Squirrels
My family gave me a squirrel-proof bird feeder that has proven to be very accommodating to the squirrels. The “protective” wire that houses the seed holder gives them a nice foothold as they devour the seeds meant for the many beautiful birds that inhabit this area. Squirrels! There is an interesting dynamic as I observe…

What I love about grapefruit.
My daughters and I love grapefruit. We like the large ones with pink centers. We love the citrusy taste offset by the sweetness of a little sugar (Stevia for me the diabetic). We love them cold from the refrigerator. The exhilaration of the sensory blend of smell, taste and temperature delivers something very satisfying…and they’re…

Sixty Two
Sixty Two. 62! I have completed sixty-two years on this earth. The noise of those numbers keeps resonating in my mind. I approach my 63rd year with continued optimism. With expectation. With hope. Pursuing yet another significant career move to offer what a life of experience of some successes, of numerous failures (professional and personal)…

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…

Stay with me here.
Consider that the resentment, bitterness or just outright jealousy that may be aimed at you may have a purpose beyond what you can see. Most of us know the story of Moses.

A they shall remain nameless…
I am preparing the construct of a new book and was reading today about the two spies that Joshua sent in to explore the promised land, “especially Jericho.” Two men that we must assume were men of absolute integrity, incredible bravery, trustworthy to protect the entire nation of Israel and yet, nameless. Joshua 2. We…

For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.” Romans 13:11 (ESV) While teaching, I often reference how Potipher must have relayed to his wife that the Jewish boy she had falsely accused of…

Vigils Calling Us to Vigilance
“O soul, are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness you see. There’s light for a look at the Savior, And life more abundant and free. Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, In the light of His glory and…

“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…
