It’s time for a new series of posts on this blog. We’ve covered the Christmas and Easter events in a fictionalizing manner while devotionalizing them, too. We then went through the Bible and looked at the widows and orphans God showcased in His story of mankind. After that we found the teenagers, then senior citizens,… Continue reading GOD’S MAKING OF A GREAT LEADER

The migration of the Monarchs is on…the butterfly of course.
Last Saturday was one of those beautiful days we hold out for in north Texas. I call it a transition day because it’s between the heatwave of summer and the deep-freeze of winter. My workday began at 6:00 with a light jacket. By 8:00 the jacket came off. The shirt sleeves were rolled up shortly… Continue reading The migration of the Monarchs is on…the butterfly of course.
SENIORS’ SUMMARY
This book takes an amazing journey of senior citizens in the Bible. Let’s take a few minutes to see what we saw about them. We found not one, but two, aged couples who became first-time parents: Abraham and Sarah from the Old Testament, and Zacharias and Elizabeth in the New Testament. I sure hope God… Continue reading SENIORS’ SUMMARY
A LONELY REVELATION
The gavel fell hard and loud. “You shall live out your life in isolation on the island of Patmos. A ration of food will be delivered to you as needed. No visitors may come to you. Are there any requests?” John swallowed as he looked in the judge’s eyes. “Only one, your honor. May I… Continue reading A LONELY REVELATION
A REMINDER
“But, I’ve never dictated a letter before.” Peter turned toward his friend. “That’s okay. All you have to do is keep some notes about what I say. It may come across as being in your own words. That’s quite all right. I want to get this message out to as many people as possible. I… Continue reading A REMINDER

My walk with God in Plano
We recently celebrated a holiday in the US known as Labor Day. Even though it’s called that most of us get a government-issued paid day off from our normal form of labor. I took full advantage of this three-day weekend. After pushing through in the month of August to get a proposal out I decided… Continue reading My walk with God in Plano
A PROPER BURIAL
“Are you sure He’s dead?” “A soldier pierced His side. He never flinched. The spirit has left Him. Yes, He’s dead.” “What do we do now? We can’t leave Him there. Tomorrow’s Sabbath.” Joseph looked around. His glance landed on the tomb he just had completed. “I’ll see if Pilate will give me permission to… Continue reading A PROPER BURIAL
The summertime price for living in Texas
August in Texas is a challenge for most of us. This summer hasn’t been as bad as previous ones, but we’re beginning to feel at home now. 97 degrees is the average high temperature for this time of year. I’m grateful for every day we’ve stayed below 90 thus far. We’ve been near or at… Continue reading The summertime price for living in Texas
