Generosity (excerpt from eBook)
Windows of Heaven/Doorway of Destruction When I was a pastor, I always enjoyed saying to the congregation, “Please turn to Malachi, chapter three.” I’d hear little whispers, and once in a while, a groan or two. What was exceptional fun was to then add, “And no, I’m not preaching about the tithe today.” A few…

How Well Do You Do At Waiting?
Is suffering for a long time the same as long suffering? Does waiting for an answer to prayer endanger the lives of those near and dear to you? While you’re waiting for God to answer, do you cause others to “suffer” right along with you? If patience is really a virtue, how come we have…

The Man Who Would Be King
Once upon a time in a world much like our own, lived a man who had only one ambition. He wanted to be king. It didn’t matter to him which nation he ruled; he just wanted to be king. As far back as he could remember, he wanted to be king. Each night before he…

An Allergic Reaction? A New Allergy?
Is it just my imagination, or are there a lot more allergies and medical conditions affecting people these days? Is it a sign of the times? I just learned of a new allergy condition today. The FDA has just recently approved a new medicine to help control the symptoms. The medicine is completely organic, and…

Do The Opposite
Even though I may act as though I’m a well of information, I must say this: that absolutely and positively, beyond the shadow of a doubt… I don’t know everything. Just in case you were wondering. But I have learned one or two things along the way. But any 60 year old is bound to…
