Have you ever grinded the gears in a manual transmission? You know that sound that it makes just appears as though you have done something wrong to the transmission. Well, all of us know that life sometimes can be a grind. So what do you do when all it seems like you keep doing is [...]

Jesus had just finished praying in the Garden and the next words recorded (Luke 22:31-32) to Peter are a warning and an encouragement. Jesus told Peter that Satan wanted to destroy him, but that Jesus had prayed for him. Here’s a thought. Could it be at the same time that God is working on us [...]

Here is a thought for today. Lying, you are only deceiving yourself.

With the world news of recent days I should have my head in my hands. But I found a scripture in Luke 21:28 that reminded me of my proper posture. Jesus said when you see all of these things, lift up your heads, because your redemption is near. This is our finest hour, the devil [...]

How are you spending your life?

One of the most perplexing things in the Old Testament is that the healing of the people comes from looking at a bronze serpent. How is this possible? In Numbers 21:4-6 the people were going by way of the Red Sea and the people began to murmur against God and Moses. The next thing that happened [...]

Have you ever wondered why it seems that the God of the New Testament is different than  the God of the Old Testament? We should stop and state that God is the same. Since that is true, why does it seem that people in the Old Testament are punished for unusual things? There was a [...]

Have you ever thought about the direction that you are heading in this life? Do you go about aimlessly being tossed about by every wind and wave? Or do you have a course charted for your life? Do you know where you are going and how you are going to get there? If you know [...]

I was reading Dennis Jernigan’s blog post entitled “The Joy of Temptation”, you can find it at http://www.dennisjernigan.com/the-joy-of-temptation.  He mentioned several things about temptation that helped me, but the one that I had never seen before was the idea of temptation that can lead you closer to God. Let me explain. When we are tempted [...]

Have you wondered where we got that expression? According to Naval History & Heritage , The expression Show Your True Colors originated as follows: Early warships often carried flags from many nations on board in order to elude or deceive the enemy. The rules of civilized warfare called for all ships to hoist their true national ensigns [...]

As I was looking at the news today I could not help but be overwhelmed by the amount of Bin Laden coverage. Personally I am glad that there is closure for the families and victims of the 9/11 tragedy, but I do think there will be a backlash. Those who are loyal to Bin Laden [...]

  Maybe you thought that saying originated with Allstate, but it could simply be stated about the scripture in Exodus 17:12. I am sure that you remember the story of Moses holding up his hands so that the children of Israel would win the battle against the people of Amalek. As long as the hands [...]

First of all let me express my condolences for those who have lost loved ones in the earthquake/tsunami  in Japan. It is interesting to see how different people respond to crisis. Some people fall apart, and some people walk around in a fog not sure what to do and then there are others who joke [...]

Lately I have been trying to figure out statistics for my grad class. Stuff like  mean, median, mode and standard normal distribution. Why didn’t I pay attention when I was in High school? My daughter got her braces put on last week. Her mouth is still sore and my pocketbook sure hurts! I have also [...]

Something occurred to me yesterday as I read in Exodus 6:5-6. God had promised to set the children of Israel free from the slavery in Egypt, so why did they still have problems after they left Egypt?  The answer. They were set free from their chains, but they still lived like a [...]

I have been ”drilling” my son and daughter on spelling words for the past two weeks. They are participating in the Grant County Spelling Bee. They have been spelling words like ”kinesiology” and ”ululate” and oh here is one more ”cumulonimbus”. Seems like to me there is a whole other world out there for those [...]
