It’s The Right Thing To Do
Have you ever had “one of those days”? You try and say the right thing, just to help out some poor soul, but everything you say is twisted around and used against you. And all you wanted to do was help out a damsel in distress. That’s what happened to the apostles Paul and Silas…

The Pen and The Phone
This morning I was sitting in the neighborhood cafeteria, waiting for some friends to arrive; ink pen in my pocket and phone in my hand. While I waited I watched a little bit of MSNBC, something I don’t do very often. The topic of conversation was President Obama’s new phrase, “I’ve got a pen, and…

The Three Legged Race
Have you ever tried running in a three-legged race? I have, probably about 6-7 years ago. It’s not an easy feat to master, but with a little practice and a few well placed, practical tips it can be kind of fun. The three-legged race is a lot like walking in agreement, or walking in harmony…

Which Fountain Are You Drinking From?
Do you ever say, “I don’t feel like praising or worshipping God”? Does it sometimes seem like God hasn’t been truthful with you, or has let you down? Do you ever feel like he’s abandoned you? If so, maybe you need to drink from a different fountain. What do I mean? All around us are…

Liberal God or Conservative God?
You may think I’m nuts, crazy, and loony; and maybe I am. But I believe God is the biggest liberal this world has ever seen or known! Yep! Bigger than George Soros. He’s also the biggest conservative ever. Yes, even bigger than Ronald Reagan. Allow me to explain myself; beginning first with “liberal“.
