We probably have heard the term "Mulligan". It is primarily used in golf when a golfer hits a bad shot and they are allowed to take another. In other sports and games it is also known as a "Gimee" or a "Do-over". Taking a "Mulligan" or "Do-over" is all well and good when playing a …
Are The Lions at the Door
In the past I have written about God giving me answers to questions, sometimes even before I ask them. The latest instance was this week when I was thinking about the Las Vegas shooting. As you know I am convinced we are nearing the end with all that has been happening: earthquakes, hurricanes, mass violence, …
Doing the best I can
Last week I talked about whether or not this was the beginning of the end times. Evidently the Rapture was supposed to happen last week (a fact I didn't know about when I wrote that post) and I have to assume either it didn't happen or I wasn't chosen. I thought a lot about the …
The Beginning of the End
Is this the beginning of the end? I am beginning to think it could be. Look around at the world today. This week alone there was another devastating hurricane and earthquake. There is a legitimate chance that we could find ourselves in a nuclear war, a true war to end all wars, and with it …
Look Up
We have talked about how there are times when we have to make choices and some of them will be quite difficult. It is these difficult choices that will fill us with the most fear. "What will happen if we make the wrong choice?" "What if something goes wrong?" This fear can paralyze us. I know …
Be Quiet and You Will Hear
When I take a look at the world around me I just have to wonder what happened. There is hatred and violence where ever we turn. It doesn't matter who you are, what race, religion or political affiliation, someone out there hates you. Who is to blame? There is no one person or even group that is …
You Need Three Legs for the Stool to Stand
I finally realized what I am missing in my life, self-discipline. I have patience and I have perseverance, but I do lack self-discipline. You only have to go as far as to look how I post in this blog. I'll go on a streak of writing a post every day or every couple of days, …
The Time is Now
It's been just about a year since I moved from the little house on the lake and completed a life transformation that began about a year before that. Reflecting on the past few years I can see such a difference from where I was then to where I am now, and I owe it all …
Thou Shall Not Censure
In my last post, I talked about the "Lost Books of the Bible". I briefly mentioned that there were many theories regarding why these books were left out of the accepted Bible. Most of these theories seem to point out to a specific agenda of the early Christians to make the bible say what they …
Lost but not Forgotten
When I first began this wonderful journey back to God, one of the first things I decided to do was to not only read the bible but also to determine if it is real. There are many who claim that it is a myth and that it was written in order to somehow control the world. …
