Victor or Victim? Your Choice.
What if you just blindly accepted that everything that occurred in your past was to prepare you for what God has planned for your future? I am old enough to remember meeting many WWII veterans and people who had their lives interrupted by the psychotic goals of madmen in Germany and Japan. It was such…

What will you do with this day?

The Love of the Maker
Mamaw would get up about 4:30 am to make her homemade and World famous biscuits. Well, they were famous in our family and that was my whole world as a little boy. I remember there would be groans and begging from the teenagers and pre-teens aimed at Mamaw to ‘please start making the biscuits later,…

Experiential Ramblings
I’m not sure why God has placed upon my heart to reminisce about my childhood Christmas memories this year.

Perhaps it’s the…

This would have been around 1969 or 1970. The travel time was really…

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6) I remember driving up that little holler in Appalachia, KY called Crooked Creek, oftentimes with snow glistening…

There are No Victims Where Victors Roam
I love when I am blessed with someone who shares simple, beautiful, true wise words on social media. (It doesn’t happen often.) Recently I have seen a lot of posts about church hurt and the solicitation of things like ‘tell me your story’ or ‘share your church hurt.’ Pastors preparing to preach sermons on the…

Join Me
‘I can’t wait for you to get here.’ What if God is saying that to you right now? “In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put…

Purpose in All Things
“As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous— not even one.” Romans 3:10 NLT Did you know that Romans 3:10 was quoting Psalms 14 and 51, written over 1,100 years earlier? The point here is that God’s word is timeless and his message never changing. Be steadfast because God is steadfast and know without question…
