THE THANKFUL MAN
A man was taking some time to give thanks for all the good things God had given him. He raised his hands heavenward and said, “Thank you God for my wife, for my children, for my job and for my friends.” Now, the devil, who detests all words of thankfulness,...
“IT WAS DARK”
When God created the world, Genesis 1:2 says, “IT WAS DARK.” But God didn’t stop there and say, “It sure is dark!” No! He continued with the words “Let there be light!” Now, Joel 3:10 says something that seems to be quite contradictory...
In the Stillness
It was quiet and still one morning as I took my morning walk. A thick blanket of fog covered the ground. There wasn’t so much as a gentle breeze stirring. I heard a noise in a nearby tree. An old dead limb crashed through the branches of the tree and fell to the...
WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE GOD’S NOT AROUND

Three years ago, during my yearly sabbatical in October, I was going to write my third devotional book. As I began to undertake the project I hit a roadblock of sorts. Things weren’t “flowing” like they should. A couple of days later, while on my morning prayer walk,...
SAY IT!
SAY IT SAY IT. Don’t just THINK IT or BELIEVE IT internally. SAY IT. SAY, “HE IS FAITHFUL.” SAY IT so your ears can hear yourself saying it. SAY IT because it needs to be said. SAY IT even if you’re not fully persuaded yet. SAY IT even if you can only say it as an act...
Mas Te Dulce Por Favor (More Sweet Tea Please)
