Exalt is a word we rarely use in today’s culture. Probably because we don’t have much to exalt. Just to be sure we all know what is being discussed here I looked up the definition, like any good Webster would do. Among the definitions is: raise in rank or power; praise highly; make lofty or… Continue reading Be Still to Exalt

You Think I’d Learn
Thunderstorms are interesting events. They can be enthralling, dangerous and frightening at the same time. After driving through a massive one about a week ago you think I’d know better than to flirt with disaster again, but I did…only without the safety of setting on rubber tires to insulate me from electrical execution. One of… Continue reading You Think I’d Learn
Singer Songwriter?
I have an amazing opportunity ahead of me this week that I need a lot of prayer for. This will be a huge jump in my comfort zone. It could also catapult my life and career like nothing else. Or it will flop and never get off the ground. Kairos at Beto 60 is a… Continue reading Singer Songwriter?
WOW! I Have a Son
I have always wanted to be used by God to build His kingdom. I have repeated such a prayer in several forms throughout my life. I never told God how to use me, nor when. Sometimes there have been minor occasions of short impacts on people’s lives, like jump starting a battery on a cold… Continue reading WOW! I Have a Son
The Winds of Change are Blowing
It’s interesting driving around this time of year. Especially when I drive north or south. That’s when the scenery changes the most. The bluebonnets are out in full force from Dallas south. To the north they’re just starting to bloom. Redbuds are doing well in southern Oklahoma but not so much in northern Arkansas nor… Continue reading The Winds of Change are Blowing
I Just Knew It
Last week was a bit of a roller coaster ride for this truck driver turned writer. My writer side received the high point award while I delivered mattresses in Longview, Texas on Wednesday. Discount Mattress quickly became one of my favorite stops before this past week. It’s a family run operation…a mother-in-law daughter-in-law arrangement mostly.… Continue reading I Just Knew It
58 Orbits
I got older last week. I guess we all aged the same seven days, but mine had a bump Thursday that hits everyone once a year. I completed my fifty-eighth orbit around the sun. For those of you who are mathematically challenged that means I turned 58 last week. I hate to admit this but,… Continue reading 58 Orbits
My Ideal Partner
I belong to an online group of Christian divorced folks. None of us expected to belong to such a group, but here we are. The main goal is for encouragement as we all struggle with the various pains we’re going through. I don’t recall how I found this group or if they found me. I… Continue reading My Ideal Partner
Where I Stand on the Issue
Abortion (Yeah, I’m going there today.) is a hot button issue for too many reasons. Personally, I don’t understand why it ever was considered a good thing to begin with, but that’s just my opinion. I reposted the following photo on Facebook last week to commemorate the anniversary of Roe v Wade (I sure wish… Continue reading Where I Stand on the Issue
Grant Me Favor
Nehemiah approached the group of dusty men. “How are things in Jerusalem, brothers?” Hanani placed a hand on Nehemiah’s shoulder. “The folks are back from exile but they’re having a hard time. The walls of the old city are broken down. The gates are burned. It’s a mess.” Nehemiah’s eyes filled with tears as the… Continue reading Grant Me Favor
