“When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul.” I have posted the story of the song “It is Well” before and in the face of the tragedy that has unfolded in Texas, it seems inadequate yet relevant to post…

The Fishing Shirt
I remember the day vividly when the old guy saw me on the closeout rack. I was already reeling from the fact that no one had chosen me for the purpose that I thought I had been created. They had cut me, sewed me, assigned me a title and hung me on that rack in…

For whoever needs to know this. You are loved.
Can I tell you a love story so marvelous to tell and too lasting to understand? A love that can only be accepted. It’s a story about love, rejection, correction and election. A story of choice with bitter ends and beautiful beginnings. A story of a love so deep, so wide, so far, so…

Life’s Blessings
My first book, “What if You Choose a Regret Free Life” (www.myronmullins.com) is weeks away from release. And God has placed two more books on my heart, one of which is my experiences as a boy and young man with ‘my people,’ from Rockcastle County, Ky, aka Appalachia. I am so excited to share my…

The Prisoner and the President
“Do you know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior?” These are the words that my friend and brother in Christ asked our waitress yesterday as we finished up our lunch. I was not surprised. Several years ago, Stephen and I were introduced to one another, sitting over burgers at Litton’s Restaurant in Fountain…

One year my elementary school was going to have an Easter egg hunt with a prize for the student that collected the most eggs. Now my mom and dad were frugal people, certainly by necessity and equally by choice. Their Appalachian…

The Day Before
“You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out. before a single day had passed.” Psalm 139:16 (NLT) The day before. The day before Jesus’ death, he knew. The day before his death was filled with purpose as was his entire life. …

Would You Have Listened?
My dad became infinitely strong in my eyes, when he became most vulnerable through confession to me. “When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.” 1 Corinthians 13:11 ESV I choose laughter. I…

Another Day
I’ve always been an early riser. And that does not mean that I don’t sleep in. I often get up between 3:30 am and 4:00 am and read. Pray. Drink coffee. Ponder. Write. Years ago I read a life impacting statement addressed to people like me who ‘are not good sleepers.’ What does that mean? …

Jagless
NOTE: No Jaguar owners were harmed in the writing of these thoughts. Years ago I found myself sitting in the Jaguar of Palm Beach dealership. Now this statement alone is fraught with all kinds of contradictions and raises more questions than I can answer. But there I was, sitting, observing, squirming and feeling completely out…
