You Don’t Have to Work… But You’ve Got to Fight!
In Egypt, the Israelites WORKED and they WORKED HARD… but they never profited from their work because they were slaves… their WORK only benefited their taskmasters. But, when God led them to the Promised Land this is what He offered them: “Then it shall come about...
INVOKE A BLESSING
I was leading a Bible study on the Feeding of the 5,000. I asked a young man in the group to read the story aloud for all in the room to hear. He was reading from one of the newer translations of the Bible. When he got to the place where it says that Jesus BLESSED the...
SPIT OUT THE BITTERNESS
I picked up a few dozen pecans on my morning walk and cracked several, and ate them as I walked along. They were sweet and delicious. After eating about 5 or 6 I told myself inwardly, “Okay, this is your last one” and I shelled one last pecan and popped it in my...

Have you ever had a dream that was so “real” and life-like that it just stuck with you? Well, I had one of those dreams one morning right before I awoke from sleep. It was a dream about a solar eclipse. When I woke up I was able to immediately attach a meaning to the...
Hide and Seek
When my kids were preschool age they liked for me to play “Hide and Seek” with them in our home. It was always a challenge for me to find a hiding place that could conceal all 6 feet 3 inches of my frame. One particular day I remember cleverly concealing myself behind...
You’re Just Gonna Have to Forget About That!
My dog, Archie, and I were returning home from our walk one morning and, as usual, Archie was pulling on his leash trying to get out ahead of me. Suddenly, without any warning, he took a detour from the pathway as if being pulled by an unseen force. Actually, it...
