Abraham paced in his tent thinking about that day’s events before he went to sleep. God’s voice was clear. “Abraham.” Abraham looked around, then up. “Yes, God. I’m here.” “Take your son, Isaac, whom you love. Abraham smiled at the thought of Isaac, his miracle son. Laughter was such a fitting name for him. “Go… Continue reading THE MOST EXTREME REQUEST

LAUGHTER FOLLOWED BY A DISMISSAL
Abraham smiled broadly as Jesus approached. Jesus’s smile was just as big. “So, how’s that baby boy doing?” “He’s just finishing up another feeding. Sarah will let us know when they’re done.” One of Sarah’s servant girls walked out of the tent and tied the flap open. She bowed to the men before she went… Continue reading LAUGHTER FOLLOWED BY A DISMISSAL
If Life was More Consistent I Think it Would be Easier
I still derive most of my income from driving trucks, eighteen-wheeler semi’s mostly. I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve come up behind a vehicle traveling slower than me. My inclination is to pass them when it’s safe to do so. More times than not the other driver speeds up before I can… Continue reading If Life was More Consistent I Think it Would be Easier
A DECLARATION AND A REQUEST
When the three men finished eating they stood. Abraham stood and followed them as they walked eastward. Jesus stopped.

A PROMISE AND A DENIAL
Abraham stared at the heat waves rising from the plains. His head nodded. “A nap would be nice, but the tent’s too hot.” A bead of sweat rolled down his side.

A REQUEST FOLLOWED BY ACTION
Abram strolled around one of his flocks of sheep in the cool of the morning. He tried to remember the size of his herds when he first entered Canaan. It felt like a lifetime ago. In many ways it was. Ishmael’s birth changed everything by giving a legitimate heir to hand this all off to.… Continue reading A REQUEST FOLLOWED BY ACTION
THE LOST ARE FOUND
“What have I done to deserve any of this? First, you take me from my home. Then you drag me to a foreign land. Now you force your husband on me. Now that I’m carrying his child you treat me even worse than before. I can’t take much more of this.” Hagar stared into Sarai’s… Continue reading THE LOST ARE FOUND
