The 2nd letter to Theophilus

Luke paced his study. The new parchments arrived ahead of schedule. Notes were organized and waiting. Winter was settling in so travel for the next few months was out of the question. Time was on his side now. “Why is it always difficult to begin a writing? I know once I get into this it… Continue reading The 2nd letter to Theophilus

Some silly things I’m thankful for

As Thanksgiving day comes round again and knocks upon my door I’m thinking of some silly things that I am grateful for Like fire flies that make a light without a battery and squirrels that scamper on the ground then quickly climb a tree I like that grass stands up tall but is smooth under… Continue reading Some silly things I’m thankful for

Is everybody here like THAT?

I experienced an interesting day in Houston last Friday delivering windows. I spent the night there so I was somewhat fresh beginning those shipments. Since there were some very heavy windows and patio doors onboard I was given a helper. I’m extremely glad I had the help since my back was talking to me big… Continue reading Is everybody here like THAT?

I finally have my word for the year: PERSEVERE

Don’t freak out on me now. No, this isn’t Monday morning, just a Monday morning blog post from me. I have two reasons for posting this now: first, the subject matter of the devo post is too important to treat lightly–Jesus’s second coming; and second, my life is so busy with life at the moment… Continue reading I finally have my word for the year: PERSEVERE

THE WOES

Thadeus rushed to his room in the temple square. He removed the heavy scribe’s robe and changed into pain clothes. He pried the door open and waited until the outside conversation carried past the street corner. Once clear of the scribe’s quarters he worked his way back to the temple. Pressing through the crowd he… Continue reading THE WOES

Did you see the blood moon eclipse?

There was a unique stellar phenomena recently that I missed. It was a blood moon of ultimate proportions. “What’s a blood moon?” You ask. No, nobody cut the moon to make it bleed. Besides, green cheese doesn’t have any blood in it. Don’t you know anything about real science? A blood moon occurs when the… Continue reading Did you see the blood moon eclipse?

THE JABS

“If we can just get Jesus to say something we can bring up against the Romans we’ll have grounds for execution.” The priest sat back. A Sadducee stood. “How about taxes to Rome?” A Pharisee clapped. “I’ll take some Herodians to trip Him up there.” The priest nodded. “Do it.” **** The Pharisees and Herodians… Continue reading THE JABS

The fields are white for harvest, y’all!

On a recent west Texas delivery route I experienced two incredible things. One of them I hadn’t seen in quite a while. The other one I had seen, but not at such high temperatures. What can I say? I had too many long miles in the truck that day. The times are short for us… Continue reading The fields are white for harvest, y’all!

THE PARABLES

Thadeus nodded, not so much because he agreed with Jesus, but from how impressed he was by the way Jesus deflected every question, accusation and inference made toward Him. The crowd hushed when Jesus looked at the leaders and spoke. “Here’s another parable: One day a landowner prepared a vineyard. He built a fence around… Continue reading THE PARABLES
