The Electic Mower!
I will never forget the day my dad brought home the new lawn mower that was to make my life miserable forever! Out of the box it came with its 100 foot extension cord… AN ELECTRIC LAWNMOWER!!! From that day forward until I went into the Navy that mower was to continually be the bane of… Read more

Roadblock Ahead!
Remember the day you gave your heart to the Lord? No one ever forgets that day and the days and weeks that followed. You were off and running and your heart and spirit were full of joy… that unspeakable joy. But, what happened? How did that journey that began so strongly lose its momentum? Gal… Read more

What God has said is “always” true and there are “no” exceptions. That was brought home to me once again the… Read more

The Books of Ezra and Nehemiah can be read as one book as they both focus on the rebuilding of the Temple and the wall around Jerusalem. But they also both speak to a challenge that is facing the bride of Christ today.., Consistent Christian Living. What caught my attention was chapter 8 of Ezra, which… Read more

Traffic Control
I think for the most part that the majority of folks who spend any time at all reading the Book of Ezekiel, their focus is on chapters 38 and 39 in an effort to better understand Revelation 20. And, honestly, there are parts of the book that on the surface are boring when compared to… Read more
