NOW! Emulate.
Have you ever been doing something or saying something and an outer body transformation takes place that stops you in your tracks and you swear you just heard your parents voice? We all pick up these small little characteristics from those around us. Most often our parents or those that raised us.
The other day I [...]
Facebook Witness
LOL I’m on Facebook!
That’s right. This technologically-challenged 50 year old has discovered the joys of networking via FB. I’ll be honest, I initially thought Facebook was something only the younger generation was into or could truly appreciate. And there probably are legions of college sons and daughters who loathe the day their parent or parents [...]
Baptism
I was listening to another song of Kenny Chesney’s on the radio. The song Down The Road’s lyrics stated, “Her momma wants to know am I washed in the blood or just in the water.” I believe that baptism is an important step of obedience for every person who has accepted Christ as his or [...]
NOW! Juxtaposed.
I’ve always been a fan of the word… juxtaposition. The official Webster’s definition is: an act or instance of placing close together or side by side, especially. for comparison or contrast.
You can call me a nerd, geek, dork, or heave any other name at me you can conjure, but it won’t change anything. I get [...]
You Can’t Photoshop God
Great are the works of the Lord;
They are pondered by all who delight in them.
Psalm 111:2
I am getting to the point of becoming passionate about photography. It’s always been an interest of mine and has become a significant hobby in the past couple of years. And I’m particularly drawn to outdoor photograhy, especially scenes of [...]
NOW! Righteous.
I am right and you are wrong. Or perhaps, you are right and I am wrong. Who is to say whom is correct? Well if you ask me… I’m right. And since I am writing this and you are reading this… I must be right… right?
Who is right? What is righteous? According to old Mr. [...]
God IS Love.
Love is a power, greater than death… just like the songs and stories told. And when she built you brother, she broke the mold. “Terry’s Song” Bruce Springsteen
I’m a big fan of “The Boss”. And I suppose it was Springsteen’s halftime performance at the Super Bowl that prompted me to play a few of his [...]
NOW! Called.
For many years of my adult life, I’ve been fascinated by “The Call”. If you’ve spent any time in church or around preachers, you’ve probably been introduced to these words. In fact, all you have to do is approach a pastor and say, “Tell about your Call”. There will be no hesitation or question that [...]
What is wrong with us?
Listening to a song going to work on the radio I heard the lyrics say, “Playing on the Church Softball team and everything was going good until a bad call from the umpire. It took the preacher to break up the fight that followed.” What good is church if we do not live out the [...]
NOW! Simplest Form.
Last night I walked through the door, arriving home from work at the normal time. My wife had made a big pot of red beans and rice filled with my favorite sausage. The aroma was so inviting and it felt great to be home. Shortly after settling in, my wife informs me that there are [...]
