The Real Work Begins!

It’s over!
Finally!
It seems like I’ve been watching political ads and rhetoric for the last two years.
But now it’s over! What has been done is done. There is no turning back – only moving forward.
You may be happy today or you may not. You may be optimistic about America’s future or you may be pessimistic about things. Continue reading →

Sneaky lion

 

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Eph 6:12-13 Continue reading →

Cruise Observation

Last week, at this time, I was on a cruise. At this time of day (when I’m writing this morning) I had already gone up on deck to see what kind of day it was going to be and see if it was clear enough for a beautiful sunrise.

I forgot to pray

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thess 5:16-18

I could tell you of the food or the dolphin swim excursion. I could start with the Continue reading →
