A PLEA AND A PROBE

Isaac walked to his rock overlooking the valley he called home. He didn’t come to try to count the herds of sheep or goats. The cattle were of no interest today, neither. Instead of sitting on the rock to study his surroundings he fell to his knees and placed his forehead against the stone. His… Continue reading A PLEA AND A PROBE

Modern Technology Sure Adds to My Confusion

There are times I long for the good old days. Not because they were necessarily good. Nor because I was old then. Neither because they only lasted a day. Simply because things were simpler then. When I sent a letter it was usually hand written. Spelling mistakes were ignored by anyone who cared about me.… Continue reading Modern Technology Sure Adds to My Confusion

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

RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION

“Here He comes.” Thadeus nudged the fellow scribe next to him when he saw Jesus enter the gate of Jerusalem. They and the priests with them studied His every move.

How do people show they’re happy?

Here we are the last day of the month of August. I hope you knew this was “Admit You’re Happy Month.” No, well shame on you.

We should feel free to admit we’re happy every single day we’re able… Continue reading How do people show they’re happy?

I finally found my sign from God…or not.

I’ve seen a lot of signs from behind the wheel of various trucks I’ve driven for my occupation. Some are helpful. Others are funny. A few can be misconstrued. Here’s an example of a sign I could easily read as coming directly from God to me when it actually says something entirely different. I tell… Continue reading I finally found my sign from God…or not.

I can add a new title to my professional resume. I R a painter.

The financial road God has me on has taken yet another unexpected turn in my life. He’s had me on a strict manna diet the past few months. That means I have just enough income to cover my bills each month. I’ve had some spending money for a few added items, but very few. In… Continue reading I can add a new title to my professional resume. I R a painter.

CAPITAL CITY

David looked at each man in the room. Every one of them was mighty, God definitely blessed him there. “It’s time to move out of Hebron. The city is too vulnerable to attack.” Abashai stepped forward. “Where do you propose we relocate the capital to?” David smiled. “I want Zion.” A murmur rose in the… Continue reading CAPITAL CITY
