The Salvation-go-round
Oh my goodness it was good to get back to Bible Study Fellowship last night. I have been starved for anything that would connect me and another person to God. The one time I was to my own church ...
Optimistic
"I remember You upon my bed — and meditate on You in the night watches." — Psalm 63:6 Rough at times today, living in a hefty bubble of loneliness but I know progress when I feel it. Went out ...
So Tired
I am plug wore out after staying up way too late last night (read 5:30 a.m.) watching a movie and being woke up early by a phone call and then getting far more exercise than I intended, which was...
Final Goodbyes
http://youtu.be/i7bVQXG10-w Closing out 2013 I could share much but this song rather says it all. The year filled me with friendship, love, kindness, loss, renewal, faith, generosity, perseveran...
Cold and Broken
The Winter Of My Life has arrived, ushered in with emotional, physical, financial, spiritual and personal ruin, leaving me utterly emptied, broken and ready for God to shape me into whatever He h...
Christmas Night
I can't even write yet. Maybe tomorrow.
God Trumps Experience.
We have received . . . the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God —1 Corinthians 2:12 My experience is not what makes redemption real— r...
Seventy Times Seven
Another day I wasn't able to be out of bed much. I put in maybe 20 minutes of facebook, a few minutes spinning through a bit of writing. The way I'm feeling it has to be soon that I start feeling...
Backslidin' and The Christian
Backslidin' and The Christian http://youtu.be/Zy2PfoSu08I I backslid, not for the first time nor the last certainly, but backslid enough for some Christians to turn their back on me and walk awa...
Dying Unto Self
Tonight finds me beyond tired for so many reasons. Mostly it is due to my fourth round of medication changes in six weeks. My body is feeling defeated, my mind like Swiss Cheese and my personalit...
So Unworthy Of His Grace

Hallelujah
I heard this song for the first time tonight. In fact it is the first time I have ever heard of Lyle Divinsky as well. After listening to a half-dozen of his songs I found this one touching. Such...
Just As I Am
I could not better describe where I am in my walk with Christ today. "My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end...
What Is Not Seen
"Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. When tempted, no one s...
Trumping Yesterday With All I Need
www.youtube.com/embed/qyUPz6_TciY?rel=0 I come, God, I come I return to the Lord The one who’s broken The one who’s torn me apart You strike down to bind me up You say you do it all in love That...
Cukoo's Nest
Around and round the mulberry bush the monkey chased the weasel, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, and Mary (or whatever her name really is) was quite contrary, and nobody could put poor Humpty t...
My Sinful Heart Has A Big Mouth
An old saying, “If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all” comes to mind tonight as I am unable to rest with a deeply convicted heart. That old rule of thumb can serve as a double...
So You Want To Be A Baptist
Perhaps by the end of our discussion I wasn't so sure I wanted to be a baptist in that church, but the whole reason for the discussion was to ferret out more about what this crowd thinks and beli...
Of Course You Can't See It
http://youtu.be/qyUPz6_TciY Something I wanted to share with a friend today. I know he'll understand. I pray I can work these thoughts into my spiritual life so deeply as to live like that.
On Further Thought
I was in the final paragraph of a windy, uninteresting to anyone but my ego kind of entry when my mouse pad read my shadow and closed my browser and caused the entry to be lost forever. I need to...
The More I Know
A week ago life seemed to be falling back into place, gaining a certain flow, and I making what seemed potentially rational decisions about my immediate future. Tonight I'm stumbling around with ...
Thanks For Critical Deliveries
Oh Lord you bless me with the overwhelming moments when the brethren and I get down to bare bones, sit in your presence and mull over our life in Christ being most important in all we do. I'm bro...
Spurgeon Sermon For Two Or You
Thought provoking. "As it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath reveale...
When All You Can Do Is Pray
My friend Judi moved from the hospital into a rehabilitation center today. I'm happy for her because she is in one of the most top-drawer places I've ever seen. She likes the food and I think she...
Calls And Answers
Nearly a year ago I was called to a hospice situation that resulted in developing a special friendship with a woman 20 years my senior. I cared for her dying mother around the clock for five week...
Book Description
On September 10, 2012 I received the following message,
“On this day, God wants you to know
that as you surrender to divine providence in your life,
you will feel lifted and carried and held.
All is well, all is well, all is well.”
And that is when this story began.
