I DON’T FIT IN

I DON’T FIT IN

Sometimes, I have this strange feeling that comes over me from out of nowhere. I can’t fully explain it other than to say it just feels like I “don’t fit in” … like I can’t find my place. I can enter a room full of people who have similar interests and backgrounds,...
Time for Reflection

Time for Reflection

Upon seeing one of my recent reflection shots, a friend commented, “How do you get the water to be so so still in your reflections?” That’s the whole key to a good reflection photograph … you have to wait until the wind dies down. If there’s any wind, it causes...
FOR HIS NAME’S SAKE

FOR HIS NAME’S SAKE

I was teaching a group of elementary kids a Bible Lesson from Psalm 23. We got to the place where it says, “He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” One little boy said, “What does that mean, ‘for His name’s sake?’” I asked the little boy what...
FAITH… AND MICROWAVE OVENS

FAITH… AND MICROWAVE OVENS

A young man told me, “I shouldn’t have been baptized when I was 6 years old. I was too young and didn’t understand what I was doing.” He continued to talk about how children aren’t knowledgeable enough to make a decision of that magnitude until they get old enough to...
FIND THE HONEYSUCKLE VINE

FIND THE HONEYSUCKLE VINE

On one of my morning walks I came upon a honeysuckle vine in full bloom and stopped to enjoy the beauty and aroma that it offered. Moments later I came upon a poison ivy vine … and avoided it completely.  That’s what we’ve got to do in life. Enjoy the beauty … take it...
Just Send Your Word, Lord

A chill went down my spine one night as I taught a Bible Study at  the Men’s Home. We were studying about the centurion who asked Jesus to come and heal his servant. While Jesus was still far off, the centurion sent word to Him to not come to his house, but to just...
WHERE’S THE FLAVOR?

WHERE’S THE FLAVOR?

Have you ever had a cold or a sinus infection that was so bad that you couldn’t taste any of the food you were eating? I remember one time I was eating a nice, big, juicy $12 hamburger at a restaurant, but I had a sinus infection and I couldn’t taste anything. It...
CALL IT THE WAY YOU SEE IT?

CALL IT THE WAY YOU SEE IT?

I’ve heard people brag about their ability to be REALISTIC by saying, “I just call things the way I see them.” Now, why would somebody brag about something like that? It takes no special ability, insight or talent to “call things the way you see them.” It takes no...
SELAH!

SELAH!

One autumn morning when I woke up, the first thing I did was peek through the blinds to see what the morning looked like. I was stunned by the colors of one of the most beautiful sunrises I had ever seen. I looked at the clock. It was 6:36am. Hurriedly, I got my...
Standing in the Gap

Standing in the Gap

I was sitting in my living room one afternoon when I saw a FedEx truck pull up in front of my house. When the driver got out and opened the back door to his truck a strange thought popped into my head. I thought within myself, “I wonder if this guy has anyone in his...
