Convicted

A pastor I know once said about the Bible, "You don't read the Book, the Book reads YOU!" Perhaps that is why more people don't spend time reading Scripture. All too often (almost 100% of the time) I will read something that I can apply to my current situation. Either that, or I am reminded … Continue reading Convicted →

Friday Photo Flashback

Well, the Christmas season is officially underway. I can assure you that I have NO plans to go out shopping today. I'm just built for stress like that. Anyway, since it is official, I thought I would search for a Christmas themed photo to feature. A while back, my brother put all of the digital … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Friday Photo Flashback

I am a man of faith. I am not here to start a theological debate. I debated turning off the ability to comment on this post, but I didn't. If you are a person of faith, too, you may enjoy a little history lesson. Yesterday was Bring Your Bible Day. The idea is, that whether … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

This Simply Amazes Me

This came up in my Facebook memories this week and I thought it would be cool to share. In my Bible classes, the pastor/teacher always talks about how amazing the Bible is. The fact that it was preserved throughout history and we can hold it in our hands today and read those words in itself … Continue reading This Simply Amazes Me →

If you practice a particular religion or belong to a specific denomination, I am not here to … Continue reading Did Jesus Die on Friday? →

We Have a Street! They finally blacktopped the street this weekend! They finished the driveways and sidewalks … Continue reading Weekend Business →

Instead, my last blog (#500) was about how tired I am! Reflecting As I sat down to write Blog #501, I thought on how far this blog … Continue reading Holy 500! →

So much death …

For 5 days, I have opened my blog with every intention of writing. I have stared at the blank page, not really knowing what to write. How do I begin to even tackle what has been on my mind? I mean, I didn't even tell my wife about it until just a couple days ago. … Continue reading So much death … →
