Normal for me is spelled Frustrating Chaos

For anybody who missed me, or this blog post anywho, this past Monday I have an extremely good reason for being AWOL. My computer/internet router/modem gave up the ghost at an extremely awkward moment. Let’s back up to last Thursday evening. I received an email from The Upper Room devotional folks about one of the… Continue reading Normal for me is spelled Frustrating Chaos

BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS

Thirty one days after Moses walked to the mountains Joshua entered the Tent of Meeting and knelt down. God’s voice was clear. “Moses is dead. Prepare everybody to cross the river and take possession of the land I’m giving them. As I was with Moses I will be with you. Nobody will defeat you. Be… Continue reading BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS

Bible Lessons From 2 Peters

Worship this Sunday was incredible. The music was exta-extraordinary, which for Stonebriar Community Church is saying a lot. We enjoyed the full orchestra and choir. They were hitting everything out of the ballpark. Even us regular folks were singing at full tilt, at least I know I was. Fortunately I had time to absorb hymn… Continue reading Bible Lessons From 2 Peters

A Voice From a Fire

“Come along fellas. We need to eat the top of the mountain and work down. Most of you know that.” Moses looked back. The sheep were following him up the trail. They settled into a high meadow with good grass. The sheep were soon content as they chewed their meal. A crackling sound caught his… Continue reading A Voice From a Fire

A Final Assurance

Jacob looked at all the carts, sacks of grain and animals before he stared at his sons. Simeon’s face was too sad for a proper reunion. “What is the meaning of all this stuff?” Benjamin walked up to his dad and grasped Jacob’s shoulders. “Joseph sent them. He wants us to bring you to him.”… Continue reading A Final Assurance

Military Bootcamps Have Age Restrictions for a Reason

I never enlisted into military service when I was younger. Now, I’m pretty sure I’m “over qualified” to do so. I say that because they have age restrictions in place to protect the enlistee and the government agency in charge. Very few 55 year olds can withstand the physical rigors of eight weeks of bootcamp… Continue reading Military Bootcamps Have Age Restrictions for a Reason

Heading Home

When Jacob walked by Laban’s sons he couldn’t help over-hearing their conversation. “Jacob got rich off Abba’s flocks.” “Yeah, everything he has once belonged to Dad.” “Why are his goats so much bigger than our goats? How’d that happen?” One glance at Laban and Jacob felt like the outsider he was. That looked carried so… Continue reading Heading Home

A DECLARATION AND A REQUEST

When the three men finished eating they stood. Abraham stood and followed them as they walked eastward. Jesus stopped. The others did, too. “I must explain to Abraham what I’m about to do since he must pass down My requirements of righteousness and justice to the nation I have chosen through him. Every nation shall… Continue reading A DECLARATION AND A REQUEST
