Holy “What day is it?” My life has gotten extremely crazy lately. Hence the Monday blog post on Wednesday. I don’t know when I’ll finally get another Friday post out. Prayers are appreciated. My poor female mailman has gotten quite the workout carrying my 900 books into the apartment complex’s office last week. I put… Continue reading I don’t know much about the future, but I do know this.

Did the time change affect you adversely? Not me
Here we go again. The federal government has enforced another forced hour-less of sleep on most of its citizens. A show of hands now…how many of you slept through till your normal time to wake up and showed up to church an hour late? I see that hand. The people most affected by this slight… Continue reading Did the time change affect you adversely? Not me
Happy Leap Day Y’all!
Here it is…the day you’ve waited four years for. February 29th–that extra day that keeps us up to date with the orbit of the earth around the sun. That means you have an extra day to get caught up on those items you’ve been putting off, like going to the gym (remember that resolution?). I… Continue reading Happy Leap Day Y’all!
A PROMISE AND A DENIAL
Abraham stared at the heat waves rising from the plains. His head nodded. “A nap would be nice, but the tent’s too hot.” A bead of sweat rolled down his side. He rubbed his arm across the area to stop the tickle. He swatted at a fly buzzing his right ear. That’s when he noticed… Continue reading A PROMISE AND A DENIAL
THE LOST ARE FOUND
“What have I done to deserve any of this? First, you take me from my home. Then you drag me to a foreign land. Now you force your husband on me. Now that I’m carrying his child you treat me even worse than before. I can’t take much more of this.” Hagar stared into Sarai’s… Continue reading THE LOST ARE FOUND
A Promise Followed by Waiting
“Do you think we’ll ever get to Canaan, Uncle Abram?” Lot looked from the full moon to Abram. “I have a feeling your grandfather has found his place here, Lot. Why else would he name it after your father?” “It’s as good a place as any, I suppose.” Lot walked back to his tent. Abram… Continue reading A Promise Followed by Waiting
A Judgement Followed by an Action
Noah walked out of his tent to get some fresh air. His steps never felt heavier. He stepped on his shadow to the river. He steadied himself against a tree. When his knees hit the ground he looked up. “You know I never wanted children, God. This world is no place to raise a family.… Continue reading A Judgement Followed by an Action
THE 1ST RECORDED PRAYER
We’re taking a different course than I had planned for this blog. Instead of going through the book of Acts I’ve thought of another theme we can follow through the Bible. It relates to the book I have coming out soon. I’m going to find some prayers in the Bible and analyse them for our… Continue reading THE 1ST RECORDED PRAYER
CHOOSING A REPLACEMENT
Peter looked around the room at the crowd. What seemed like such a large space for a meal with Jesus was now crammed with His followers. A man stood at the door searching until he saw Peter and John. He marched up to them. “I have news of Judas.” “He hanged himself. We know.” The… Continue reading CHOOSING A REPLACEMENT
I feel sorry for people who don’t have a relationship with Jesus Christ
A week and a half ago I had a spiritual experience that can only come from a personal relationship with God through the atoning work of Jesus Christ. It involved a semi, the stars and a familiarity with the Bible. It began with my agreeing to take another delivery run to west Texas. There were… Continue reading I feel sorry for people who don’t have a relationship with Jesus Christ
