Lately, I have found myself writing more and more. Not only that but pursuing opportunities to share my writing. It is amazing what happens when you have those people in your life who nurture your passion and support you for who you are and not for who you could become. I have heard many times … More Bleeding Ink
Recently I was asked to look over a passage in Matthew 25. Starting in verse 14 and ending in verse 30, I read the very common and often misunderstood parable of the talents (or pounds in Luke). I have learned over the years as I study my Bible that when there is a story in … More The Nightmare of the Unprofitable
Bubble, bubble The water is troubled, Something rises up in me. It’s a spring of new water flowing in my veins! It’s scraping my rust and mold away. All the icky coming to the top, All the filthy flowing over the edge. The troubled water made the settled mud rise and the water muddy. BUT … More Bubble, Bubble
After discussing and reading a couple of passages, I happened upon a video that discussed Revelation 21:8. This verse includes a very shocking word, “the fearful”. The Greek word for this is deilos which means timid; faithless; fearful. Thayer’s Greek Lexicon goes on to say, “Christians who through cowardice give way under persecutions and apostatize.” This … More Ask Yourself This Question…
Ever heard of that phrase? It is a famous line from what song? I bet you can guess it if you like rock and roll. It’s from the song sung by Posion in 1988.

Set your mind on heavenly things. When you enter a battle, you can do your duty correctly because you have the mindset that boot camp drilled into you. It is the same with the life we live. ( see post) There is a spiritual battle taking place. ( see my Job posts or you can … More Heavenly Minded
That‘s what Romans 5:2 says in the NLT version. I believe that is the first time I have heard as such. If you really think about it, that’s all it is Undeserved Privilege. “Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and … More Undeserved Privelege.
As tears fall like rain, sorrow is felt permeating the air. Her charred and broken soul is cleansed and expressed as the tears fall unheeded. The rain around her washes the filth from the atmosphere, as her broken-heart is healed through tears. The booming Lightning and Thunder are likened to words which strike her from … More The Cleansing
Every day we suffer from want. This life never promises anything, yet we demand what we don’t deserve. We choose fame, fortune, and familiarity. All of these are just vapors appearing as something eternal; yet they are only temporal. They will rust and decay like grass withering under the heat of the sun. Our souls … More Life’s Vapor
