Safely in the Father’s Arms
A couple of weeks ago, I had the wonderful honor of going with my son to pick up his first car. He wanted a project car and it flooded wonderful memories for me, taking me back 42 years to my own project car. A 1972 Ford Pinto station wagon that I paid $250 hard-earned dollars…

It’s All About Quantity
“Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.” Psalms 127:3 (NLT) When we choose to surrender our God-given assignments, the World will surely step in with ideas that pervert and prevent our achieving the God-assigned impact of our lives. I have said for years that the subtle erosion of men…

You Are Enough…
“Whatever the fears, encourage yourself to face them—and then turn them over to God. God loves you, and when we know Christ and have put our faith and trust in Him, we know He’ll never abandon us.” Rev. Billy Graham Several years ago a fantastic movie was released that chronicled the brilliance and egocentricities of…

Prison to Prime in One Day
I love the story of Joseph in the Bible. If there ever was a person who had the right to sulk and have a victim’s mentality, Joseph is the person. Beloved by his father and mother and hated by his brothers. Sold into slavery. Unjustly thrown into prison. Forgotten by the very man whose life…

I Wish You Fruit
As new years roar into our lives, I wish you the beauty and silence of life that only comes from the Father in Heaven. I pray that you will laugh in the face of the World’s evil and anger, confident in the love of the Father in Heaven. I wish that you will throw away…

There It Is Again…
“Do you hear what hear? A child, a child, crying in the night.” There it is again. Do you hear that? I’m telling you there is something different about that cry in the darkness that I am hearing. There. Again. Listen. A baby is crying. A cry like I have never heard before. Why is…

Expect the Unbelievable
“And you, my little son, will be called the prophet of the Most High, because you will prepare the way for the Lord. You will tell his people how to find salvation through forgiveness of their sins. Because of God’s tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us,” Luke 1:76-78…

We Are His
I wrote this off the cuff this weekend to encourage an incredible friend of mine. A true brother in Christ. A warrior in life. For someone reason, I feel someone else needs to hear this. To know this. To recognize and accept this. To acknowledge that you are remarkable in the eyes of the Creator…

How Will Your Epic Slog Read?
Job Prologue: “There once was a man named Job who lived in the land of Uz. He was blameless—a man of complete integrity. He feared God and stayed away from evil. He had seven sons and three daughters. He owned 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 teams of oxen, and 500 female donkeys. He also had…

Blind and Now I See, Deaf and Now I Hear
I readily admit that I am a crier and an emotional man of Irish decent. When our family joins in the very seldom event of watching a movie in either a theater or family room setting, my kids will place me on watch to see when I will certainly cry during an emotional theme or…
