Today, I was at The Church at Woodland.  During the time of worship I am sitting and writing in my journal.  I start to notice several families with their children sitting next to them.  I began to watch one little girl with a beautiful smile sitting in her mother’s lap.  This is what I wrote as I [...]

Genesis 2:7 “God formed Man out of dirt from the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life.  The Man came alive – a living soul!” (The Message). What a great morning it is!  I got up with a cold… chills all over.  The house is quiet and all I can hear are [...]

I wish I were smart on things that pertain to a lot that I don’t know. I attended a Passover Meal this week at The Church at Woodland.  It was a fantastic evening!  I was amazed at all the details that pertain to the Passover and how the Passover Meal tells the story of Jesus.  [...]

Lots of oil and blue lights

As a new Christian, I leaned a lot on my friends to show me how to live.  My friends back then are still my friends today.  It’s amazing that I am once again living in the community I grew up in - hanging with the same guys (And now their families). We were all together this past [...]

You know how sometimes when you wake up in the morning and you’ve got a song on your mind that you can’t get rid of all day long?  I had one of those the other morning.  It was a song that I really like and one I haven’t heard in 20 years or more.  It was [...]

A friend told me today, “What I tell people: is to pray and make your decision based on what God tells you.”  Have you ever wondered how someone can make a decision quickly?  I have.  I am not one to be quick with a decision.  (I will have to say I can be quick to second [...]

Death is no laughing matter…

You have got to read this story.  I have first hand knowledge and have laughed myself silly! http://onlyaglimpse.blogspot.com/2008/04/report-of-my-death-was-exaggeration.html Although what happened is very funny.  The real story of death is no laughing matter.  We all will die at some time appointed by God.  I believe God knows the date and the inscription that will be on our [...]

I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to come to this understanding.  God is amazing in how He teaches, leads, guides…. you name it.  He is amazing. I haven’t had a burning bush moment like Moses.  I haven’t had a Damascus Road experience like Paul.  God in His own way has used so [...]

…since you believed?

I have added a new link to my blogroll… it’s for Oswald Chambers Devotional.  Check it out from time to time or daily.  I go there daily. It’s interesting to see how many times I repeat myself by saying, “I can’t get over how many times I have read it and God use it for [...]
