When we read the story of Noah, we are amazed at the detailed instructions he gave Noah. He told Noah exactly how to build the ark. 14 “Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch inside and outside. 15 This is how you are to make it: The ark will…

Someone once told me that my lack of obedience when they felt I was supposed to obedience was proof that there would be no real change in my life. I would just revert to my old nature and that was my lot in life. It was rather disturbing. God is opening a new door for…

Yesterday I was joyful to share that Jesus, the Good Shepherd, knows our name. We as sheep, know him by His voice. Anything else that speaks to us through the spirit, is a stranger and we should run and scatter from that voice. As Christians, we need to get very familiar with the voice of…

I was thinking about my goats the other day. I had dropped my kids at the airport and on my way back I took the country roads. I thought of each of them and a thought came to mind. They each had a name. There was Brownie that we nicknamed Duck. She looked like she…

Yesterday I had the opportunity to sit with my oldest daughter. We were waiting on her fiance’s family to all arrive. They are taking a two week vacation to Florida. I was driving part of them in her finance’s car to the airport and returning his car to their home and picking up Charlie dog…

I heard a story about a preacher who saw a pattern. Year after year people would get excited, come to the tent revivals. They would make a tearful confession at the altar.

I had someone tell me that it was too late for me. That because I was not in obedience to God I would just return to my old ways and that God deemed it was too late for me. They used a passage of scripture to justify (just-a-lie) their position. I had a huge problem…

13 when we are slandered, we respond graciously. Even now, we are like the scum of the earth, like everyone’s garbage. 1 Corinthians 4:13 Garbage, Paul? Did you know that sarcasm is in the Bible? In 1 Corinthians 4, Paul addresses his fellow brothers and sisters in the body of Christ. They had started to preach…

I found myself in a place, a year ago, of great confusion. While in a therapy session I described a situation to my therapist. I laid out all the events and what was spoken, but also this confusion because nothing was as spoken by a person. What this person said was not matching what they…

I came across this saying a while back. There was a really dumb saying most people my age (late 30s early 40s) will remember. It became the cornerstone of schools and guidance counselor posters all over school. Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words won’t. What an incredibly dumb campaign! Satan knew what…
