“Seventy years…” Daniel sat back and rolled up the scroll. “Let’s see, I was just a kid when we came to Babylon. Now I’m…it can’t be. Have we changed? LORD, I hope so. Please!” He paced on the roof of his house missing the noon meal while he contemplated what needed to be done. Going… Continue reading WE HAVE SINNED

The 2018 SCC Men’s Retreat is in the Books as Another Winner
I’ve been attending the Stonebriar Men’s Retreats since 2010. Every year is different yet the same. This year was no exception. I’m always glad when I can go with the set up team on Thursday for several reasons. The Christian fellowship is amazing and fun. The team changes over the years but the comradery is… Continue reading The 2018 SCC Men’s Retreat is in the Books as Another Winner
Some Good Deeds Don’t Turn Out So Good
Have you ever donated blood? I have several times. It’s becoming rather routine for me. Well, I was scheduled to go back on Sunday. The appointment was made when I was in for my last donation. Usually I’m given an extra week for my donation as a rule. I guess someone doesn’t know that unwritten… Continue reading Some Good Deeds Don’t Turn Out So Good
Do You Know What Manna Tastes Like?
God has me on a manna diet. He has for several years now. I seem to have just enough to get by on but not much more. I’m a truck driver so I drive trucks for my main source of income. I’m signed up with a temporary agency so I can walk away from this… Continue reading Do You Know What Manna Tastes Like?
I have the Best BFF’s
Social media…the term wasn’t even invented when I was a kid. What am I saying? I don’t think it was around when my hair began to turn gray. I wish I could go back to a life before email and computer stuff in general. Part of my rational for that sentiment is because computers are… Continue reading I have the Best BFF’s
I’m a Visionary
Okay. I admit it. I’m stuck in my life. There. I said it. Now how do I change it? My life is becoming a bit routine in some ways. Ways I don’t like. As Eddie Rabbit used to sing I’m driving my life away. That’s not at all what I want to do with the… Continue reading I’m a Visionary
Who Are You?
Job picked up another pottery shard and scraped more dead skin off his leg. His friend ended his suggestion as to why Job found himself in this condition. Job shook his head. “What good is your nonsense to me now. I know as much as you do. God is doing as He pleases. He doesn’t… Continue reading Who Are You?
Death is a Part of Life
When you grow up on a farm you learn two important lessons pretty early in life. The first lesson is that the work isn’t done until it’s finished, no matter what the clock says. I come across folks all the time who look at the clock and base that as to when they can quit… Continue reading Death is a Part of Life
And the Beat Goes On
The summer heat definitely hit Texas and surrounding states this past week…especially inside of a semi trailer while wrestling windows. The regular driver who took vacation time for two weeks couldn’t have chosen a better period, period. On Monday I had two stops in Dallas where I was in the trailer for well over an… Continue reading And the Beat Goes On
It Could Have Been Much Worse
I need to remember that any week leading up to a Kairos Prison Ministry event will be full of surprises and challenges. Last Saturday was the summer celebration event. Past Kairos inmates from any preceding Kairos weekend were invited to attend. Several of the volunteers who were at the weekend I was at joined others… Continue reading It Could Have Been Much Worse
