Praying When I Should Be Sleeping

Lord God, You are eternal — eternally good, eternally loving, eternally merciful, eternally God. You were, You are, and You will forever be the God of the universe over every created thing.  You are beyond time and beyond comprehension, but not beyond our reach, thanks to Jesus. You sent Your Son, Jesus, to earth to …

Procrastination Woes

Don’t procrastinate! There! See, that helps, doesn’t it? If only it were that easy. I think some personalities are more prone to procrastinating than others. Maybe those who, like me, tend to put off things we find hard, that seem scary, or we don’t like doing anyway. Then there’s that matter of not liking conflict …

Full Circle

I was reminded of something very important today: “It’s not about you.” Yes, that’s the first line from the book #The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren and it’s true. We get so caught up in ourselves and what we’re doing and what’s going on around us, we forget about the big picture. We forget …

Feeding the 10,000

Tuesday and Thursday last week (June 7-9th, 2022), several thousand people of all ages flocked to Midlothian, Texas, to participate in the filming of a crowd scene that will be shown in season 3 of the wildly popular crowd-funded TV series called The Chosen about the life of Jesus.

Steps of Faith

Taking steps of faith can be scary. You don’t know how it’s going to pan out. You know you can’t do it, at least not well, if the Lord doesn’t show up to help you. But you wouldn’t need faith to do something you were comfortable with, right?  Stepping out of your comfort zone requires …

Attitude Adjustment

Have you noticed you don’t have to be up and about for very long each day before you hear some grumbling, gossip, or foul language? Maybe it’s your voice you’re hearing. It may seem like a legitimate response to something that just happened, like spilling a sticky drink all over your clothes and the floor …

Chosen

Since you clicked on this blog and are reading it, I believe you are chosen by God. That may sound a little kooky, but stick with me for a bit. I’m hoping you’ll come to realize you were put on this earth for a reason and it’s up to you to figure out what that …

Talking with the Lord

I’ve been practicing listening for the Lord speaking to me, whether it’s directly or through the Holy Spirit. So, the other night when I got in my car to drive to work (I work night shift) and a song from my worship list or a podcast didn’t automatically start playing as usual, I took advantage …

Missing Heaven

I’m going to step out and say something very unpopular in today’s culture: many people are going to miss out on going to heaven.
I know. That makes me intolerant, discriminatory, and close-minded, right?
