The Ability To Be Organized – May It Be Empowered!
A little tongue in cheek for the morning.
The first step asks that you admit you are powerless over Post-It’s and that your life is unmanageable.
I guess on some levels I must be a romantic. I guess I believe everything will just work out. You know, find the right girl (Or guy), and life will be without problem, without discord. Perhaps I am a little Pollyanna in part from the generation and culture I grew up in.
So my desire to be “organized” is not as good as I would like. I tend to rely on experience and not thought process some times. If I am helping someone else that is one thing…but me? Continue reading The Ability To Be Organized – May It Be Empowered!
12-30-2013 Thought – Words Made Real
Last night before I fell asleep, I felt this in my spirit.
I was thinking about the 2014 prophecy I shared yesterday. I thought how many will read a word like that and not see it change them. Not just my words or this word, but any word.
Words Made Real
Every word that is given to you in your life has the potential to be spirit. Just as a word goes from a logos word (A “head” word-one that is read or viewed only.) to a rhema word (A “heart” word-one that occupies and is energized.) or a word that is now. (I recognize that logos is used for scripture or Jesus and rhema has to do with utterance.) You are the decider of that. Continue reading 12-30-2013 Thought – Words Made Real
The Runway Of God 2014 – 10 Fresh Realities
I live fairly close to our local airport. I love airports. As a child I would go to East Haven Connecticut’s Tweed New Haven Airport, lie on the roof of my parent’s car and watch them take off and land.
I enjoy going over to the Keene airport here where I live just to watch the planes land and take off. There is something about it that intrigues me. It is one thing to see automotive traffic converge at a 4 way intersection but still another to watch planes as they land or take off from the additional dimension of altitude.

Business Thoughts For The End of 2013
The next few days are going to be very busy for me (As well as my wife, Tina.) as we close out the year of 2013. What a wonderful year of family, friends, faith, fun and food.
2013 events included the April marriage of our daughter Amy to the love of her life, Manley. What an amazing time as Tina and I celebrated 20 years with her wedding in St. Lucia. And now they are expecting in May 2014. There is another addition coming to our family as well and we will update you on that shortly. In September Tina and I moved to a nice apartment to the north of downtown.
It has been a very exciting year at our local fellowship, The Village Church, where such an outpouring of the goodness of God and the building of friendships has been happening.
Love wins.
The next few days will be busy for many of us, but in this I just wanted to bring folks up to date.
What are we saying?
While getting ready to make declarations over our offering in our local fellowship, Mark shared from one of Steve Backlund’s books about the power of declaration. It reminded me of the book I wrote on declaration and decree. This book is called The Drones of Heaven. So many question what they are to say, how to say it, etc., and those reasons were some of the reasons I wrote this short book. It is available in multiple formats here at the website.

Over the next few days (Before the end of the year.) I hopefully will be posting the following articles I have been working on.
- Word for 2014-The Lord has been prompting me with these thoughts and it was complete as I sat with two friends in a restaurant near the airport.)
- Word for our local fellowship-This is nearly complete.
- An article on deception-on my desktop
- An article on polarization -on my desktop
- An article on “how we get there” -on my desktop
- An article on 5 chefs in the kitchen-on my desktop
Completion of the handbook for our prophetic rooms will soon be done.
I also am working on a few business plans that people have encouraged me to pursue. They include a “get together” app, a building community site and app, a site for helping small businesses and sellers. (Anyone who knows of a person or people that build apps, please let me know.)
My book’s most recent edit showed up over the holidays. I would like to find a couple of people who would be interested in reading it. Please contact me.
Guest bloggers-I am always looking for people with the capability to share truths about Jesus in a grace-filled way. Please contact me.
Needs
Other than prayer I would like to have the following occur:
- App designer
- Someone familiar with Smashwords and Createspace logistics for ebooks
- Interested bloggers-both to write for us and to receive our blogs
- Editors and people capable of assembling books
The last area to update is Tina and I have been blessed despite here losing her job. Neither one of us has been hired to date despite interviews and such and yet God has taken us through it. With that in mind some have asked if the can send support of any type. The answer of course is yes. We have a Paypal link here on the site or click the “donations” button at top.
As we close out 2013, I want to say thanks to each of you who have participated in our lives whether in prayer, phone calls or emails. We love you.
Do You Need A Pool Of Siloam?
This morning my friend Mark shared about dream and purpose being used interchangeably. He incorporated thought process with the theme from the movie, The Field Of Dreams.
When I entered the fellowship building I heard the words “Pool of Siloam.” I began to think about what it meant.
Couple it with this. Continue reading Do You Need A Pool Of Siloam?
A Nom de Plume-Who Am I?
Who are you? No, really who are you? (Sounds like Bill Cosby’s Noah.)
Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised by the number of requests I received of my blog and articles and some of the unusual places they ended up. (Ironically, none of them are “Christian” in nature which is fine with me, just interesting.)
But in the midst of it, I received a question about “pen names” or a nom de plume. I had never considered it to be frank. Not that I really am now. (I have done “roving reporter” type stuff never using my name or anything.) Continue reading A Nom de Plume-Who Am I?
What Are You Looking For?
It’s not there! Yay! Gone! My sin is gone!
I spent a lot of my walk with God missing understanding about various scriptures in regard to grace. There was a time where I was sin conscious and not God conscious especially when it came to me.
Stop looking to be a zombie!
The last few days there has been a lot of food in my home. Everything from pies, pastries and cookies, (Did you know *Peter Percival…?) to turkey, ham, potatoes and more. (I limit myself and avoid **sweet potatoes!) So much food with so little time. Continue reading What Are You Looking For?
Christmas Day In The Morning
Air hockey! Toboggan! BB guns!
Each year my parents would buy our family one “major” gift. As children we would be up sometime around 5AM and head towards the living room door. We were not allowed “in” the living room, so looking over at the gifts that were not there the night before in the hallway light was just “painful.”
Our family traditions were simple on so many levels. Once our parents were up we were allowed to open handmade stockings from our grandmothers. They contained gold coin chocolate, tangerines and walnuts, as well as one or two special smaller gifts. Then off to breakfast, to return to open the larger gifts. Continue reading Christmas Day In The Morning
Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag
Yesterday was a very full day. I was getting so many things ready in preparation for the appearance of family and friends. Whether it was taking one of my grandsons for a haircut, heading to the store or just trying to think through the logistics of the days to come.
Today I will begin the food preparations, take my granddaughter Mariah out for a special time and do a thing or two with Jacob today. My plan is to be all said and done by 3 or so today. Then off to be with friends and family at our church Christmas Eve service this evening. Continue reading Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag
