No prank calling

A busy signal? Nope “Hold please.” No ma’am or sir. “Please press one to speak to someone in healing, two for someone in forgiving, and three for someone in saving.” No way. When you call on Jesus, you will get Him directly.  You won’t get a computer generated...

This is so cool!

Last Friday night, a guy from MOSI (The Museum of Science and Industry) in Tampa was at our hotel in Clearwater, Florida. He had his hi-tech telescope set up to view the stars and planets. It was awesome! I saw Saturn’s rings as clear a can be. I joked with the...

Be consumed

1 Kings 18:1-46 v. 37, “Back again” The people knew, but had been led astray. They needed a reminder. That reminder came from Elijah, or I should say through Elijah, yet from God. I love the story of Elijah and the prophets of Israel. You see, the people...

A Solider's Homecoming

I have never had the experience of a loved one going off to war and wait for them to return home.  I know parents and spouses of those brave men and women who fight for our country, who have, and some still are, and I can just imagine their homecoming reunion. Picture...

Come out of the closet.

Are you afraid to let others know that you are a follower of Christ?  Do you worry what others may say about you?  That’s how Joseph of Arimathea was at one point.   He was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly feared the Jews (John 19:38). Well, come out of the...

Sounds familiar

Do you "know-it-all"?

“If you refuse to be corrected, you are only hurting yourself. Listen to criticism, and you will gain understanding.”  Proverbs 15:32-33 There are times we want to think we’ve got it all under control, we know all there is to know, or it’s hard to admit “I was wrong”....

Why are you smiling?

“A smile makes people happy. Good news makes them feel better.”  Proverbs 15:30. I had to giggle when I read this verse this morning.  I have just had the conversation with my family this week about smiling.  The other day, Holly and I were at the hair salon.  When I...

Prayer, Prayer, & more Prayer

Prayer is powerful! In this morning’s scripture reading, prayer was a dominate topic. I read a prayer Jesus prayed in John 17, the end of David’s prayers in Psalms 72, and in Proverbs 15:29 we read, “The LORD is far away from the wicked, but he always hears the...

?, Thoughts, Yes!

So many thoughts are running through my head today when reading this morning’s scriptures from “Walking in the Word”.  A couple of questions (please help me if you know the answer or have an idea), a couple of thoughts, and just a good ole verse to share. Questions: ...
