Friday the 13th...how did we get to fear a simple calculated time on the calendar?

What’s In Your Suitcase?
Have you ever went to fly on a jet and had to have your baggage inspected? I have. Before they inspect it, they ask some questions which usually includes asking whether or not I packed the bag. I've never heard of anyone saying no unless it was their wife. I ran across an old song … Continue reading What’s In Your Suitcase?
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

Friends, maybe you're having a hard time … Continue reading Grace…Do You Get It?

Going through some of my favorite CD's from my past, I picked up a disc from artist Michael O'Brien. On this disc is his top hit "What Held You On The Cross." While every song on this project is good, as I was driving down the road, one song stood out to me. All Is … Continue reading All Is Forgiven
Wanna Go Fishing?
It's not often that I come across a news article that makes me smile but today I found one. In fact, tears of joy even welled up on my eyes. It wasn't that I could even identify with the people in the story. I just saw the goodness of God in it. In fact, I … Continue reading Wanna Go Fishing?
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
