New Birth – New Life

Last time I took a look at the birth of Jesus, which probably wasn’t on December 25th but then no one knows for sure.
I’ve seen headstones on graves that didn’t have a birth date or perhaps had the wrong one. Continue reading →

What is and isn’t important!

This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit. Matt 1:18

Yesterday I was doing some research on the birth of Jesus. Though His birth will be celebrated in less than a month, I don’t think He was actually born on December 25th. Continue reading →

“One… Two…. “

When I was a child I can remember my mother giving me counting lessons.
I would be doing something wrong and she would say, “Tim, stop that! Tim, I told you to stop.”
“I’m going to count to three! One…two…” and if she made it to three I would get a whoopin’. Continue reading →

Thanksgiving

The Pilgrim story has been told over and over.
I remember being told the story in grade school. We dressed like Pilgrims and Indians for the Thanksgiving program.
This band of separatists sought nothing more than religious freedom. Continue reading →

The Reward of Sacrifice

Today I’m not exactly sure what my thoughts are. A situation has been building in our family and came to fruition last night.
It’s not the way I wanted it; my hand was forced.
Yet, as I fasted and prayed I have to believe that God orchestrated everything. Continue reading →

The Petition

Almost ½ of the states in the union have petitions to secede from the rest of the country.
The state of Texas has well over 100,000 signatures, significantly more than the 25,000 needed to garner the attention of the White House.
All the talk about secession is on the heels of a country divided over the presidential election. Continue reading →

I know I would feel that way!

Yesterday’s Morning Thought was about the Prodigal Son’s father. The question is about the actions, thoughts, and feelings of the father while his son was gone.

I asked the same question on Facebook and received these replies.

  • That father was doing nothing but praying, probably fasting and trusting God. Continue reading →

Love and Compassion

A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living. About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve. He persuaded a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into his fields to feed the pigs. The young man became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no one gave him anything. Luke 15:13-16 Continue reading →

The Noise of War

And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is a noise of war in the camp.”
But he said: “It is not the noise of the shout of victory, nor the noise of the cry of defeat, but the sound of singing I hear.”
So it was, as soon as he came near the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing. So Moses’ anger became hot, and he cast the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain. Ex 32:17-19 Continue reading →

Anxiously Walking By Faith

I have to tell this story.
Last weekend I took pictures for this very lovely, Godly couple, Roman and Yoe.
She has been a missionary in Mexico, along with her parents and sister, her entire life. Continue reading →
