…do they mix? I’m a conservative that votes Republican unless I can be convinced otherwise… That hasn’t happened – yet… The VP pick by McCain sealed the deal for me for President… Not that it wasn’t already sealed - it’s just now it’s been sealed with some excitement!  I watched the Democratic National Convention and heard once [...]

My prayer life with God has been on the forefront of my mind.  Several things have brought me to this place.  Conversation with friends, reading, and circumstances.  Out of all these things has come Whispering Secrets, Just how important is it? and now “…willful, deliberate prayer.” Life is full of so many surprises.  I wonder how many of [...]

 James 4:17, “To know to do good and not do it is sin.”  I don’t want to find myself in a place where I am out of touch with God and His working in my life.  I don’t want to get to a place where the needs I have are the first thoughts I have [...]

I’m so very tired tonight.  I’m literally worn out.  I got up this morning not feeling good and as the day has continued… my emotions are now running a bit thin.  Too many details as to why.  I was driving to a friends house to pick up something and just drove about 4-5 miles past my [...]

Bullet the Blue Sky

Posted: March 29, 2008 in Bible Study, Faith, McManus, U2

Is there a difference between ”American” faith and “Biblical” faith? Our society tends to Americanize everything – to the point that what we preach is only relevant to Americans. “What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen.” Hebrews 11:1, NLT. “The fundamental fact of existence is that this [...]

Walking by faith

I have been listening to some vintage Christian music the past few days.  It’s been a very encouraging experience to listen to some tunes that are over 20 years old.  So much of the music I listened to then really shaped my young Christian life.  Petra, Whiteheart, Russ Taff, Stryper, Jerusalem, and U2… they each have had their [...]

The sweetest thing

Posted: March 10, 2008 in Love, U2

 In the words of Bono, “Ain’t love the sweetest thing”.  Well, it is sweet.  The Bible tells us love is the greatest thing.  If love is so sweet and so great why is it so hard? Yesterday I referred to my sons favorite movie and the battle Peter Parker had with his dark-side.  His love for his Uncle [...]

pride in the name of love

I know a group of guys that just blow me away.  I’ve known some of them for a few months and others for over 20 years.  You know what… more than them blowing me away is what I see God doing in their lives… that’s what really excites me!  I take great pride in knowing them [...]
