“Options” was written 10 years ago. It’s time to read it again today! They should have known better, those close advisors to this king whose faith in God was big enough to send a small stone at a large gian The counselors were only doing their job. They looked around, made assessments on […]

What Are The Odds?
It happened in a Major League baseball game in 1957 with Phildelphia Phillie’s batter Richie Ashburn at bat. He hit a ball out of bounds and into the crowd which hit Alice Roth in the face and broke her nose. As she was being attended to, Ashburn fouled the next pitch into the stands and […]
Sleepzzzzz
“Don’t you know he enjoys giving rest to those he loves?” Psalm 127:2 MSG It is estimated that sleep-related problems affect 50 to 70 million Americans of all ages and socioeconomic classes. I would hope that not many Christians are included in those statistics. But in spite of Psalm 127’s assurances regarding God’s desire […]
Lots Of Stuff – Only One God!
Oh, the stuff accumulating in our lives. Stuff that wearies us, confuses us, frightens us and lays claim to more of our sanity and time than it has the right to. Stuff like sickness, doctor’s visits, flu and covid vaccines, slowing steps as we age, worry over other’s health, sick days and eating […]
It’s Always Safe…
“Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity; I have [relied on and] trusted [confidently] in the Lord without wavering and I shall not slip.” Psalm 26:1 AMP What’s a person to do when health fails?

It’s we adults, who are apparently missing out on the unique characteristics of being children. And truth […]
Are Facts Enough?
When Jesus told his disciples to feed 5,000 plus people, the fact was they didn’t have a food plan nor the food to pull it off. In fact, the only food at their disposal was a boy’s sack lunch. But the facts weren’t all there was to this story! When Gideon went to battle […]
Make Room For Peace
“Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you …” John 14:27 What if God wanted to give you peace … and you had no place for Him to put it? God’s peace doesn’t come as an intruder. He comes only as an invited guest. He won’t kick someone or something out so He can […]
Trusting God / The Anatomy Of Trust – Part 6
Trust is sometimes rewarded with the answer … sometimes an answer or on occasion, no answer. Trust is not a creed we learn and repeat until memorized. Trust is confidence in a Person who has the ability to hear and respond when we turn to him. Trust does not ask for the suspension of reason […]
Sturdy As A Spider Web
“A man without God is trusting in a spider’s web. Everything he counts on will collapse.” Job 8:14 NLT How secure are the things or people you depend on? Ever been lied to by a salesman or politician? Did your warranty cover less than what you had been made to believe it […]
