THE LOST ARE FOUND

“What have I done to deserve any of this? First, you take me from my home. Then you drag me to a foreign land. Now you force your husband on me. Now that I’m carrying his child you treat me even worse than before. I can’t take much more of this.” Hagar stared into Sarai’s… Continue reading THE LOST ARE FOUND

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

CHOOSING A REPLACEMENT

Peter looked around the room at the crowd. What seemed like such a large space for a meal with Jesus was now crammed with His followers. A man stood at the door searching until he saw Peter and John. He marched up to them. “I have news of Judas.” “He hanged himself. We know.” The… Continue reading CHOOSING A REPLACEMENT

I feel sorry for people who don’t have a relationship with Jesus Christ

A week and a half ago I had a spiritual experience that can only come from a personal relationship with God through the atoning work of Jesus Christ. It involved a semi, the stars and a familiarity with the Bible. It began with my agreeing to take another delivery run to west Texas. There were… Continue reading I feel sorry for people who don’t have a relationship with Jesus Christ

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

WAITING ON GOD book review and launch

When I learned my friend, Wayne Stiles, was writing a book about the life of Joseph I was thrilled. At the time I was going through Joseph’s life for devotional topics for my blog. It’s always fun to see how another writer sees the same portion of scripture. Wayne did not disappoint me. I knew… Continue reading WAITING ON GOD book review and launch

Spiritual journeys don’t need a lot of geographic space

I’m writing this post on Thursday, August 13, 2015. I should have started my day in Amarillo, Texas. God had other plans for me. His plans included a spiritual journey in my 700 square foot apartment. Last Friday I THOUGHT this week was all mapped out for me to work five consecutive days for the… Continue reading Spiritual journeys don’t need a lot of geographic space

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.

FATAL NEWS

David stepped out of his house and into the morning light. Men were fixing houses destroyed by the raiding Amalekites a few days earlier. Abishai approached. “Shalom David. Ziklag is nearly rebuilt. Today should about have it done.” David smiled. “Very nice, I’m grateful so many men put my roof on first. I didn’t expect… Continue reading FATAL NEWS
