The room must have felt small. Crammed with His followers, men who left everything to follow the Messiah. All their life they were taught the Messiah would reign. A new, strong Israel would be established. But, Sabbath made them pause. They could do no work, couldn’t travel back to their lake…home. The thoughts of what… Continue reading The Day In-between

NECESSARY INSPIRATION
David surveyed the crowd spread across the meadow before him. “I have a city-sized group here. What do You expect me to do with all these people, LORD?” He spun around when the sound of footsteps broke his thoughts. A man ran to him breathing hard. “Philistines…Keilah…threshing floors…” David grabbed his shoulders and tried to… Continue reading NECESSARY INSPIRATION
My Tribute to my Mom
A half hour into the date of February 27, 2015 my Mom walked into the arms of Jesus. A chapter of my life closed. She’d been in and out of the hospital several times over the past few years, so when she was taken back there Sunday the 22nd everyone assumed she’d return home. She… Continue reading My Tribute to my Mom
T’was the Monday after Valentine’s Day
I was pacing around my apartment with my mind whirling until I finally realized what the problem was. I needed a poetry blogging fix. Writers will understand what I’m talking about. Sometimes you just have to get the words out of you before you explode. Here’s a funny look at the post Valentine’s Day let… Continue reading T’was the Monday after Valentine’s Day
Sunday was just one of those days for me
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34 Sunday was just one of those days for me. It actually started last week and came to a head on Sunday. The good news is that I’m back to work. The bad news I… Continue reading Sunday was just one of those days for me
BEFORE THE KING
The water dumped on Joseph’s head cooled the burning sensation from the shave. As the last of the water rinsed the soap off he felt renewed–like he was no longer a prisoner. The clean robe they placed on him was almost as colorful as Abba’s robe had been. The man in charge clapped his hands… Continue reading BEFORE THE KING
Are you as tired of Christians who live by a double standard as I am?
Here’s my monthly humor video. This time I got as much mileage out of the grey beard that grew in this fall as I possibly could. Now I have a new appearance (that’s actually my old appearance) for the new year with its new attitude and hope fully a much better outcome over last year.… Continue reading Are you as tired of Christians who live by a double standard as I am?
God So Small
God So Small One day Jesus, by a will that was His own, stood up, then stepped down from His eternal throne. He compressed Himself into a virgin’s egg. Holy Spirit came into the human race. That egg did grow to become an embryo. This new life began without sperm, don’t you know. The boy… Continue reading God So Small
What’s a guy to do when he’s between careers?
Have you ever had a time in your life when you’re in between careers? I don’t mean in between jobs, those are too frequent, I’m talking a foot in two different fields practically unrelated. I can tell you from personal experience that it ain’t pretty. It’s draining. It’s mind numbing. It’s sleep depriving. And if… Continue reading What’s a guy to do when he’s between careers?
A NEW OPPORTUNITY
“Potiphar, I wasn’t expecting you..are we having a surprise inspection this evening?” The jail keeper straightened the papers on his desk. Potiphar held his left hand in front of him. His right hand grasped Joseph’s upper arm band. “Don’t worry. I wish this was an inspection. I have your newest inmate. This is Joseph.” “Joseph…Is… Continue reading A NEW OPPORTUNITY
