Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send and who will go for Us?”
Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” Isa 6:8
Last week a young woman, pastor’s wife, and new mother was killed in a car accident.
I didn’t know her but Mary, one of the ladies from my summer church camp, sent out an email about it.
I found it sad and I prayed. Continue reading

Having many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, that our joy may be full. 2 John 12
I read that verse last night and it has stuck in my head and heart.
It tells me that to see face-to-face is better than a comment on myspace, a phone call, an email, or a text message.
We have moved into an age where we no longer visit one another. Continue reading

There is so much talk about pastors endorsing a candidate from the pulpit.
It’s almost an automatic nail in the tax-exempt coffin for the ministry.
I’m personally wondering what the big deal is all about.
Frankly I don’t see how I can speak for all of my people no more than the boss of a huge company can speak for all of his. Continue reading

It’s Halloween!
A time for many to dress up in costumes resembling all kinds of things that most of us would deem as scary, evil, or wicked.
Children will run in such costumes from house to house begging to get a gift of candy or some other sweet treat. Continue reading

I got the finger the other day though I don’t think it was intended for me.
As I pulled out on the highway this red Mustang drove by in the other lane.
I noticed up ahead that a Camaro pulled into the path of the Mustang, causing the driver to slow down and then veer into the right lane in front of me. Continue reading

The Lord put Adam to sleep and from his side created woman.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Gen 2:25
It must have been quite a spiritual experience to fellowship with God and not be ashamed.
But Adam and Eve listened to the lies of Satan. Continue reading

I live in the south and therefore have always eaten southern cooking.
What may seem inedible to some from our northern states are delicacies here in Texas.
Pecan pie is a common as fried chicken.
We don’t eat yams, we eat sweet potatoes also know as sweetaters. Continue reading

It was an interesting lunch yesterday as we celebrated the birthdays of two of the staff, Vera and Vicki.
We always do this at Casa Ole’, a local Mexican restaurant.
I’m the quiet type, at least when it comes to eating. Continue reading

Now while Ezra was praying, and while he was confessing, weeping, and bowing down before the house of God, a very large assembly of men, women, and children gathered to him from Israel; for the people wept very bitterly. Ezra 10:1
Sometimes while writing Morning Thoughts, I do it for the sake of writing, out of an obligation that I have for you.
I can be tired, rushed, overwhelmed, sick, and still feel an obligation to write.
Sometimes I write about nothing, at least it seems that way to me. Continue reading

For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 1 Cor 2:2
I am determined to study God’s word more so that I may know more that I may share more with others, including you.
I have come to believe that sharing God’s word is like giving everyone a piece of chocolate cake. Continue reading
