A friend of mine asked me after church where I was going to me riding my bicycle that afternoon. After I told him where I was heading he said, “You don’t want to take a wrong turn.” The problem with his statement is that I was already concerned about riding out there since I had never [...]

So often it seems as though I’m trapped in the mundane activities that make up this life I live. I never thought I would find myself where I am today.

In the late 80′s I decided to start cycling as a sport. I really didn’t know much about it. I purchased a Road Bike from a friend who had just begun competing in triathlon’s. (The frame was too big for him) My first time out on my bicycle some idiot guys came by and opened their car [...]
God’s glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon. Madame Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures each evening. Their words aren’t heard, their voices aren’t recorded, But their silence fills the earth: unspoken truth is spoken everywhere. God makes a huge dome for the sun—a superdome! [...]

I miss those moments I once spent in a Canyon just west of Durango, CO. The memory of the fresh air and the quietness of that spot on our planet is intoxicating. It’s a place I really desire to go and visit once again. There is a small stream that flows down that is so inviting to [...]

Did you know that you can’t have an encounter with God and walk away the same? When you have an encounter with God your life is going to change. Moses spent 40 days on the mountain with God his face radiated with the glory of God. When you spend time with the LORD people are going to know it. [...]
Randall O’Brien has a book entitled, ”I Feel Better All Over Than I Do Anywhere Else”. A friend of mine is full of all sorts of corny sayings. One I remember him saying most is, “Wherever you are there you’ll be.” I recall working for an electrical contractor in Albuquerque. It was “just a job” to help pay [...]

We all have a mission in life. For some the ability to live it out comes with much ease. But for others living out the mission comes with much personal struggle, vulnerability, and sacrifice. But no matter what may come remain focused on Jesus Christ Jonah was given a mission but chose Tarshish. Saul lived [...]
Jesus said in John 14:15, “If you love me, keep my commandments.” Keeping the commandments our Lord laid out for us is how we show him that we love him. He has outlined for us in the Bible the way we are to live. Within in each word he has spoken we find life, direction, [...]

As I read Psalms in The Message, I see David’s unique way of communicating to God through praise and prayer. Today I’m reading one of his prayers found in Psalm 17. He begins with, “Listen while I build my case, GOD, the most honest prayer you’ll ever hear.” David does not lack confidence as he [...]
