As Alan Jackson sings, “I love to tell the story. . . to tell the old old story of Jesus and His love,” I am reminded of Alan Redpath. He came to the podium to address a large group of seminary students. He was older at the time, and stood tottering, grasping the podium to steady himself. He looked out at the audience and began to sing, “Jesus love me. This I know. The Bible tells me so.” His voice cracked. He continued to sing, Continue reading “I Love to Tell the Story”

Tempus Fugit
Sing Me To Heaven
It’s quiet on the deck this morning. Water gurgles as it falls into the ponds. Birds sing to awaken the morning. I can’t hear it, but we know that “the whole creation has been groaning. . .” That’s what Apostle Paul said in his letter to the Roman Believers. And from my iPad Bradley Walker sings, “Sing me to Heaven. When it comes my time to go, Continue reading “Sing Me To Heaven”
Prayer Closet
Want to step into your prayer closet? Want to pray? Don’t know where to start, how to begin? Y’shuaJesus gave this advise:
Another Day in the Garden
They sat again on the deck, by the pond in the garden, talking of many things. Just a man and his father enjoying the afternoon together. A few leaves, already brown, fell gracefully all around at the touch of a breeze.
“I’m curious,” said the man’s father, “why you thought you’d somehow not be sitting at the head table of my dinner party.” Continue reading “Another Day in the Garden”
Questions to ask BEFORE a sermon
Pastor Marvin Williams blogs at Marvin Williams “8 Questions to Ask Before We Listen To A Sermon.”
I enjoyed what Pastor Williams had to say, and plan to employ those things that are new to me, and haven’t been done before.
Lord Bless, Keep, Shine. . .
You know your wife is angry when. . .
In the event you are new to the whole upset-woman thing, there a lot of not-so-apparent ways to determine if a woman is upset. So here’s one.
Last night a man’s wife walks in late from work with several hot dishes of Chinese.
“There’s Chinese if you want it,” she says to her husband. Continue reading “You know your wife is angry when. . .”
Deflated Clown
“Remember Bozo… the clown punching bag? Bozo stands straight and tall and always bounces back. Then, eventually, its harder and harder for Bozo to bounce back. He’s older and tired and losing air. The blows are harder to bounce back from. He tries but is deflated,” she texted.
“Yes. Nice metaphor,” he responded. Continue reading “Deflated Clown”
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas.
May the Lord Bless all of you
who celebrate the First Advent
of Y’shuaJesus.
He is Messiah; He is Lord.
I pray that you all look forward to,
even long for, His Second Advent.
Chill Out!
The Daily Post Writing Prompt RELAX
Last summer, beneath a lonely full moon that cried out to me, “Chill Out, Dude,” I relaxed a little. I enjoyed the solitude, the sound of waves slapping the hull, and the breeze filling the sails. When finally the sun dropped behind the pine trees to the west, I stirred only to discover the battery was dead. That meant no lights. Darkness stole the evening and my peaceful sail. Then, naturally, the breeze dropped out and the sails lay ideal, and Cassandra, a heavy, full-keeled, twenty-five-foot sailboat, came to an abrupt halt. Continue reading “Chill Out!”
