In church the other day, we were having a special day. It was a Son-day, Sundae, Sunday. Yes, we had sundaes afterwards with all the fixings. It's great on a hot summer day to enjoy some ice cream with all the goodies on top. Of course, anytime is a great time to have ice cream. … Continue reading The Sun And The Son

Oil And The Wine
Last week I was ministering on the story of the Samaritan. It wasn't really about the Samaritan but more about what he offered. While he played a significant part in the story and he certainly was the vessel for what happened, I believe if we look deeper into the story, we will find that what, … Continue reading Oil And The Wine
Old Church Basement
Before my time of prayer today, I was worshipping the Lord and just listening to his voice. There have been many things that are heavy on my heart recently but I’m finding myself getting lost in His presence and not saying as much as I am listening. I’m sometimes finding myself longing for days gone … Continue reading Old Church Basement
My Prayer
As I was praying and reading this morning, I came across a prayer that revealed so much of my heart. My desire is to be open and honest with God because He already knows my life...and me, better than I do myself. Every part of me wants to be pleasing to my Father. I want … Continue reading My Prayer
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?
You Can’t Go Back
Recently, I took my mom on a drive through some areas that I had not been to in a while. These were towns that I remember passing through when I was young. We shared how we knew so and so that lived there and began to ask one another how certain people were doing now. … Continue reading You Can’t Go Back
It Was Me
While this is certainly not a music review blog, music is vital in my life. Music can reach into a person's soul and make him laugh or cry, sing or stay silent, confirm or cause to think. A song will stay with us long after a sermon has been forgotten. That said, while sitting down … Continue reading It Was Me
What About Me?
I had the extreme pleasure of helping out some friends tonight. They help out with a ministry called Shoes For Orphaned Souls which collects new shoes from all over the U.S. and distributes them to orphanages all over the world. I won't embarrass them by telling you how many shoes they collect to send in, … Continue reading What About Me?
Ever Play The Shell Game?
I know it may seem weird, but I get these pictures in my mind while praying. God knows how to get my attention. The same picture or method may not work the same for you as it does for me. So I'm praying and this picture of the shell game comes before me. Remember the … Continue reading Ever Play The Shell Game?
A Friend Is A Friend Indeed
While reading a scripture out of the Book of Job, I came across a passage where he is lamenting over things lost. In verse 14 of chapter 19 he says that his relatives have failed him and his intimate friends have forgotten him. I'm sure each of us has felt like you were totally alone … Continue reading A Friend Is A Friend Indeed
