    Some have treated me with disrespect, some have lied to me, others have gone behind my back to cause me harm. I have also had troubles with secular […]

    Update 08/31/09: See a related article here.
    I hear a lot of people speak about things that happen “by coincidence.” Personally, I do not accept anything as being coincidental. Instead, I believe that it is God’s […]

    I love my new son-in-law and consider him to be my newest son.  But I did give him some words of […]

    Thanks for stopping by, Tom – and for leaving a comment!
    I have been preoccupied over the past few months and let my writing slide into the background. I hope to have more articles out soon (and be more regular […]

  • Ray wrote a new blog post: Brothers Malaprop 10 months ago

    ThumbnailRecently, I met two men whom I have named “The Brothers Malaprop.” These two are continually recounting stories that happened to a friend of theirs from back in Mississippi. The friend has made lot of money, even though he is not well educated. The stories are all about this friend’s “habit of misusing words ridiculously, especially by [...]

  • ThumbnailEver heard the phrase, “You can’t get there from here?” Well, although it is possible, Google Maps (step 10) suggests that the trip from “China” to “Taiwan” is going to be pretty difficult. Try it yourself.  Visit maps.google.com and enter “Dongjing Dao, Fujian, China to Bali District, Taiwan” (without quotes) into the search box and hit…[Read more]

  • Ray commented on the blog post Casey Anthony Verdict 10 months, 2 weeks ago

    The only hope for them – or us – is to know that broken lives are like mis-cut diamonds. They can never be as GREAT as they could have been, but they can still be perfect diamonds.
    We need to pray for them.

  • ThumbnailEarlier today, the jury in the trial of Casey Anthony returned a “Not Guilty” verdict. Were they correct? Or, did Casey Anthony actually murder her 2-year old Caylee? Is this the miscarriage of justice that so many are claiming in the social media? I am not in a position to render a “righteous judgment”* so I will leave [...]

  • ThumbnailEveryone is destined to die and face judgment The headline is a slight paraphrase of Hebrews 9:27. Although the Bible does not (in that place) state that there is a judgment at the time of death, almost everyone alive assumes it so. The mantra heard at every funeral is ” He/she is in a better place ” is the [...]

  • Ray commented on the blog post Stoned on the Sabbath? 11 months ago

    Good point of discussion, John. I hope I do not kill the discussion here. But I would like to put in my two cents worth ;-) . People of the OT were extremely limited in their ability to know God. They had no Bible – nor the ability to read. They only had a code of [...]

  • Good Word – and nice handout. Reminds me of someone else’s technique. (grin)
    Keep up the good word. BTW, call me when you have some time to talk about something related to this.

  • Ray commented on the blog post Endurance 11 months, 2 weeks ago

    This is so true. There are still so many things about the Word of God that I don’t understand. Some feel that you can just SPEAK something in the Name of Jesus and all your difficulties will disappear. I have not found that to be true in life – nor in the Word. You may [...]
