Last week was a bit of a roller coaster ride for this truck driver turned writer. My writer side received the high point award while I delivered mattresses in Longview, Texas on Wednesday. Discount Mattress quickly became one of my favorite stops before this past week. It’s a family run operation…a mother-in-law daughter-in-law arrangement mostly.… Continue reading I Just Knew It

An Earnest Plea
Isaiah paused before he pushed the palace door open and looked up. “Why, LORD? He’s such a good king.” He walked in and was led to the king’s bedroom. Hezekiah’s face was pale. Sweat drenched his hair as he shivered. Isaiah swallowed. “Set your affairs in order. The LORD declares that you shall die from… Continue reading An Earnest Plea
Clinically Depressed
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
Do You Pray For Storms to Pass?
I don’t know how things are in your neck of the woods, but here in Texas we’ve been getting a LOT of rain lately. One of the things I like about living in this day and age is the ability to see where the rain is falling at any given time. I have this app… Continue reading Do You Pray For Storms to Pass?
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
Jim passed this morning
Life has a way of becoming stunningly obvious at times. Take last week for example. My driving assignments have slowed since the Christmas rush has subsided. Not to fear, the Apainter Paul is getting some big painting jobs he needs help with. Last week we were painting an exterior in Frisco. We finished the back… Continue reading Jim passed this morning
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
Do I See What You See?
I’ve been doing a lot of traveling lately. I’m been all over Texas…from Houston to San Antonio to El Paso to Amarillo to Wichita Falls and all over the Dallas area this month. Outside of Texas I’ve been to Oklahoma City, OK, Memphis, TN, and Shreveport, LA multiple times. When a truck driver does that… Continue reading Do I See What You See?
What Must They Have Thought
The Pharisees didn’t get Jesus at all. That didn’t stop Jesus from ruffling their feathers any chance He got. The thirteenth chapter of Matthew’s gospel begins a litany of stories Jesus told to anybody who listened to Him. The prophets said He would do that so some eyes wouldn’t see what He was talking about,… Continue reading What Must They Have Thought

Ahhh…the smell of pollen in the air. Spring has arrived early in North Texas this year. El Nino has been kind to us while other folks are still digging snow, with angst and vulgar vocabulary. Our popcorn trees have popped. The redbud trees are purple again. The Bluebonnets shall be blue very soon. The assault… Continue reading Sprig haz Sprung id Dort Tekas
