Hunger. You hear about it all the time. There are millions of people around the world who don't eat on a daily basis. There are numerous organizations out there whose sole mission is to help stamp out hunger. This is great and the efforts of many to feed those in need of physical nourishment should be rewarded. However,...

We All Have Wilderness Moments
You know, it has been a while since my last blog entry, but it has not been because of a lack of things to write about. It has been due to lack of dedication and just the moments of life. I think that moment has been one in the "wilderness" for me.
"What is this", you may be asking. Well, I would like to define it as a time where...

Some Love & A Miracle
Today is a very special day for me. Today marks the 1 year anniversary of my wife's (Deidra) kidney transplant. This is not her first transplant (she received one from her mother in 1994), but rather her second and this time things seem to be even better than the first, but let me take you back.
In January 2009, unbeknown to...

Looking And Not Seeing
This morning on my commute to work, I was listening to Dr. David Jeremiah on the radio and he was talking about the parable of the Good Samaritan (see Luke 10:25-37). Today, some of the things that I say are my own, sprinkled with some of Dr. Jeremiah's influence. So let's hop to it.
In the parable, Jesus tells of a man who was...

I Really, Really, Want It!
Luke 14-28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? We all have things that we want in life. We see cars, homes, gadgets, and/or potential spouses and we just have to have them. There are things that we did not have as a children growing...

Cleansing: It's OK to Slow Down (Replay)
I started to an entry today and as got about a paragraph into it, I realized that the topic sounded familiar. Given this, I dug into the archives and found exactly what I wanted to say. It is amazing how things go full circle. Be blessed folks.

A Big Mistake
God, are you serious? You must be mistaken! What just happened to me should not have happened? What just happened to my friend should not have happened? My career was suppose to go different than what it did! God you must have me confused with someone else! Sounds familiar? Have you ever asked or made one of the...

Lost In Denominations
Catholicism. Baptist. Methodist. Lutheran. All of these are different "branches" of Christianity and all of them have their own set of governing rules which make them who they claim to be. According to Wikipedia's List of Christian denominations, "there are reported to be approximately 38,000 Christian denominations". I mean,...

You Cannot Do It All By Yourself
Happy Year Folks!
I hope that you all had a Merry Christmas as well! It feels good to be able to jump back into writing, so without delay, I want to go to Exodus 18:13-22. It is a little lengthy, but work with me. There, it says:
(13) The next day Moses took his seat to serve as judge for the people, and they stood around him...
