Jesus sat down with the disciples one evening and they asked Him a few questions about the signs of His return and the end of the age.
As Jesus answered, one thing has always caught my attention; “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.” Matt 24:7 Continue reading

A Cool Little Thing That God Did
What happens when you become faithful to God in a few things?
Jesus says, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things.” Matt 25:21
Last nights church discussion turned political, in a sense, as we talked about the hate crimes legislations sitting before the US Senate right now.
At church was one of our young men that has started coming regularly and consistently. Continue reading
He Knows What We Need
God was with us yesterday, of course, He always is.
Four of us drove almost 4 hours to Fort Worth to look at Federal Surplus generators for the radio station.
We took a certified diesel mechanic with us to help determine the quality and condition of the engines.
We found 3 with low hours and would meet our needs. Continue reading
For Such A Worm As I
Alas! And did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would he devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
That’s from the hymn At The Cross by Isaac Watts, written in 1885.

Haylee ended up with a bill that had such a mark. Continue reading

Whose To Blame
And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.” 1 Kings 17:1
Then it happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, “Is that you, O troubler of Israel?” 1 Kings 18:17
The problem with Israel was not Elijah, it was sin. Continue reading
Food For Thought
Consider this, which I have been pondering for some time.
Daniel 9:27 says, Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
Now this chapter of Daniel is a prophecy about 70 weeks of years. Continue reading
The High Point Of Our Vacation (Literally)
The first view of Enchanted Rock while going north on HWY 965
Rising up from the ground just north of
Fredericksburg is a huge, pink granite exfoliation dome.
It covers 640 acres and rises up 425 feet above ground, 1825 feet above sea level.
It was a challenge for Linda and me. Continue reading
