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?
This Week I Lingered at Linger
This past Friday and Saturday Stonebriar Community Church hosted the 2017 Linger Conference. Why do they call it the Linger Conference? I wondered the same thing until I received an email from the man in charge when I offered to volunteer for setting up on Thursday. The email came from none other than Chris Linger.… Continue reading This Week I Lingered at Linger
TELL ME MORE
A woman walked to the rock she chose for daily quiet time. Suddenly a man appeared. His face was almost glowing. “You are about to conceive and give birth to a son even though you have been barren. Make sure you don’t drink anything from the vine or eat anything unclean. Never use a razor… Continue reading TELL ME MORE
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
The Donald and the Constitution
I’m taking a chance and diving into the political arena with this post. Humor will hopefully get folks to breathe a bit as they watch the video I recorded here. I pray the message of chilling comes through as much as the call for action to protect those without a voice. I’ve held my tongue… Continue reading The Donald and the Constitution
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
A Look Back at 2016
Well, Christmas was a hot one in north Texas. We set a record high of 80 degrees. You can have your white Christmases. I’ve endured enough of them in my lifetime, thank you very much. Don’t feel too sorry for us. We did endure a couple of nights in the teens last weekend. I don’t… Continue reading A Look Back at 2016
