Elijah pointed at the prophets of Baal. “Surround them. Don’t let any of them get away. Bring them to Kishon.” The crowd of citizens did what God’s man told them to do after seeing His fire fall from the sky and all it did. Somebody picked up one of the knives a prophet used to… Continue reading Clinically Depressed

I Think My Identical Twin is Charlie Brown
I’ve heard it said that everybody has an identical twin somewhere in the world. The longer I live the more I’m convinced my twin’s name is Charlie Brown. Apparently Charles Schultz watched my life story when he came up with the idea for this fictional character. If he didn’t he sure could have. You remember… Continue reading I Think My Identical Twin is Charlie Brown
HARD LESSONS
Samuel walked across the courtyard to rest under a Tamarisk tree. He stopped when he heard God’s voice. “About this time tomorrow Israel’s first king will come to you. He’s from Benjamin. Anoint him so he will save My people from the Philistines. This is what My people want.” The next day Samuel sat in… Continue reading HARD LESSONS
Is Anybody Else Under Attack…or is it Just Me?
My crazy life has been some kind of crazy on steroids lately. March and the early part of April were a bit slow. I’ve been needing that to get caught up from the Christmas rush that lasted into February. But, last week was one I’d rather not repeat any time soon. I volunteered to help… Continue reading Is Anybody Else Under Attack…or is it Just Me?
Just Me and Jesus
God has an annoying way of giving me writing prompts sometimes. Two o’clock in the morning seems to be one of His favorite times to do such shenanigans. Just Me and Jesus was set to a tune as I awoke in the wee hours one morning. The chorus played in my head while I drove… Continue reading Just Me and Jesus
A DEDICATION REQUEST
Elkanah sat at the table after serving everybody. He looked at his favorite wife. “Hannah, why aren’t you eating? I’ve given you twice as much as anyone else. Don’t let the food go to waste.” Peninnah snickered. “I don’t know why you throw the food to a dog like that. She’s only eating for one.… Continue reading A DEDICATION REQUEST
TELL ME MORE
A woman walked to the rock she chose for daily quiet time. Suddenly a man appeared. His face was almost glowing. “You are about to conceive and give birth to a son even though you have been barren. Make sure you don’t drink anything from the vine or eat anything unclean. Never use a razor… Continue reading TELL ME MORE
I Wish God’s Will for the New Year
I’ve seen a lot of wishes for happiness and good things from well-meaning folks. As a born-again believer I’m not comfortable in making those types of wishes. By taking a more eternal view of how God sees things I think you’ll see what I mean. Watch my video for a more thorough explanation. I’ll see… Continue reading I Wish God’s Will for the New Year
Dumb They Called Me
It’s time for my annual spoof of a classic Christmas song. This year The Little Drummer Boy gets a make over. Don’t expect much humor this go-round. A spiritual contrast is more the order of business this year. Feel free to share this with anyone you think will benefit from the message conveyed here. I… Continue reading Dumb They Called Me
Thank You Heavenly Father
Thank You Heavenly Father Thank You for the breath in my lungs, a spark in my mind and praise on my tongue. Thank You for food on the table, friends to enjoy and a body that’s able. Thank You for love we can share, hugs to embrace and words of great care. Thank You for… Continue reading Thank You Heavenly Father
