“And They Turned To The Lord”
Wow, Peter lived a very exciting life.
“The Lord Is With Us”
“Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1Thes. 5:16-18) Too often when I hear the call to “pray always”, I consider it a duty that is almost impossible to carry out. Even if I have a regular prayer time and spend time in devotions, … Continue reading “The Lord Is With Us”
“We Didn’t Even Know Who He Was”
“Behold, I make all things new.” (Rev. 21:5) I remember this verse in the movie, The Passion of the Christ; Jesus speaking to his mother on the way to the cross….. a powerful moment. In truth I guess this statement can be applied to every word uttered from the mouth of the God. Jesus always makes all things … Continue reading “We Didn’t Even Know Who He Was”
“Taking It Up A Notch”
Remember yesterday’s BLOG about “only the good dying young …. while the Lord giving the rest of us extra time to get our act together”? Well today’s May reading might actually add a footnote to that BLOG. The reading is from Isaiah: “Just as from the heavens the rain and snow come down and do not … Continue reading “Taking It Up A Notch”
“Even The Saints Fail”

Yet to be honest many of the portrayals of these “Hall of Famers” described them as sinless, having never made any mistake, at least no serious mistakes. While one part of me is … Continue reading “Even The Saints Fail”
“Take Courage And Be A Man”
I love the passage from the first book of Kings that recalls the death of King David. This great warrior king is coming to the end of his life, and what a life it has been ….a life filled with incredible “ups and downs”. A simple shepherd boy who is anointed by Samuel as the … Continue reading “Take Courage And Be A Man”
“Experiencing God’s Pleasure”
“We’re leavin on a jet plane, don’t know when I’ll be back again…..oh babe, I hate to go…” Anyone remember that John Denver song? Well. Judy and I are leavin on a jet plane tomorrow and we do know when we’ll be back again…actually we’ll be back in 5 days. We’re going to visit our daughter … Continue reading “Experiencing God’s Pleasure”
“Don’t Worry — God Will Take Care Those Left Behind”
Some 40+ years ago my father-in-law would wonder and worry “how in the world Judy and I would be able to raise a large family in this crazy world …..how could we provide for them in a world that was on a downhill slope.” Some 20 years later I remember a friend who was many … Continue reading “Don’t Worry — God Will Take Care Those Left Behind”
