30oct15 JOB Contrary to popular opinion, I DO have a regular, well paying job. I work about 50 hours a week. The Lord uses it as a means to provide for a lot of the costs here. We are almost at 7000 a month in expenses,and the ministry is continuously growing. Along with my generous […]
STATUS QUO
23oct15 STATUS QUO When your home is a steady influx of people, it is hard to be in the status quo. Visitors keep you out of the rut. That’s why I love them. Especially if they don’t think like me or believe like me. I think the rut and status quo go hand in hand. […]
HOLINESS
15oct15 HOLINESS Holiness is the awareness of God’s Holiness. The closer we come to Holiness as human beings, the more un-Holy we feel. I am not speaking as an expert on the matter, only just one human being, trying to figure it out. As the old saying goes, “the further I go, the be-hinder I […]
Opposites
8oct15 Opposites Wouldn’t it make life more simple and less messy if we were more likely to be drawn to people whose personalities were more like our own, rather than those who are more likely to be our polar opposite? Still, opposites attract. Here’s a perfect example, Jesus. Jesus is perfect, we are not. He […]
HEAT
1oct15 HEAT I saw a meme in Facebook today. I liked it, because it made me examine myself, so I re-posted it. Like I said,, I journal through social media. Transparency is my number one rule. As a pastor, I was always taught to NOT be transparent. That did NOT work very well […]
CONVERSATIONS
CONVERSATIONS Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. Colossians 4:6 NIV In Spanish we say, walk with wolves long enough and you will begin to howl. The more you talk to good people, wise people, the more you will have grace. […]
LIKE
LIKE When you like someone, you like to be with them. There are things in their lives that you identify with which in turn, leads you to want to be like them in certain ways. Sometimes you may not like someone very much, but still find a way to love them. Certainly you can love […]
CROSS
Don’t let your belief in the cross come across as making you cross. More specifically, don’t make others cross because they think that you are cross. The message of the CROSS alone can make others feel uncomfortable. There is no need to pollute it’s power with our feeble feelings. This weekly blog is a journal […]
SPITE
Spite! Such a spiritual word. It has affected the lives, and probably the souls of many people. The dictionary terms it a ‘malicious act’. Translated from Latin, it means evil. I think it comes more from the word ‘spit’, as in spitting poison. The only way to spit poison is if you have it […]
TIME
Alwyn Wall sings a song ‘time waits for no one, and it won’t wait for you’. Americans are obsessed with time. You can loose a friendship, or a job, by being 15 minutes late to a meeting. Time is important though. Most importantly in a time of need. People ask me why I do […]
