A Little Girl Goes Overboard

A friend of mine recalled a story when the family went white water river rafting. “My Daughter Eden was about 10 and our river guide said she could sit on the front of the raft with her feet dangling over. The river was calm so I did not worry, but just as I felt comfortable […]

Making a Little go a Long Way

Last Wednesday I was at our evening prayer meeting at Church, and the theme was gratitude. I was thinking of how often we grumble over the high cost of things, or complain about the things we don’t have. Seems like every way we turn we see less having to go farther, or things simply being […]

An interesting thing happened Sunday

I went to the annual Super bowl Party at the church. I suppose about 30 people showed up, and there was a lot of good snack food. I guessed that there was around 20 guys and about 10 or so ladies in all. So at around the end of the first quarter, the ladies were […]

The Jury is Out!

January 7, 2021 I had a dream last night that a group of people were praying. They were in a small section seated together as if they were a Jury. One would say, “Next up we need rain. All in favor?” and if one didn’t raise their hand, they would deliberate until all were in […]

October 10, 2020 Many have been talking about hearing various pastors and Prophets talking about a coming revival. This has been echoed in Churches, on religious air broadcasts, and just about anywhere the current state of Christianity is discussed.

Know the Father, not Just About him!

I’ve been musing about the intentions of people that would say they know God, but are always trying to muddy the faith. Someone recently said to me, “There’s good and evil in God, otherwise you can’t justify all the wars in the Old Testament.” Most Christians really don’t know the Word, only what others have […]

Proud Petty People We Are

Sunday, April 27th, 2014 I propose that a possible reason for our lack of ability to walk in the supernatural, is that God opposes the proud. When problems come our way, our reaction is to combat it so that we will live in comfort. If that doesn’t work, we feel defeated and wanting. Everything has […]
