That First Morning
I’m gonna miss my friend Ross. I’m going to think about him every time I see a garbage truck, or someone playing a guitar left handed, or pull in my fishing line with a big, ol’ catfish hooked on the end. I’m going to miss his exuberance for Jesus, and his love for kids. He…

Two Evils
Agree or disagree: there are many evils in the world. Agree? I do. To a point. Lately, though, I’ve been thinking about a passage of scripture that speaks of only two evils. Just two evils. However, those two evils are responsible for mankind’s plight. Two evils powerful enough to enslave mankind with addictions, abusive…

Rick Stratton – Alive Forever!
I’ve been thinking about something lately; well, for the last couple of days. A friend of ours, a preacher named Rick Stratton, went to Heaven when his body just wouldn’t function any longer. Rick is quite a guy. We met him when he was a traveling evangelist. He was preaching for a pastor friend of…

People
People. Happy people, sad people. Skinny jeans people, stretch-waistband comfort fit jeans people. Athletic people, nerdy people, soft and flabby couch potato type people. Tattooed people, smelly people, brilliant people, way out people. Old people, young people, baby boomer people, plain baby people. Generous people, stingy people, couldn’t care less people, nervous Nellie people. Dope…

What Does God Hate?
God is love, but He still hates! What does God hate? Does He hate tattoos, or Christmas trees, or little fat Santas? Is He a hater of republicans, democrats, or both? Does He hate the United States of America, as some “prophets” have proclaimed? Just who, or what, does God hate? Maybe God hates Starbucks…
