Why Bother?
He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.Psalm 18:19 NKJV Have you ever just been caught up in the wonderment of Jesus' taking of notice of you? That he cares about you and cares about what concerns you? That we, as just mere humans, would matter to the great and mighty God is, well, ...Jan 11 -
Drink Offering
Philippians 2:17 says “ Yes, and I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith I am glad and rejoice with you all” In the Old Testament it is believed that a drink offering was offered often on top of or as to finish off the “main” offering. In this Old Testament era, drink offerings were poured out b ...Aug 06 -
Family and Friends
Wow, what a full speed summer we’ve been enjoying! Camps, Mission Trips, Weddings, Barbeques and more. With every event, the people attending have made the time so precious. Speaking of people, I can’t believe we have a newbie in our family this summer. We welcome Casey, my son’s new wife; what a vibrant and delightful addition. We love Casey with ...Jul 28 -
Girlfriends...!?
Girlfriends… Hmmmm… what does that mean? What emotions and thoughts does that stir up for you? For some it may be coffee dates, shared memories, inside jokes, funny stories, shoulders to cry on, prayer partners, or just that girl that loves you right through the good, the bad, and the ugly. But what might it be for othe ...Jul 08 -

A Cowboy's Perspective on Mission
I cannot understand Him or the reasons for the trials and suffering ultimately matters not. I rest in the faith that he has gone to prepare a place for me in the "sweet by and by." My home lies not on the blue prairie or the high desert but across Jordan on an endless range beneath the cloudless sky. There with Him, waits my only home. This sojourn ...Apr 09 -
Justice Served
Listen to me, my people. Hear me, Israel, for my law will be proclaimed, and my justice will become a light to the nations. My mercy and justice are coming soon. My salvation is on the way. My strong arm will bring justice to the nations. All distant lands will look to me and wait in hope for my powerful arm. Isaiah 51:4-5 NLT Justice--su ...Feb 25 -

This Political Season - 2
Change is a political buzzword tossed freely about by both red and blue candidates. The notion of “change” somehow seduces us with the idea that if we could just get away from our current political/social condition, then our city/state/nation would somehow be “better” than what it is currently, even though we struggle to define w ...Jul 26 -
This Political Season - 1
In this election year it appears that once again there is no obvious or perfect candidate standing in line to be the next President of the United States. It’s déjà vu all over again! This political season creates an opportunity to confront the continual political undercurrents that swirl about inside our church – epitomized by the ...Jun 29 -
Thomas Jefferson & Christians: Targets for Hypocrite Hunters
Are you a hypocrite? Me too. I’m not proud of it, and try not to call attention to it (until now). Often times, what I know and say I should do is not what I end up doing. If you’re a hypocrite hunter, then one of your best hunting grounds is the realm of “Christians” – people like me. Why? Maybe because all of o ...Mar 25 -
CHURCH - Still a Valid Concept?
Lately, I've been thinking about "the church." In this day and age, cultural pressures combined with information overload and numerous ways to distract ourselves make it difficult to understand what church is truly all about. Those of us who may have grown up in a church know that the Bible explains that the church ...Feb 13 -
Grow Up
This Sunday, Shirley and I visited Wayside Chapel in Sedona AZ. The church has been studying the book of Ephesians. During the Sunday School Hour, (yup, even on vacation we take the opportunity to join with others in the study of God's word), we were looking over Eph.4:11- 16 - "And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelist ...Feb 12 -
