I remembered this small event from my past, and I didn't really think it was "worth writing about" but I can't stop thinking about it, it has consistently popped up in my memory (that in itself is a surprise! - I'm old!) soooooo here it is. You have to remember this occurred 40 years ago! … Continue reading Highway Help

Know Your True Identity
This is a little long, but worth the read. From Josh McDowell and Ben Bennett: Whether you are regarded as somebody or nobody in your family, job, school, or church, you are somebody to God. Whether you achieve great or small things, your infinite worth and value to Him are undiminished. God thinks highly … Continue reading Know Your True Identity
A Winning Attitude
In the Worthy Brief devotion this morning, it encouraged us to be sure to not let ourselves develop a defeatist attitude: 1 John 5:4 "For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith." As we are entering some of the most turbulent times in … Continue reading A Winning Attitude
Location, Location, Location
That famous mantra of real estate agents - "location, location, location" - has been around a long time. Whether business or home, the location matters. Close to high traffic areas for businesses, close to schools or groceries for homes (for some people); but it also entails getting into a neighborhood that's considered safe and away … Continue reading Location, Location, Location
Clutter
A couple of men were taking their lunch break on the construction site, and as the younger man opened his lunch, he declared "Oh, no, bologna sandwich again!"

Pleasing God
God is the Most High God. YHVH, the Ancient of Days. Too many times we want Him to please us, and we take it for granted that He is pleased with us. With my great power and outstretched arm I made the earth and its people and the animals that are on it, and I … Continue reading Pleasing God
The Walking Dead, part 2
You might call them "spiritual zombies." (Although I, nor anyone I know, have never seen a 'zombie' like on tv.) John wrote in the 3rd chapter of his epistle: 18 Whoever believes in him (that is, Jesus) is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name … Continue reading The Walking Dead, part 2
The Walking Dead
No, not the tv show. (What’s up with the infatuation with zombies??) The other walking dead. Actually they’re not really “dead” as the world sees dead. Paul wrote to the church in Rome: 3Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were therefore … Continue reading The Walking Dead
Mercy and Judgment
Three blind men were taken to an elephant, and asked to describe it. One, feeling the tail, said an elephant is like a rope. Another, feeling the trunk, said an elephant is like a snake. The third, feeling a leg, said an elephant is like a tree. Spiritual blindness also prevents people from seeing the … Continue reading Mercy and Judgment
