I have heard the question for 30 years of ministry, "What does God want me to do with my life?" Or the related question, "How do I know if this is what God wants me to do?" Then there is the statement, "Everything happens for a reason." Does God have a plan for my life? … Continue reading God’s Plan for Your Life

What has me so excited? I am GLAD you asked! After devotional and Bible Classes, I was talking with a … Continue reading That’s Me in the Corner

Is your desire to be a doctor, lawyer, teacher, to be wealthy, famous, a star athlete, or president (you would likely be a better choice than those currently vying … Continue reading What Will You Become?
I Heard It Somewhere
I read recently about a group of Nun's who found an interesting way to raise money for their convent. The convent is located near a natural mineral spring and this became the inspiration for their work. For $150 you can visit the Convent Spa and get a mineral bath, a full body message (from a Nun), and be treated … Continue reading I Heard It Somewhere
Clarity
This morning on the way to the study, I drove through fog. That is somewhat of an understatement. Had I a net, I might have caught a few fish swimming across the highway. The fog was thick when I pulled out of the subdivision onto the highway, I could not see very far. The first … Continue reading Clarity

Curls replied, … Continue reading Voting the Lethargic Ticket

A Spring Thing
Spring is here. I know this because the pollen count is around 9 out of 10. I do not need to check this on an official site, my eyes are evident and well as my nasal intruder defense mechanism. (Excuse me while I grab a tissue). As spring arrives many of us will get busy around the … Continue reading A Spring Thing
