The Perfect Lottery Dream Home

If you read this blog regularly, you know I enjoy a lot of the programs on HGTV. I usually tape Lottery Dream Home on Friday nights. I enjoy watching people look for homes after their lives have been changed by a winning lottery ticket. I am going to say . . . I’m not comfortable […]

The Parable of the Dog and the Geese

It rained all day, but that was fine with me. Rainy days are perfect days to spend writing, and I had this year’s Advent book to work on. By the way, my thanks to all of you who sent me your Christmas memories and traditions. I’m enjoying them and the process of putting the book […]

Time: Spent or invested?

I was a sophomore in high school when Jim Croce’s song “Time in a Bottle” reached #1 on the charts. He had written the song a year earlier, after his wife had told him she was pregnant. ABC Records hadn’t planned to release the song as a single, but, in 1973, Jim Croce was tragically […]

Paul’s Recipe for Daily Bread

What are you doing for Mother’s Day this year? We sure can’t crowd the restaurants this Sunday, so I have a bread recipe that might come in handy. Unfortunately, a new batch has to be prepared each day, but it is worth the effort. You only have to “taste and see” to know it is […]

I’m really starting to miss a few things, but I’ve also noticed a few things I am really enjoying about these days. Creativity abounds in this […]

Equipping the Church to Stand Firm

The book of Ephesians was written while Paul was under house arrest in Rome. The prison epistle is a concise but complete summary of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the impact of salvation upon the lives of believers. Ephesians was John Calvin’s favorite letter of Paul’s. Many theologians have commented that it was Paul’s greatest writing. The book speaks of the greatness of God and the power of God’s Holy Spirit to change a person’s life. Paul began his letter by writing about the blessings of God, available for God’s holy people.

What to do when your life is full, but your soul seems empty.

Content To Be Good, Called To Be Godly

I wrote this book for those who have a personal relationship with God but want to walk with him on a higher level of Christian maturity. Spiritual growth can be like physical growth. Children mature naturally and rapidly. One day we are reaching down to tie a shoe and soon we find ourselves reaching up to adjust a mortarboard or wedding veil. The changes from youth to adulthood are easy to measure and natural to expect. Maturity becomes more of a choice in our adult years.
