THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT . . .

THE BALLAD OF BONNIE & CLYDE
I had this all written today, when I realized I was a day late. However, I think the story has merit. Bonnie and Clyde were famous outlaws in the 1930s. They both died on the same day, May 23, 1934. … Continue reading
WHERE EVIL LURKS . . .

UNEXPECTED BLESSINGS

ENMITY WITHIN
ENMITY – Noun – a feeling or condition of hostility; hatred; ill will; animosity; antagonism. Enmity isn’t a word we use very often. My first introduction to it was in Sunday school a long, long time ago, when we were … Continue reading
SPOOKY TIME OF THE YEAR
I just finished stage managing “Sleepy Hollow, the Musical.” The title itself gives way to things that go bump in the night, yet there is the relief of turning this scary tale into a fun filled musical. Halloween happens this … Continue reading
TO SLEEP PERCHANCE TO DREAM
I recall going to sleep as a child and my mom would tell me to have sweet dreams. The thought of having sweet dreams was comforting, because the real world wasn’t always that kind of escape. In your dreams you … Continue reading
SATURDAY THOUGHTS
In a world confused about morality, conscience and sin, we’re faced with a real dilemma. The evil of this world has slowly deteriorated to the point of obliterating the truth of God. Our inability to accept the word “sin” has … Continue reading
THOSE DOGGONE WEEDS!
When we lived in our old house, I managed to create a garden of pretty epic proportions on a hill. It wasn’t just a mound, but a real hill, that almost required mountain boots to climb. That didn’t deter me. … Continue reading
PRINCE OF DARKNESS
The story of the Passion of Christ wouldn’t be complete without the antagonist – that ever present cad who was on the scene at the beginning of the creation of the world – the one who attempted to take away God’s … Continue reading
LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION

I DIG DIRT
Ever since I was little I had a close attachment with dirt. I loved making mud pies. I enjoyed digging for worms. There was something about squishing your fingers through the moist soil in search of buried treasure or who knows what. … Continue reading

In 1963 a list of Communist goals was shown to the House of Repesentatives. I’m going to list just a few of them today, but if you want to read more, go to the article, “The Communist Takeover of America … Continue reading
LITTLE SINS
Dawn Jones at INSPIRATION with an ATTITUDE had an interesting post today about tolerance. It got me to thinking how the devil works and what he’s done slowly sifting through humanity with his minions. His ideology would seem to be spreading … Continue reading
GOD IS THE ANSWER
Terrorism strikes fear into all hearts and minds. Our human nature tells us to fight back – to stand up for what we believe – to give in to our feelings. By doing so, we have already lost the battle. … Continue reading
SHUT DE DO, KEEP OUT DE DEBIL!
The devil is accustomed to using our shortcomings to weaken our faith. He did it in the Garden of Eden by tempting the first humans into thinking they could become like God by eating the forbidden fruit. He did it in the … Continue reading
THOSE WHO TRUST IN GOD WILL POSSESS THE LAND
