Our nation is messy, yet so is every nation. People are hurting. Life is difficult. And in the end, it should be driving us to our knees. But I challenge you, do not let prayer be the last thing we do. It should be the first thing, and the continuous thing on our list. So... Continue Reading →
Click It … #3 of 3 … The remote is listening! Are we?
Life should come with a remote. Or should it? One of the newest additions is voice activated remote controls. It’s not really new. I remember being the voice command remote control every time my dad or older siblings “commanded” me to get up and change the channel. Or adjust the rabbit ears. Or up the... Continue Reading →
E-Day plus 1
Midweek moment with an election twist. It’s the day after. And some votes are still being counted. Election Day +1. And I share a prayer. A prayer by the first President. His words ring true still today ... Prayer for the United States of America "Almighty God; We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt... Continue Reading →
Amber Alert … #MyPhoneGetsMe – Number 5 of 5
Alert. Warning. Pay attention. Klaxons going off. Danger Will Robinson. The sound happens and it makes our hearts jump. We tune our senses to high alert and we pick up our phone to see what is trying to get our attention. Two weeks ago, an acquaintance had their teenage daughter disappear in the middle of...

Vile Figs and More on a Monday Morning
I cursed my city. I cursed them with vile figs. I found this great graphic. You can see all their ‘vile figs’ products here. I started with the best of intentions. But we know what road is paved with those, don’t we? I had planned and prepared for our group to show we care for... Continue Reading →
Twenty Seconds Tuesday
Outside of Scripture, there are only a handful of quotes that have impacted my life profoundly. Here is one of them. Heard from Stephen Olford ... Take it to heart people. Pray more. Pray often. Just pray.
Knock Knock
Thursday’s Thirty Second Thought Provoker (okay, maybe 60 seconds) I’m a strong advocate for the power of prayer. We take our burdens, requests, cares, and problems. We lift our praises and give our thanks. But we shouldn’t stop there. I’ve been challenged from the life of Nehemiah. When he heard that Jerusalem was in ruins,... Continue Reading →
Praying is Kind of Weird
Praying is weird ... have you ever really thought about it. Here we are ... tiny little specs in relation to the whole universe. And if there are multiverses, whoa. We have no real reason to stick out and deserve any attention from the BIG, POWERFUL, AWESOME CREATOR we call LORD. And that’s just our... Continue Reading →
May I Have Your Attention, Please?
Most my life, I have hated long phone calls. I may give attention to my beloved wife and child, but with most people, if you haven’t finished the point in about 45 seconds, my mind has drifted elsewhere. So believe me when I say, todays’s quote hits me pretty hard. Me after 30 seconds Our... Continue Reading →
