Unspeakable Joy
“I just screamed. I was so happy. It was just pure elation and just a visceral, emotional reaction to not only being home, but people there coming to us and bringing us out — just unspeakable joy.” Reid Wiseman, Commander Artemis II Commander Wiseman, who said he is “not really a religious person,” may have…

Go to H-E-double hockey sticks!
I remember as kids that we would so loosely say this to each other in anger, not understanding what we were saying. “The demons kept begging Jesus not to send them into the bottomless pit.” Luke 8:31 (NLT) If I could pray one prayer for you beyond eternal salvation, it would be that you would…

They will take a mile…
Think about this. Thirty (30) years ago firearms were effectively outlawed in the UK. Today in England, Scotland and Wales, you can and likely will be prosecuted for ‘offensive’ social media posts. The once great leader on the World stage has effectively been castrated as evidenced in its stance toward current events. So who determines…

Irrefutable Identity
I have recently been in a Season that I would have never expected to find myself for the remainder of my life. A Season that I believe Satan intended for utter destruction and God allowed to reinforce within me who and whose I am. A Season of attack that continues to backfire on Satan as…

“Dad said the ‘S’ word!”
Do as I say, not as I do. Hmm, or not. (This may be the off ramp for some of my social media ‘friends’) “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear”…

There are all kinds of ways to quickly cook barbecue but any ‘barbecue master’ will tell you that the final result is in the preparation. I am somewhat of a pork tenderloin and babyback ribs master. My secrets? Haha, wouldn’t you like to know! How do you think the Israelites would have looked upon God…
