In America, and many other parts of the world, there are many things that we use every single day that people – historically – lived their lives without. Forget about TV’s, phones, computers, cars, and the like; I am talking about things that are basic to living; specifically, I am talking about plumbing. My familyContinue reading “An American Convenience”

Oh Taste and See!
I absolutely love food. I am not a small person, so it shows readily. I have been introduced to some authentic Indian food, and it is rapidly becoming my favorite type; however there is something that is better than any Indian food I have ever tasted. There is something tastier than butter chicken, more savoryContinue reading “Oh Taste and See!”
When Is It Enough?
How much money does it take until you are rich enough? How many times does it take to drink a drink of alcohol until you are drunk enough? How many times does it take to “get high” until you are high enough? When is enough, enough? Jesus when he asked the woman at the wellContinue reading “When Is It Enough?”
Every Second
I spend every second of every day with myself! Everywhere I go, there I am. I know that is a little silly, but it is true. It is also true that every second of every day I am with the God that created the universe. You see, the God of the Bible is an infiniteContinue reading “Every Second”
A Stink in the Air
A few days ago I went into my workshop and noticed the worst odor known to man. I knew instantly what it was and immediately felt the tears raising in my soul.

My wife loves to give me little notes, and my eldest daughter gives me simple things like wildflowers she picked up on a walk. MyContinue reading “Sentiment”
Sacrifices Is An Exchange
I do not really look at the things that I “sacrifice” as giving up something, I look at it as exchanging it for something better; a trade up rather than a trade off due to one being of more value instead of equal. I go to work to provide for my family, I sacrifice someContinue reading “Sacrifices Is An Exchange”
The Greatest Love Story Pt. 2
We are going to back up a bit, just before the world was created. You see, in heaven there was God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. (along with Wisdom the angels and a few other characters we see throughout Scripture.) God the trinity does not have any beginning, nor endContinue reading “The Greatest Love Story Pt. 2”
The Greatest Love Story Pt. 1
I would like to share with you a wonderful love story – one written by your Creator and sent to you. This beautiful story starts with a master builder who looks on a blank canvas and brings light to the darkest of situations. In the next four days of this marvelous event, He then bringsContinue reading “The Greatest Love Story Pt. 1”
The pearl of great price
David Morse, American missionary to India, became great friends there with the pearl-diver, Rambhau. Many an evening he spent in Rambhau’s cabin reading to him from the Bible, and explaining to him God’s way of salvation. Rambhau enjoyed listening to the Word of God, but whenever the missionary tried to get Rambhau to accept ChristContinue reading “The pearl of great price”
