INSPIRE ME
What does it take to be inspired, especially when it comes to your relationship with God? For me, there are no fireworks, no feeling of physically bonding with my Savior, no Road to Damascus moment like Paul experienced. When I … Continue reading
FORGIVEN, ONCE AND FOR ALL!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Most men can father a child, but it takes a certain kind of man to be a dad. Our Heavenly Father gives us the perfect example. He is called Father for a reason. In His infinite love He created … Continue reading
HEAL OUR LAND!

BRING ON THE KIDS
The Gospel message is so beautiful in its simplicity. Our human minds want it to be more. We want to be able to wrap our intelligence around it and figure it out, but God is so awesome, He’s already done … Continue reading
HE LOVES ME!
Remember when you were young, pulling the petals off a daisy to determine if someone loved you? There was always a 50-50 chance that the special someone you wanted to love you did. The odds weren’t that great, were they? … Continue reading

REJOICE IN YOUR GIFTS
I wrote this last June after the completion of my children’s performance. It still fits as we close another show tonight. Every time my little group of young, aspiring actors complete a show, it makes my heart swell with pride. … Continue reading
NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN
o Solomon spent a lifetime chasing the wind. In all his years of wealth, fulfillment and pleasure, he continued to struggle with the meaning of life. I do too. I often wonder why we go through difficulties. Why do we have … Continue reading
THE WEEKEND – AT LAST
Well, you’ve made it through another week. You may not have accomplished everything on your plate, but you came through reasonably unscathed. Now it’s time for some rest and relaxation, but before that take a moment to thank God for … Continue reading
IT’S FRIDAY!
Well the work week is over – that is unless, you work on weekends, are a parent, a caretaker or any other job that means you work all the time. We look forward to the weekends, because we can catch up on things … Continue reading
WEDNESDAY – NEW DAY
Dr. Seuss was a word master. Within his fun little verses he held great wisdom. We all have a choice which direction we choose for our lives. Choice is not just a term used for selfish reasons, it can be … Continue reading
HOW DID MONDAY WORK OUT FOR YOU?
Yesterday I talked about Mondays being a chance to start fresh. Actually it’s good to set goals, plan ahead, look forward, but most importantly look up. If we try to accomplish even the simplest of tasks alone, we’re setting ourselves up … Continue reading
MYSTERY
Many stories and books have been written with mystery being the genre. Most of the time the mystery is solved by the last page or, if you’re very clever, before the story ends. God’s book, the Bible, includes some mysteries … Continue reading

Slowly crossing the sands of time – into a pasture green sublime. I’ll rest my feet and wet my lips, with waters clear and cold that grips. Through danger I will walk with Him. He guards me from each foolish sin. … Continue reading
PUT A PILLOW ON YOUR FRIDGE DAY?
It’s “Funny Friday” again and this day of celebration is a new one for me. Starting somewhere in Europe and migrating to the U.S. in the 1930s or so, this ridiculous observance is supposed to bring good luck to your … Continue reading
HELL EXISTS
Depths of anguish – eternal fire parching swollen, thirsty lips – never ending pain, not experienced in life – inescapable hopelessness – constant falling deeper and deeper – no finish, no escape, no peace from suffering emotionally, physically, spiritually … Continue reading
OXYMORON- PEACE IN TURMOIL
Can we find solace or peace in the midst of adversity? Is there calm when a powerful gale stirs the depths of the sea? What is the point of lives full of turmoil? What can we learn – how … Continue reading
SANCTUARY
Where do you go to escape the noisiness of life, the frustrations, the fears and worries? When I was a kid, I always retreated to my closet. It was a dark, quiet place where no one could hear my words of … Continue reading
