Life Is Short
Life is short. So brief. It’s like an early morning mist covering a quiet, peaceful valley. For as soon as the sun rises, casting its illuminating rays into the valley, the mist and shadows are gone. So short. So brief. Even someone blessed to see their years extend into the 80’s, 90’s, and 100’s, have…

California Speedway: The Five
I’ve driven by the Iowa Speedway, just outside Newton, Iowa, a number of times. Always thought it would be cool to take my Outback on it and drive around real fast; that is, if I was the only one on the track. Never have done it, though, and probably never will. However, I HAVE driven…

Why Zombies?
Zombies. Not much to look at, hard to converse with, and their stink is worse than their looks! Oh, and a word of advice: NEVER trust one. They have nothing to lose if caught in a lie. The walking dead. Who would have thought it? And why the fascination? Is it because people relate to…

The Tree, The Pole, and The Cross
It was around 6000 years ago that God created the Heavens and the Earth. He also created mankind, as well as a Garden in which man was to live. In the Garden there were many trees; trees of all kinds. And among them all, there were two special ones. One, the Tree of Life; the…

The Message For This Moment
“I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases…

The depth, the resources, of God’s power. Every time God’s will is done in Heaven BUT NOT on earth – the cry goes forth, “where is the power of…

Four Anchors
Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors sensed that they were drawing near some land. And they took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, they took soundings again and found…

A Steady Stream
“Next Jesus was taken into the wild by the Spirit for the Test. The Devil was ready to give it. Jesus prepared for the Test by fasting forty days and forty nights. That left him, of course, in a state of extreme hunger, which the Devil took advantage of in the first test: “Since you…

“Drop Kick Me Jesus…”
“Drop kick me Jesus…” A cute little song by Bobby Bare. God NEVER intended for His people to barely make it through this life and into the next, without a testimony of His power and victory evident in their life. “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His…

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?…
