A Covenant From God
A few days after Abram won the battle to get his nephew Lot back home he dozed in his tent. God appeared to him in a dream. “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I will protect and reward you.” Abram’s deepest emotion surfaced in his dream. “Lord, I’m still without a direct heir. A boy born to… Continue reading A Covenant From God
A blog post/newsletter from a man with not enough hours in my day
I know I’m not the only person who needs more hours in my day in order to get everything done, so I’ll try to keep this short so you can find a few extra minutes in yours. Since this is February 1st I’m supposed to put out a newsletter for just my faithful subscribers. But,… Continue reading A blog post/newsletter from a man with not enough hours in my day
A Promise Followed by Waiting
“Do you think we’ll ever get to Canaan, Uncle Abram?” Lot looked from the full moon to Abram. “I have a feeling your grandfather has found his place here, Lot. Why else would he name it after your father?” “It’s as good a place as any, I suppose.” Lot walked back to his tent. Abram… Continue reading A Promise Followed by Waiting
A Scatter-shot Blog Post From a Scatter-brained Life
I don’t know about y’all, but 2016 has begun in a whirlwind for me. That’s what I get for being stuck between multiple careers at once. Driving and/or painting goes from 5-6 day a week to 2-3 days the next and back again. Somehow the bills are getting paid. The manna is just enough as… Continue reading A Scatter-shot Blog Post From a Scatter-brained Life
A Judgement Followed by an Action
Noah walked out of his tent to get some fresh air. His steps never felt heavier. He stepped on his shadow to the river. He steadied himself against a tree. When his knees hit the ground he looked up. “You know I never wanted children, God. This world is no place to raise a family.… Continue reading A Judgement Followed by an Action
A Warning Followed by Consequences
Cain looked at his brother with contempt. Abel’s bloody hands were raised in worship. Cain lifted a melon over his head. “This is from my field. I till the soil. It’s all I have. Why isn’t it enough?” God’s voice was clear. “He gave the first and best to me.” The melon was hurled to… Continue reading A Warning Followed by Consequences
Happy 1/11 Day Y’all!
Yep, it’s one of those wacky day posts I haven’t done in a while. “1/11” isn’t an actual special day from what I can tell. I just like the fact that there are three ones in the date. Sounds wacky enough for me. Let’s see where it takes us. The official day for this date… Continue reading Happy 1/11 Day Y’all!
THE 1ST RECORDED PRAYER
We’re taking a different course than I had planned for this blog. Instead of going through the book of Acts I’ve thought of another theme we can follow through the Bible. It relates to the book I have coming out soon. I’m going to find some prayers in the Bible and analyse them for our… Continue reading THE 1ST RECORDED PRAYER
What’s more important the journey or the destination? Yes.
Okay, I drove ALL night and didn’t get much sleep, so this could get interesting. Hang on tight. I had a Facebook friend–okay, so he’s possibly only virtual, but that’s better than nothing right now–send me a greeting just after the beginning of the new year saying something to the effect that he doesn’t want… Continue reading What’s more important the journey or the destination? Yes.
