Friday the 13th...how did we get to fear a simple calculated time on the calendar? According to Wikipedia, the fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia......say that 3 times real quick. The term is relatively recent. The earliest known documented reference of this superstition occurs in an 1869 biography. There are many other superstitions … Continue reading Are You Scared?

Brokenhearted
I was sitting in my prayer room tonight. Something I love to do late at night, or actually early in the morning. There is a quietness and stillness when all around me have gone to sleep. There is a place here where no masks have to be put on; no pretensions have to be given; … Continue reading Brokenhearted
The Father Heart of God by John Dawson
MY NOTES: With Father's Day this Sunday, I wanted to give you something that would touch you whether you were a father or not. This is one of the most powerful stories on the Father Heart of God that I have ever read. I found this many years ago and it never ceases to touch … Continue reading The Father Heart of God by John Dawson
Alone Or Lonely?
After my previous post where I quoted the scripture, "I will put the lonely into homes," I began to think about some things. I believe it is important that we know the difference between being alone and being lonely. In some ways, this is an extremely difficult post for me but I believe it is … Continue reading Alone Or Lonely?
I Will Put The Lonely Into Homes
The other day as I was driving to a benefit concert for Labor of Love Ministries in Morgantown, WV, I was beginning to question why I even going there. First, let me say that I truly appreciate LOL and the work they do to help women in crisis. My feelings had absolutely nothing to do … Continue reading I Will Put The Lonely Into Homes
Good food….great friends!
So, explain to me how food tastes so much better when it is shared with friends. I can eat a meal by myself and it will taste ok, but add a few friends into the mix and presto...instant taste improvement. Of course Christians call it fellowship but it is simply just enjoying the company of … Continue reading Good food….great friends!
That Many People Still Missed It
I'm starting a 3-part series on the heart of God. Some of this came by revelation during dinner with a long-time friend. I love those times when you're just chatting away and God interupts the conversation. In fact, if we believe the scripture where Jesus said when 2 or 3 are gathered in His name, … Continue reading That Many People Still Missed It
Is It Well With Your Soul?
At the end of this year, I want to make sure everything is ok...with you and your soul. The video above is a more upbeat rendition of the song, but Denver & MHO do a great job at it. My pastor says that how you leave one season will determine how you enter the next. … Continue reading Is It Well With Your Soul?
Sticks and Stones
I was looking back at a past blog and was reading about the "Stones That Heal." Even though I don't believe that stones can heal, they sure can hurt. I've been hit by more than one in a childhood fight with my brothers and many left bruise and cuts. Do you remember the old children's … Continue reading Sticks and Stones
The Power of One
It is been an extremely busy but productive couple of weeks. The Valor Healing Conference was so rewarding a couple weeks ago. Today, I heard a testimony of a woman who came to the Conference and had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She went back to the doctor who ran another set of MRI's and … Continue reading The Power of One
