Should we cancel church? I worked as a janitor at a church for 18 years. One of my duties was snow removal, putting out icy melt and making sure folks could get in the building safely. I cleared steps and made safe paths to the parking lot where a plow would come and clear theContinue reading “Shoveling Snow At Church”

Standing On Faith
What does it mean to wait on God? There’s a verse in Isaiah that people like to quote. “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”—Isa. 40:31 Tough times comeContinue reading “Standing On Faith”
Summer In A Vase
Kimo Ode to Van Gogh’s Sunflowers Summer in a vase, the sunflowers stand.Golden petals bring a smile.A reflection of life. Warm sunny days captured in memory;held aloft by towers green.Blazing heads bowed in prayer. Creating its own light, of youthful joy.Subtle burning energyof our eternal soul. Long lost memory of a home to dwell.A placeContinue reading “Summer In A Vase”
God Is Not A Slave Driver
He is our Father and Friend We often have a wrong view of who God is. We are raised to have certain views. We are taught in church to have a certain view. We can listen to demons and thoughts that blame God for what we are dealing with in life. Those thoughts that beatContinue reading “God Is Not A Slave Driver”
By Faith…

It was a means of going insane for a bit. It’s strange. There was a moment when IContinue reading “Recovery For The Holidays”
God Will Come Running
When we turn to Him Jesus tells us a story about a young man who left home and went to make a name for himself. (Luke 15:11-32) It could be a kid going to college with his parents credit card. Or a kid chasing a dream with his fathers support and blessing. We know thisContinue reading “God Will Come Running”
The Sign of Christ In You
Are you sure you know Him? The sign of Christ in you is not that you work to quit sinning. It’s not that you pretend to be sinless, and go to your church every time the doors are open. The sign is that you confess that Jesus came in the flesh, and confess Him asContinue reading “The Sign of Christ In You”
God Will Establish You
It’s a promise This world is a tough place. It’s supposed to get us to wake up and turn to God, so He can save us and help us. We fall on tough times. We have a spouse who betrays us. We have kids who reject us. We have friends and family who throw usContinue reading “God Will Establish You”
