Had somewhat of a revelation yesterday that I would like to share. Since the length is so long I will paraphrase briefly. We all suffer from frustration. Frustration is that emotion that is felt whenever expectations do not meet in sync with reality. The amount of frustration depends upon how out of sync our expectations are with reality. Some frustrations open wounds in the heart that are years in healing if, in fact, they ever heal at all. Certainly, I am sure that we have all suffered from former frustration that has opened wounds in our lives that are so deep that it seems that healing will never take place. The sad thing is Read the rest of this entry »
Church services were really great this morning. The Lord has allowed me another day and a busy day it is shaping up to be. We got home and fixed a quick lunch. Now I have some additional time for prayer seeking direction and method. Today I have a 10 page ordination document to finish that will hopefully be used to begin my ordination process in the near and foreseeable future. Within this document I Read the rest of this entry »
If the earth is indeed billions of years old then everything that we believe in Christianity comes into question. Death was preceded by the fall of man when God used animal skins to cover Adam’s nakedness. That was the first death. If there were billions of deaths (evolution view) prior to Adam and the initial fall to sin, then death (a physical death) being the wages of sin in Romans 6:23 is not true. If the death in regards to the wages of sin Read the rest of this entry »
You may wonder what evolution or Evolutionized Christianity has to do with God’s Plan for the Special Needs Family. Bear with me a few moments and you will see. I am coming through the “back door” with this message.
The theory of evolution teaches Read the rest of this entry »
In today’s church service, our pastor reminded us that every child deserves Christmas. Indeed, Jesus said, ” Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like little children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such child in MY name receives Me;” Indeed, all children deserve Christmas but maybe it is a different kind of Christmas than many of us are accustomed to. Every child deserves a warm coat in Read the rest of this entry »
This week was somewhat difficult at work. We had a state survey team in house and the stress of completing work within the necessary time frame and providing for the surveyors questions provided for a hectic work day. God gave me the opportunity to test the limits of my patience. I am happy to report that the survey seemed to go well and I did not submit to either anger or frustration.
I had a visit from Read the rest of this entry »
My goodness but it has been awhile. I fear that is all my fault (as if you didn’t already know that). Some of it can be accounted towards laziness. Father forgive me for that. But Satan has indeed been running rampant tossing out stumbling blocks that I have stumbled over. Father, forgive me of that as well. Most importantly, my absence can be attributed to sickness within the family. My grand-daughter, Darcie, has been ill constantly Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings everyone! April was a dry month here and I sincerely apologize for that. School at Liberty University has had my hands tied to the extent that I have been bobbing to the surface now and then just to get some air. There is good news Read the rest of this entry »
Well there is news. The new session of school began yesterday. I am taking philosophy and Evangelism. Evangelism is something dear to my heart and I believe that God is going to get me through without a great deal of angst. Philosophy, however, appears to have the potential to cleave my skull and induce major headaches. I know that God will get me through it. He has gotten me through thus far. I’m just wondering Read the rest of this entry »
