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 …

Sunday Reflection: Do Not Disbelieve
Are you a doubting Thomas? Do you need proof that Jesus is real? Do you need to be able to see and touch the holes the nails made? (John 20:19 - 31) It can be hard to believe in something you can't physically see or touch. But it can be done. Many years ago when …
I am constantly amazed, although I shouldn't be, how something that was written almost two thousand years ago is still so relevant today. Of course I am speaking of Holy Scripture. Let's take a look at "The Parable of the Wicked Tenants" or "The Parable of the Tenant Farmers", Luke 20:9 -18. “A man planted a …
Happy New Year
Happy New Year to all of my loyal readers, I wish both of you a happy and healthy new year. Okay, I know by the stats I get that there are more than two of you that read this, not many more, but more. This is the day of the year for reflecting and planning, …
In Life There are no Mulligans
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
