There are times when I watch the news about threats to our freedom and way of life and I must admit that it scares me a bit. What if the US get’s sideways with China or another world power. What if sleeper cells awake a start relentless attacks inside our borders. I don’t want to…
I remember as a kid hearing two main stories from the book of Daniel – the story of “the lions den” and “the fiery furnace”. I wasn’t aware of all the visions he had. I’ve had dreams and I’ve had visions, but nothing quite like what Daniel experienced. I’m thankful that he has written them…
There is a certain order of life. For example when babies are born, they are pretty much helpless. They don’t have to get and go to the bathroom. They don’t have to get up and go eat. Everything is pretty much done for them. They are taught to behave a certain way as they grow.…
I’ve heard this saying since I was a kid. I think it means that the outcome is obvious to whoever is speaking it. I don’t always see the writing on the wall with stuff that I’m involved in. There are times when I see the obvious outcome (aka “the writing on the wall”) when it…
I used to hear this phrase as a kid growing up and it was my Mom’s way of explaining that I was about to be humbled. She also used to say: “I was a bit too big for my britches”. This was another way of saying that she was the parent and that I was…

I’ve prayed for many things over the years. I’ve asked God to give me a mini bike (when I was a kid), I’ve prayed to be rich and I’ve asked for other stuff from God. I must admit that I wanted what I wanted and I wasn’t the least bit embarrassed to ask Him. I…
As I was going through “grade school” at Knifley Elementary and then high school at Adair County High School, I wasn’t sure how much education I was getting. There is so much pressure on the social aspect of school that not as much “book learning” takes place. After graduation from High School I moved to…
I’ve grown up studying the Lord in His Word. I’ve also known Him personally for many years now. There are still times that I’m blown away by His Presence and His Power. He really wants to know me more. He really loves us- His creation. Ezekiel ends with the land being divided up among the…
I really enjoy being near water, in the water and on the water. As Spring begins to unfold, I look forward to playing with water. I also enjoy drinking water. I also use it to shower. Water is life giving to our planet. I don’t think I can ever remember a time when I was…
