That means you have an extra day to get caught up on those items you’ve been putting off, like going to the gym (remember that resolution?). I… Continue reading Happy Leap Day Y’all!

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

What’s more important the journey or the destination? Yes.

THE GREEKS
Philip scanned the crowd at the temple. He’d never been to Jerusalem except for feasts. It was hard to imagine the place nearly empty. He spun around at the tap on his shoulder. A group of foreigners stared at him. The man closest to him held his hand up. “Beg your pardon, sir. I didn’t… Continue reading THE GREEKS
STAY READY
Jesus looked at each of His disciples. All twenty four eyes were fixed on His. “Nobody knows the time for the Son of Man’s return. The angels don’t even know. Only the Father knows the day and hour. “You must stay ready for it to happen at any time. In Noah’s day people were making… Continue reading STAY READY
Some silly things I’m thankful for
