“Finish what you started and don’t let your good intentions grow stale. You’ve got what it takes to finish your project, your program, your contributions…for you do it in the spirit of what you can do and and can give and not according to what you cannot.

Free Fall
When we suddenly fall and find ourselves hurt physically, we are at first startled and then in total disbelieve that an accident could happen in a split second that would change our whole day or days ahead. However, there is something far worse in the spirit that can happen and if not changed could leadContinue reading “Free Fall”
What do you think?
Philippians 4:8 (The Message) “Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heardContinue reading “What do you think?”
The Gifts

America needs prayer. Will you pray?
After watching the evening news today, I asked myself, “is the world in worse shape than when I was younger or am I just becoming more aware of its problems as I get older?” I wondered if my dad when he was my age watching the Vietnam war, gas crisis and anti-war protest thought theContinue reading “America needs prayer.

Armor
I realize that most of our knowledge is an accumulation and compendium of concepts, ideals and truths we have gleaned from the Scriptures, God’s teachers of the Word and life experiences. But the Holy Spirit has been making the following a personal revelation to me. Recently, as I was driving to school (a 32 mileContinue reading “Armor”
