I remember hearing that as a child in a “son of a gun” kind of contest. I don’t always have my mind on Kingdom Come, but I certainly should. These two words speak of eternal life as well as abundant life here on earth. It speaks to me of God’s Kingdom here on earth (His…
The imagery of Revelation is somewhat wild and hard to take in. The scene is something beyond my imagination and often it seems it’s beyond John’s imagination. I’m not sure what I expect when I get to heaven, but there are times when I’m reading Revelation that I’m pretty sure that is not what I…
I often wonder what kind of voice God has. Does he have a deep baritone voice? I’m assuming He speaks any language or that any of us understand His language. I’m also expecting that I could literally hear Him. I’ve heard Him speak into my heart many times, but to hear Him audibly would be…
I have seen people suffer from a debilitation illness and it can be absolutely horrific for the one experiencing the suffering and for the one ministering to them. I remember being with a family as their family member fought bone cancer – death was a welcomed friend. I’ve been by the bedside of a dying…
There have been times in my life when I felt like my prayers simply hit the ceiling of the room I was in. I felt like my prayers went nowhere. I have also had times of intense prayer where I felt like I could feel God’s breath on me as I put my head on…

I had to go to court one day for a ticket that I had received in Gatlinburg for allegedly running a traffic light. I remember it like it was yesterday because I was scared but I felt like I had been wrongly ticketed. The light was yellow when I went through it. I went before…
I love to worship God. I believe God loves it when I worship Him. I try to describe His Goodness, His Holiness, His Mercy, His Heart – I could go on and on. When I worship God, I realize how small I am. I realize how unholy I am, because He is Holy. I believe…
How do you describe something that is beyond description? I guess you would still try to describe it. I’ve tried to describe a personal experience that I’ve had with the Lord before and ran into some really tough roadblocks called words. When trying to describe the incredible majesty of God – the words just don’t…
I loved playing this game as a kid. One kid would leave the room and the teacher and all of us would decide what we wanted them to touch or pick-up. We would all be yelling “Hot or Cold”. We would sometimes let them know that they were closing in by yelling “warmer”. It was…
