I decided to make a memory. My grandson was visiting. He is a low maintenance child. Does not demand a lot and is often pretty funny. But whether he was high maintenance or not, making memories is what people ought to consider. (It is hard to bemoan the condition of the world if you are not putting an oar in the water to get somewhere.) Continue reading Make A Memory Today
When I first became a believer there were a few pieces of Christianity that I grasped on. Held tight to.
For life!
They were: Continue reading Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life
Lots of people are familiar with my story about the sock monkey as a child and how I believed that was God. Many of you have seen my videos I have done about a sock monkey or even seen the one that a dear friend of mine gave me after hearing my story about the sock monkey. A few weeks ago another friend gave me a couple of more. Continue reading Made In His Image
Be anxious for nothing…the God of now is where you be…
While on a walk yesterday I wrote this. (Well,talk-texted it!)
Do not misconstrue wealth or success with godliness for there are many people who act with evil simply because they were created to develop wealth and chose another path. Continue reading Don’t Pee On Today
“Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty”
How many times have I seen that? Thought about it? I understand what folks are saying but it leaves so much up to happenstance. Serendipity. (Many years ago I taught on a response to that from the side of a believer, one empowered by grace and infused with love.) Continue reading Practice, Purpose & Beauty
Prayer That Doesn’t Work? NO WAY!
John 14:13-14 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
How many of you are aware of this verse? How many of you implement it or practice it? Today is your day to change the facts. To overcome your “back story”. If God can rewrite the story of Sarah, calling her a woman of faith (Hebrews 11), imagine what He can do with you in a better covenant. Continue reading Prayer That Doesn’t Work? NO WAY!
23 years ago Tina and I got up on a Saturday morning to prepare for a wedding. Our wedding. I slept in my store that night, woke up and headed to my friend’s house to make preparations for that day. My wife hung out with girlfriends and got ready. Continue reading Tina And I 23 Years Later!
My big question is, will they apologize?
This morning I awoke from a dream. In that dream a friend of mine and I were talking on the phone. While we were talking I could hear the sound of his computer keyboard. Seconds later my phone lit up with a single word… help! Then I can hear scuffling in the background and loud voices. I immediately got up and began to pray for my friend and his family. Continue reading Apology Needed?
I am a child of God.
Many of you have sung that in recent days as the song No Longer Slaves has moved about the world.
(Songs often set the theology of the church. Be awaiting for my friend Jonathan Mancha to rock the world.) Continue reading What’s In Your Wallet?
Like so many, today I have a choice. To choose bad or to choose good. To choose good or to choose God. I dreamed and began this a few days ago. Choice? Everyone has one.
Today is the 12th of September. For folks in this country it signified change in the follow up to the destruction of the Twin Towers of New York and the Pentagon. It also signified the day where people picked up and began the arduous process of rebuilding shattered lives and the willingness to overcome the pains of the hour.
