So how's the whole Lent thing working out for you? Keeping all those Lenten resolutions? Yeah, same here. Out of four, I've kept one and a half. No excuses, I'm just a slug. But why should Lenten resolutions be any different than anything else in my life - half done? Maybe it's just the old …

A Test of Faith
My last post dealt with a custody battle involving a Facebook acquaintance of mine. I asked the question "What do we do when there are two wills involved?" How do we know which is God's? My friend made the comment that if one more person told her it was God's will that her daughter's father …
You Say You Want a Revelation
My apologies to John Lennon for using a line from one of his songs but I couldn't help it. I have been looking into the Book of Revelation over the last week or so and this line kept going through my head. I have always wondered about this book as it seems pretty scary until …
Bring Back the Sheep
Today is Good Shepherd Sunday. The gospel reading is John 10:11 - 18. This is where Jesus tells us that He is the Good Shepherd. He then describes what a good shepherd does. We learn that a good shepherd will lay down his life for his sheep. If a lion comes into the flock, the good …
The Two Ways

Are the Animals Lining Up
As I am sitting here listening to the rain tattooing the roof of the building I am in I am wondering if this will be going on for another 39 days. Of course, I know that God promised Noah that it wouldn't happen again, but could he change His mind? No, because he doesn't renege …
Strong Roots and a Good Foundation
Let's change course for a post or two since I am sure you are tired of hearing about my signs. Don't worry though, I have plenty more of them to share. Today I want to talk about Jeremiah 17: 5 - 10. Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose hope is the LORD. He …
Knock and it will be open part 2
Let's continue with yesterday's theme. Was this really a sign from God or was it just a coincidence? I am 95% sure it was a sign from God, especially now that I look back on other signs God has giving me. I will be getting into those other times as we go along but for …
