I can’t think of anything that is not affected by timing. It’s often not predictable or obvious, but still so important. Years ago a friend was helping to build a house… he had paused for a moment to catch his breath and stepped away just as a beam came crashing down right where he had … Continue reading Waiting Can Be Tough

Repentance Brings Wonderful Things
Originally Posted Nov. 22, 2021 Does repentance change God’s mind? That’s a very interesting question. It seems that true repentance does touch God’s heart and causes him to change some of the punishment that was forthcoming.

“The Lord Will Show Up”
A number of years ago I had an important leadership position in our community. There were always significant issues that needed resolution. In truth, it was somewhat overwhelming. At that time I developed a wonderful habit of going to Eucharistic Adoration…. almost every day. I would leave the office and travel to a local church … Continue reading “The Lord Will Show Up”

The Professional Basketball Season (NBA) just ended. I’m amazed at the talent level (gift level) of these players …. their athleticism, skill set, endurance. … Continue reading “A Wonderful Life”
“It Is You O Lord, You Are The Only One”
I recently sent a note to a friend and BIG Miami Heat fan, congratulating him on how his team had put up a very good fight against the Denver Nuggets who are up 3-1 in the NBA finals. Well, he just got back to me quoting Yogi Berra, “Dave, it ain’t over till it’s over”. Hmmmm, Bill … Continue reading “It Is You O Lord, You Are The Only One”
“Delight In The Lord’s Deliverance”

Restore our fortunes, O LORD, … Continue reading “Delight In The Lord’s Deliverance”
“History Is Important”
Originally Posted Nov. 18, 2021 Perspective is essential to knowing the truth. Look at only part of the facts in a situation and you will often get a distorted understanding.

Originally Posted Nov. 17, 2021 When the pressure gets high enough, something in us cries, “STOP” …… I just can’t take this pressure, …… I need relief and I need it now.
