Let My Life Be The Proof of Your Love
Let my life be the proof of your love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. “If I sing, but don’t have love, I waste my breath with every song. I bring an empty voice, A hollow noise. If I speak with a silver tongue, Convince a crowd but don’t have love, I leave a bitter taste with every word I say, So…
Jesus is the Same
I went to the store the other day to buy my favorite ice cream. I couldn’t believe my favorite ice cream cost more. The golden potatoes, that I dearly love, have increased. What is with the price gouge on everything? My favorite bread costs more. Most of you know I love McDonalds. It’s been my favorite place to go forever. I used to have my office there where I would meet others. In the process of going there so much,…
Striving to be Your Best
I wouldn’t trade my eight years in the Army for anything. My military experience helped shape me into the man I am today. I have very few regrets related to those years, but I do have regrets. Because of my military experience, I enjoy watching military-based movies and TV shows. Most recently I’ve enjoyed watching the series on Fox called Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. If you haven’t seen the show, it’s filmed in the Jordanian desert, not far from…
Spiritual Habits
As I sit at home this morning (which doesn’t happen often) and look outside, I am reminded to take a deep breath and appreciate what’s around me. It only takes a few seconds to look around you. What makes me smile? What brings me joy? This morning it is seeing green grass, spring is coming, endless trees in the forest, I can hear our rooster crowing. These things are always here, just waiting for me to pause and notice. …
The Bleeding Sacrifice
Isaiah 53:4-64 Surely he has borne our griefsand carried our sorrows;yet we esteemed him stricken,smitten by God, and afflicted.5 But he was pierced for our transgressions;he was crushed for our iniquities;upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,and with his wounds we are healed.6 All we like sheep have gone astray;we have turned—every one—to his own way;and the Lord has laid on himthe iniquity of us all. The Lenten season has grown to become a time of high importance to me…

Hide-and-Seek
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. PSALM 139:8 – 10 Our little granddaughter loves to play peek-a-boo. It is so cute to watch her hide her eyes behind her chubby little hands. …

WHAT THEY MEANT FOR EVIL-GOD TURNED TO GOOD
Our day started out just like all the other days. Get breakfast ready, fix lunches, feed the cat and get a few things ready so we can continue our adventure. We get to the church, and everything looks like we left it. I fix lunch and look around a little. The House is very spacious, and we enjoy watching the view. We are blessed to be in such a beautiful place with that dam view! It is a peaceful Saturday. …
Comfort
Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. –Romans 5:3-5 Comfort, it has so often been my goal. I can safely say that I have never looked to be uncomfortable on purpose. Why would I? That seems such a…
Shine The Light
You are the light of the world. A city on top of a hill can’t be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on top of a lampstand, and it shines on all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before people, so they can see the good things you do and praise your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16 CEB) One of…
Letter to the Church
Dear Church, “you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” 1 Cor 12:27 Paul writes, “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.…
