Gifts and Callings…
I think the song went something like, “I’m eighteen and I like it!”. That was me. Married and 18, with visions of becoming a rock and roll star dancing in my head. Christian? Nah, didn’t have the slightest interest in God, Jesus, Church, or anything associated with that sort of stuff. Little did I know……

What Encourages YOU?
I’m taking a survey. I’m wondering what things encourage you? What lifts you when you’re down? What gives you courage to face the unfaceable? How do you find strength to do the impossible? What gets you off the bench of self-pity and back into the game of life? What is the adrenalin for your soul?…

The Master Plan… my short story
It was a dark and dreary night, which seemed to last a lifetime. In fact, it was lasting a lifetime. The first 20 years of my life. Darkness and chaos describe my early years. Oh, sure, there were glimpses of light and order, hope and joy, now and then. But dreariness described my life as…

“The Times They Are A-Changin”
The Times They Are A-Changin’ Lyrics by Bob Dylan Come gather ’round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You’ll be drenched to the bone. If your time to you Is worth savin’ Then you better start swimmin’ Or you’ll sink like a stone…

Reverse the Cycle
“Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on…
