A Lighthouse
As I’ve had a little more time to spend with the Lord while recovering from some minor surgery He has been sharing a lot with me out of the Book of Ezekiel. And Saturday morning He flashed a picture of a lighthouse across my mind as I was contemplating the reasons why God called his… Read more

So Run!
It seems as though, at least here in Colorado, everyone has to get out and “run.” And it doesn’t matter what time of day or night, there are always people out running; even when its 10 below. And in some respects the bride is doing the same thing. But often she takes Paul’s admonition to… Read more

Everything Has Its Time
There is one section of scripture that everyone, believers and non-believers alike, have heard at one time or another. But the interpretation of those words by the two is as different as night and day. For the non-believer it’s “fate,” a life of wishes, fears, worry, anger, envy, and disappointment. For the believer it’s “faith,” a life of… Read more
