Amarillo, an experience was lived through that makes for… Continue reading Oh Be Careful Where You Go
Do You Pray For Storms to Pass?
I don’t know how things are in your neck of the woods, but here in Texas we’ve been getting a LOT of rain lately. One of the things I like about living in this day and age is the ability to see where the rain is falling at any given time. I have this app… Continue reading Do You Pray For Storms to Pass?
PRIDE’S PAYMENT
David stared at his general. “Joab, I want you to go throughout the entire nation. Count all the fighting men we have.” Joab looked from the king to others in the room. “Sir, may God increase that number a hundredfold in your lifetime. But ,why do want this done? It’s a disgrace to God and… Continue reading PRIDE’S PAYMENT
HARD LESSONS
Samuel walked across the courtyard to rest under a Tamarisk tree. He stopped when he heard God’s voice. “About this time tomorrow Israel’s first king will come to you. He’s from Benjamin. 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
Is Anybody Else Under Attack…or is it Just Me?
My crazy life has been some kind of crazy on steroids lately. March and the early part of April were a bit slow. I’ve been needing that to get caught up from the Christmas rush that lasted into February. But, last week was one I’d rather not repeat any time soon. I volunteered to help… Continue reading Is Anybody Else Under Attack…or is it Just Me?
GIVE US A KING
Samuel watched a group of gray-haired men walking up the hill. “What do you need help with today?” One of the men stepped forward. “Your sons are not like you. They judge loosely.” Samuel tilted his head. “What do you mean by that comment?” Another man pushed the first man aside. “I had a case… Continue reading GIVE US A KING
The Donald and the Constitution
I’m taking a chance and diving into the political arena with this post. Humor will hopefully get folks to breathe a bit as they watch the video I recorded here. I pray the message of chilling comes through as much as the call for action to protect those without a voice. I’ve held my tongue… Continue reading The Donald and the Constitution
WE’RE DOOMED
Joshua waited for his spies to return from Ai. “So, what do you think? Can we take it?” One of the men nodded. “Ai isn’t anywhere near as big as Jericho. We’ll only need two or three thousand men to wipe them out.” Joshua nodded once. “Good. That’s what I was thinking, too. Choose three… Continue reading WE’RE DOOMED
Do I See What You See?
I’ve been doing a lot of traveling lately. I’m been all over Texas…from Houston to San Antonio to El Paso to Amarillo to Wichita Falls and all over the Dallas area this month. Outside of Texas I’ve been to Oklahoma City, OK, Memphis, TN, and Shreveport, LA multiple times. When a truck driver does that… Continue reading Do I See What You See?
