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

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
Just Me and Jesus
God has an annoying way of giving me writing prompts sometimes. Two o’clock in the morning seems to be one of His favorite times to do such shenanigans. Just Me and Jesus was set to a tune as I awoke in the wee hours one morning. The chorus played in my head while I drove… Continue reading Just Me and Jesus
A DEDICATION REQUEST
Elkanah sat at the table after serving everybody. He looked at his favorite wife. “Hannah, why aren’t you eating? I’ve given you twice as much as anyone else. Don’t let the food go to waste.” Peninnah snickered. “I don’t know why you throw the food to a dog like that. She’s only eating for one.… Continue reading A DEDICATION REQUEST
Who Really Believed that Overgrown Underground Rodent Anyway?
As I recall Phil said there was going to be six more weeks of winter on February 2nd. You know…that groundhog in Pennsylvania. So why are we in the 70’s and 80’s here in Texas already? I’ve even seen where it’s in the 70’s back in Michigan…and it’s only the middle of the month. I… Continue reading Who Really Believed that Overgrown Underground Rodent Anyway?
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
I don’t have a word for this year, but I do have a verse
Facebook can be such a time waster most days. When I have the time to waste it’s no big deal. Okay, I admit to spending too much time perusing what folks are posting. It is a good way to keep track of what my siblings and their kids are up to. That used to be… Continue reading I don’t have a word for this year, but I do have a verse
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?
I Wish God’s Will for the New Year
I’ve seen a lot of wishes for happiness and good things from well-meaning folks. As a born-again believer I’m not comfortable in making those types of wishes. By taking a more eternal view of how God sees things I think you’ll see what I mean. Watch my video for a more thorough explanation. I’ll see… Continue reading I Wish God’s Will for the New Year
That Circadian guy was sure on to something
Have you ever heard of the Circadian Rhythm? No, not Cicada rhythms. That would be that incessant high-pitched buzzing sound we hear all summer long. I think I still have its echo ringing in my ears now. And no, it has absolutely nothing to do with music, unless you consider lullabies a part of it.… Continue reading That Circadian guy was sure on to something
