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 Going to Prison…YIKES!
As a Christian you do your best to stay out of trouble. But you also want to do all you can to please God. Sometimes doing the right thing can land you in jail for the right reasons. 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
Signs of Spring
February can be an extremely difficult month to endure. I know firsthand from being born and raised in Michigan. I can still recall seeing the pastures just east of our house blanketed in snow with more snow blowing across the barrenness. The wood heating stoves barely kept up with the freezing temperatures. There was a… Continue reading Signs of Spring
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
And Yet Another Crazy Week Was Endured
I kept reminding myself I moved to Texas to get away from winter weather. It still finds me ocassionally just the same. I went to work Tuesday expecting to drive to Shreveport. I was informed that trip was cancelled when I tried to pick up the paperwork for it. My dispatcher said there was a… Continue reading And Yet Another Crazy Week Was Endured
My Month as Santa’s Helper
December 2017 will go down as the month I got to live out a life goal. I spent this past month helping Santa deliver cards, letters and packages between Dallas and Lubbock. So, I guess I can check this off my bucket list. As of the writing of this post I still have a week… Continue reading My Month as Santa’s Helper
Short-term 2nd Chance Successes
Jonah awoke with a sharp pain on his leg. He reached down and groped his right shin. He pealed off what must have been a section of octopus tentacle. “Lord, how much longer must I suffer like this? I’m sorry for running. I know it was foolish of me. Nobody can win against You. Please… Continue reading Short-term 2nd Chance Successes
Thank You Father
Gratitude, gratefulness, thanksgiving…all themes with the same goal. Appreciation for what we have over desires for what we want. Sounds good, so why is so hard to keep it in practice? Just some thoughts to ponder during this holiday week. I’m sharing another poem I wrote a couple of years ago for Thanksgiving. It doubles… Continue reading Thank You Father
