David stepped out of his house and into the morning light. Men were fixing houses destroyed by the raiding Amalekites a few days earlier. Abishai approached. “Shalom David. Ziklag is nearly rebuilt. Today should about have it done.” David smiled. “Very nice, I’m grateful so many men put my roof on first. I didn’t expect… Continue reading FATAL NEWS

When is Dairy not really Dairy?
Coming from a farming background I always remember June is National Dairy Month. I guess that’s when the cows are most content, or is it contented? How many of y’all remember that ad? For those or you who either forgot, or don’t remember, there was a company that claimed their milk came from contented cows.… Continue reading When is Dairy not really Dairy?
UNEXPECTED LOSS
Abishai walked next to David and matched his pace. “Are you glad we aren’t fighting against our own people?” David kept looking forward. “Of course, this whole time with the Philistines has been an experience I never imagined I’d ever have. Almost a year and a half of not looking over my shoulder wondering if… Continue reading UNEXPECTED LOSS
BEAUTIFUL ADVICE
Joab walked next to David. “You’ve been silent this entire trip home. What are you thinking about?” David glanced up. “Can’t help but relive that scene when I first met Samuel.

T’was the Monday after Valentine’s Day

Sometimes you just have to get the words out of you before you explode. Here’s a funny look at the post Valentine’s Day let… Continue reading T’was the Monday after Valentine’s Day
Are you as tired of Christians who live by a double standard as I am?
Here’s my monthly humor video. This time I got as much mileage out of the grey beard that grew in this fall as I possibly could. Now I have a new appearance (that’s actually my old appearance) for the new year with its new attitude and hope fully a much better outcome over last year.… Continue reading Are you as tired of Christians who live by a double standard as I am?
Are you “over-Christmas-ed” yet?
Okay, a show of hands, who feels overwhelmed by all that’s involved with Christmas in the 21st century already? Last year I took advantage of some discount incentives that were sent to me voluntarily from the store across the street from my apartment. I walked over shortly after they opened on Thanksgiving day and found… Continue reading Are you “over-Christmas-ed” yet?
A TEMPTING TEST
“Oh, Joseph…” The hairs on Joseph’s neck stood erect. He glanced up from the notes laid out in front of him. Potiphar’s wife, Nephry is the name she preferred, stood in the doorway. The sheer gown she wore exposed more than Joseph planned on seeing. He looked at the gardener who was working details with… Continue reading A TEMPTING TEST
Oh Come All Ye Stressed Out

THE BROTHERS’ COMTEMPT
Israel limped over to his favorite chair and sat down. “Joseph. I have a job for you.” Joseph left Benjamin and came to their father. “What is it, Abba?” Israel placed his hand on Joseph’s shoulder. “Your brothers have taken the sheep to Shechem. I’d like for you to check on them for me. I… Continue reading THE BROTHERS’ COMTEMPT
