Sad State…
Sometime in the near future in Indonesia three Christians will be executed by firing squad; what is their crime? Attempting to convert Muslim children to Christianity. This shouldn’t be so surprising hey have been here before and Jesus warned us things like this would come again. What makes the issue worse is that at the…

Dreams drifting away.
Wow talk about reading an article that speaks to where you are. As we get older and the dreams of youth seem just as exciting as ever and yet seem less attainable than ever it is a tough time. That is why people go through mid-life crisises. I read a book called the Dream giver…

My Bible
I am 52 chapters behind, and that number was 81 chapters three days ago. I am part of a group, a small group though it may be, that reads the entire bible twice per year. That is “cover to cover” in six months, 6.5 chapters a day. I hadn’t read in a while and so…

Choose this day
Choose this day… I guess I am just a crap or get off the pot kind of guy (never thought you would hear that in a ministry blog huh?), I agree with the Prophet Elijah: 1 Kings 18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if…

What a legacy…
Hebrews 11:4 (NLT) 4 It was by faith that Abel brought a more acceptable offering to God than Cain did. God accepted Abel’s offering to show that he was a righteous man. And although Abel is long dead, he still speaks to us because of his faith. “All things done for self will past,…

And God answers
OK, so it turns out that God knew what he was doing all along. (who would have guessed?) Alora didn’t have another ear infection, it was just a cold, which she has so graciously passed on to Heather and myself as proof. So she isn’t one of those luck three percent after all.
