Years ago I invested a few thousand dollars in a venture. Mainstream articles I read downplayed this type of investment, discouraging it as pie-in-the-sky and pipe-dream mentality. I struck it rich anyway. Oh yeah, I’m dancing in the streets! Finally, everything that hypothetically goes along with making the big bucks – freedom, fulfillment, joy, peace […]

Failure in Strength
He was a humble man. Simple, not looking for power or fame. A humble man from a humble family. In fact, when Samuel was looking for him to anoint him king before the people he had hidden himself among the stuff. He was obedient. When his father lost some donkeys, Saul went to look for […]
LAST HURRAH – FOR NOW…
In a couple of days we will be packing boxes into our vehicle for one last city before beginning a few months rest from book of John/Romans distribution. In April I will be in Africa. In May, Turkey. In June, the USA with family in tow. It has been almost six years since the Holy […]
OUR PREACHER MAN
Ran across this poem I wrote for my pastor while I was in high school… Our Preacher Man Who is that man that walks alone, Who begs for power at God’s throne, Who walks with God both night and day, Who often stops to kneel and pray? He is our preacher man. Who is that […]
SO FAST
We had been married for about three years. We were on the road, traveling from church to church presenting our burden and God’s call on our lives for the country of Bulgaria. Deputation is a blessing, but it is no walk in the park. It can be as mentally draining as it is physically. Preaching, […]
Book Review 8 – UNDAUNTED COURAGE
[symple_skillbar title=”Buy the Hard Cover” percentage=”72″ color=”#132670″ show_percent=”true”] I love American history and I loved most of this book. It only dragged a few times during its epic 600 pages. Stephen Ambrose is a Lewis and Clark connoisseur and it shows in this book. The history of Thomas Jefferson’s relationship with Meriweather Lewis, the Louisiana […]
AMERICAN IDOL
An idol is something without which one cannot function. It is dependency. It is repetition that becomes blind tradition that becomes dependency. The question is not whether or not America is a Christian nation, but whether or not America understands that she has many idols on the altar of her heart – regardless of whether […]
Philippines Part 5 – City at the Dump
The Philippines is one of the most populated countries in the world with over 100,000,000 people. It is not a rich country and they have their share of slums. I have been in the worst parts of Chicago. While you may have a better chance of being shot in our slums (over 70% of all […]
DEATH IN TWO LIGHTS
I wrote this when I was 17. Bye… Cry… Sigh. Why? One day! Someday! Come day! Grand day!
ONCE A MONTH
There is something instinctual in man when it comes to time segments. We live by them. This day will end in a few hours. Tomorrow begins a new day. The same thing goes for a week and a month and a year. We would often observe the Lord’s Supper once a month in the churches […]
