Let me begin by saying I firmly believe that it’s the role of the Holy Spirit to bring a person to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Only God’s Spirit can speak to someone’s spirit on the level of conviction required for life change. I also believe that, as Christ’s followers, it’s up to us… Continue reading What’s On Your Bucket List?

I’m a Recruiter for Kairos
Since I lived to tell about my first weekend in prison others think they want to join me. I guess that makes me a leader. I’ve led by example before but not to this extent. I hate seeing trash in the city park I run in. So, instead of looking at it I stop and… Continue reading I’m a Recruiter for Kairos
Forty Two Letters
How often do you receive a letter in the mail? No, I mean an old-fashioned paper and ink message that came from someone’s fingers directly. Not an email shot off a computer screen. Well, part of my assignment I accepted as a team member of Kairos #58 is the responsibility to hand write a letter… Continue reading Forty Two Letters
Have you ever felt like a punching bag?
Two thirds of the way through the Sermon on the Mount Jesus warns us that each day will have trouble, so don’t worry about tomorrow until you get through today. Last Wednesday afternoon held more than its share of trouble for me. The day began just fine. I made it to my first stop in… Continue reading Have you ever felt like a punching bag?

I guess this all started over a year ago when Marcia said she might want to buy… Continue reading I’m Going to Prison…YIKES!
I’m a Wanted Man
Some days there just isn’t enough of me to go around. Being rather small in stature that shouldn’t surprise those who know me well. Last week was one of those times everybody wanted a piece of me…or all of me if they could. The Apainter Paul won a bid to paint the interior of a… Continue reading I’m a Wanted Man
I Want to be FAT
How many new year’s resolutions are based on folks losing weight? Too many in my opinion. If somebody really wants to become lighter they’ll change their lifestyle no matter what time of year it is. If someone, on the other end of the scale, wants to gain weight all they have to do is eat… Continue reading I Want to be FAT
I Saw Jesus Today
After my encounter with a homeless man in January, which you can read about here, I began to think about ways Jesus shows up in everyday life. By keeping Matthew 25:31-46 in mind I came up with four scenarios. Writing stories comes in many forms. Full length books are the most common way people think… Continue reading I Saw Jesus Today
I Took a Half Step Backwards This Week
2018 has been giving me quite a ride so far. Stranded in Corpus Christi a full day. More winter weather in one day than in the past three years. This week I had to go back to my former temp agency to fill an emergency run for a client that likes me too well. I… Continue reading I Took a Half Step Backwards This Week
