In wanderlust of eternity,I travel streets of grace I know the power of illusion. But I find truth upon Your Face (illusions crumble) the b/ro/ke/nness have weakened bones and feeble flesh. I trust in the Musician’s strings,The One who makes the nation’s sing. You are good it’s understood as days lead on……………. to Day. So […]
Two life altering truths: I rarely ever had those kinds of thoughts in my twenties and thirties, but now truths recur often. Have I listened to God? Have I really lived my life to the fullest? Have I heard God’s voice? The old adage is true: Our life is God’s gift to us. What we do […]
You’re in a pit and wondering if this is the place you’ll die. You must wait. They accuse and convict you. The slam the door. Nothing seems to be happening. You lost your last appeal and the lawyer wants his money. You must wait. You are scrubbing the floors in a corrupt palace where money […]
Then she cried, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” When he awoke from his sleep, he said, “I will escape as I did before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had left him. Judges 16:20 He tweeted (or should I say “Xed”) a hot take and he didn’t know the […]

You can measure one’s faith by their ability to move on. Jesus encountered many people who fawned and queried Him, looking to work out some kind of bargain, complete with caveats and clauses. He presents each follower with a moment. These moments connect us to a point of decision. When that moment comes, you’d better […]
I’ve asked myself this question for years now and I still see through a glass darkly. I am guided and shaped in the midst of my own perplexities. One fact counters the next, but this list is true. Everything else is still on the table. I am loved by Christ . . .often wrongrarely strongseduced […]
“Give that uh…. RED STUFF!” And on top of that, he got a nickname: Edom, meaning “red.”
60 years most of them (I would claim) lagniappe something extra, but never promised. I could have found my resting place in 1983 as a log truck (sans lights), barreled down Hwy 165 in North Louisiana. I pulled onto the road, and for some odd reason on a moonless night, I hit the brakes as […]
