I like to see where things are made!
It’s fascinating to stand in the clothing section of a store and look at the tags; at least it’s fascinating to me. China, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Costa Rica, Mexico, and India all pop up. Continue reading

Everyday Peace!
No one wants a fair weather friend. You want someone that will stick by your side in good times and especially the bad; someone that will be there for you when you are at your lowest.
The Lord deserved no less. Continue reading
Jesus everyday!
It’s Wednesday once again. I’ve prepared for the Bible study and prayer meeting for tonight.
I don’t know where or when the Wednesday evening church meeting came from. Continue reading
Flavor, Preserve, and Purge
Food tastes better with some seasoning. Though there are many different kinds of spices and flavor enhancers, many have salt in the ingredients.
Salt just seems to make things taste better. Continue reading

I remember a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman dropped by our house one time and demonstrated a Rainbow.
He demonstrated how this little marvel of technology would change our lives. Continue reading
You can’t win them all – part 5
It’s sad about those that hear the Gospel over and over and never respond to it. They can blame everyone and everything.
Judas may have had a lot of excuses for the way he was and what he did. Continue reading
You can’t win them all – part 4
I don’t know about your salvation. I don’t know how many opportunities you have had to accept God’s grace and forgiveness.
He is known as a God of second chances. Continue reading
You can’t win them all – part 3
I am by no means perfect but I know the pathway to perfection and have seen a glimpse of it. But keeping my eyes on Jesus all the time is hard in a world that keeps enticing me away.
I am not tempted by all things, yet the adversary knows what temptations will work. Continue reading
You can’t win them all – part 2
There are people with seemingly good intentions outwardly but inwardly have an ulterior motive.
This is often the case when someone places their own needs, desires, and agenda above that of others. I’ve noticed this with a few “giveaways” on the web these days. Continue reading
You can’t win them all – part 1
What do you get out of church, Sunday school, and Bible study?
Some get very much and others very little. There are those that don’t get fed in a church service and others that take lots of notes.
What you get out of it is entirely up to you.
Case in point,
From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.
Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” John 6:66-69
Peter was one of twelve men that traveled with Jesus. Along with the others he witnessed miracles, heard teaching, and watched His lifestyle.

Knowing what Judas will do begs the question as to why he didn’t get anything from the teaching of Jesus.
How is it the others went on to preach, teach, and evangelize and Judas did not?
Let’s investigate this tragedy this week.
