Censorship Still Exist
Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press are being attacked from every side. I will agree some of the things we say are harsh and hateful to some, but where do we draw the line? Today things ...
About-Face
Christians can be some of the most hateful, judgemental, single-minded creatures on earth. Bet that got your attention, but it is true. The holier than thou mentality is not biblical. Paul in ...
God, with skin on
What does it hurt us to be kind to one another? Yes, I am a devout Christian but I understand not everyone is. That doesn’t mean I can’t love those who a belief different from me. Confessi...

When You Least Expect It
Somedays God likes to just show off! (Okay, that’s JMO) I am reminded of an episode from M.A.S.H where Father John P. Mulcahy felt like he wasn’t doing anyone any good. Ah, been there done that...
Reality
We are all going to die. Matter of fact we are dying right now, each one us, just at different a rate. And for some reason death has being hanging my life for a few weeks. Not family but close...
God, with skin on
Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying ...
Don't Say A Word
I have always wondered why Job’s three friends said nothing to him for 7 days. Perhaps Job was in such an ugly dis-figuration, maybe the appearance was so shocking they had no words. And that i...
GSHH
Those little acronyms that have invaded our life’s. LOL, IMHO, LMBO, TFTBT, and the like. How did we communicate without them? Oh, we actually talked face to face. Eww, shutter the thought. ...
Aliens Among Us?
I never have been the conventional minister. Normal was always boring to me. I like to think and live outside the box, and some may say, outside the Bible. Here is the thing. The standard, oh...
A Battle of Wits
I ponder many things in life. And lately I have pondered the whole good verses evil. I have a problem trying to understand why God didn’t chose another path to redemption. For that matter why ...
The Walls Are Closing In
We are all human. Some have a greater capacity of being able to deal with life that others. And I don’t understand why. It’s one of those mysteries of life. And then there are those who t...
Survey Says?
How many Wisemen were at the manger? No cheating. And let the fun begin. I will check back, oh say, Monday and we will discuss the findings. Have a great week-end.
Spinning Out Of Control
Some days the silence is deafening. Maybe God is tired of me screaming and yelling at Him but right now in this season of my life, I feel He has abandoned me. Maybe it is just the holiday seaso...
The Law vs Grace
In biblical times, adultery was punishable by death. That was the law. And yet David not only commits adultery, but he also has Bathsheba’s husband killed. Where is the justice here? David sh...
Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde
We have all met them. Those people who on the surface appear to be nice people. And then Mr. Hyde jumps out. I tell some of my close female friends, they have multiple personalities, and I am t...
Some People Change
There is this misgiven idea that if I repent of my sins everything will fine. That is not the case. Sometimes the things we do have consequences that while we are genuinely sorry they can’t be ...
Heaven's Surprise--Borrowed
I was shocked, confused, bewildered as I entered Heaven’s door, Not by the beauty of it all, nor the lights or its decor. But it was the folks in Heaven who made me sputter and gasp– The thieves,...
Bah Hum Bug
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Maybe if you are a kid. And then that depends on your social status. If you are an adult…all bets are off. Christians celebrate the birth of Chris...
Chess Game?
I am not a Chess player. You have to be way too logical to play, to play well, you need to be on the higher end of the genius scale. But somedays that what my life feels like. The problem, som...
But what if I'm right?
The facts are someone is going to be wrong. Christian, Atheist, Buddist, Muslim, and all the many others. Someone is going to be sadly disappointed. When the smoke clears, we will see who is l...
Wolves in Sheep's Clothing
I don’t have to remind myself that I am not perfect. All I need to do is look in the mirror or at my body. They both remind me I am no Robert Redford. Some days I have a problem dealing wi...
Proof
We all want proof. Here is my dilemma this morning. Jesus spent most of His time telling His followers as well as His critics, “Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.” (John 4:4...
Pray for them who despitefully use you?
“Okay, I pray your brakes go out going down a hill, I pray a flower pot falls from a window sill, And knocks you in the head like I’d like to”..Some of you just laughed, and some of you are ...
Freedom FROM Religion
I find it interesting that the same amendment that gives us Freedom of Religion would, if read correctly, might and should give us the Freedom FROM religion. But I digress. My point this mornin...
