Lead by Example
Since March many of us have been prisoners in our own homes due to information that we thought we could trust from the “experts”. In my opinion it has become apparent that they were very wrong and that in fact COVID-19 was no worse on the population than the flu.
I will agree that we need to protect the old and very young when it comes to this virus, but those of us who are of good overall…

The Human Spirit
May peace and joy find you during these challenging times. Like me many of you I have been bombarded by all of the news outlets flooding the airwaves with data, experts and conjecture about the virus we shall not speak of here. Quite frankly I am tired of being fed spotty information and half-truths, so to remedy this I am no longer watching any of the news outlets.
This in no way means that I…

"Position Improvement"
"Position Improvement" What are you doing to improve your opportunities for mission success in this battle?
Many years ago, when I first entered the U.S. Army, I heard the term “Position Improvement”. I soon learned that this meant if I found myself in a defensive position it fell on me and those on my team to be involved in improving the position through a list of necessary tasks.
The positions in which we found ourselves could be started by simply camouflaging our location all the way up to…

"Thinking About You on Mother's Day"
“Thinking About You on Mother’s Day”
Because you choose to see the best in me,
Regardless of life’s pitfalls or my pride,
A smiling nod to be creative and free,
Your gentle hands are always my guide.
Thinking About You on Mother’s Day
In your heart you carry each memory,
Each a snapshot into a time and place,
As diamonds each is stored affectionately,
All are wrapped by your love and grace.
Thinking About You on Mother’s Day

"Questioning Their Standard"
“Questioning Their Standard”
Speaking from a position of making a general observation I am plagued by a question. Because of what I hear and see among people across the country I am assuming that they are coming from the presupposition that God does not exist or that Christians believe in a desert fairy tale; how is it that they have a position on the moral high ground as they would like everyone to believe? They act as if…

"Child Birth; God's Miracle - Our Gift"
“Child Birth; God’s Miracle – Our Gift”
For some the scientific term “Parturition” makes the whole idea for the birth of a child a dreary and unimaginative visualization for the next Sci-Fi novel or textbook; either way neither are not my choice on this subject.
Generally speaking many claim that the Christian Bible of 66 Books is a drab and boring read; and in some ways I can agree speaking from a fleshly perspective. However, I…

"The Evening Dance"
“The Evening Dance”
Outside the snow gently falls and glistens,
A small breeze will lead the snow in a dance,
Performing their art with a simple joy,
Music can be heard if one truly listens.
Lighted trees give off new colors for this dance,
Bright hues give their stage a magical glimmer,
Swirling and twirling the dancers move quickly,
A chaotic symphony never performed by chance.
An unseen conductor picks up the…

"Do You Carpe Diem?"
“Do You Carpe Diem?”
Throughout our lives we encounter the subject of death in varying circumstances. Sometimes it hits close to home, sometimes it is just far enough away that we brush it off as “…so glad it wasn’t someone in our family”. Either way I don’t think we take the time to appreciate the life we all have in front of us. I understand that some may take offense to that last statement and if you do; good!…

"Walking Amongst Shadows"
“Walking Amongst Shadows”
As I walk through soft green grass I make no sound,
I wonder at the sun’s beauty as birds sing and flutter,
Below my feet shadows are revealed on the ground.
A soft breeze awakens their voice to be heard,
Their voices carry me quickly to the past,
It is through their stories my heart is stirred.
Standing proud the shapes are never alone,
Their shadows touch each other as if a friend,
The…

"Nudging the World One Person at a Time"
“Nudging the World One Person at a Time”
According to the Merriam – Webster Dictionary, the word “Nudge” is defined in a couple of ways depending on how you want to use the word. In one sense of the word it indicates a touch or gentle push and in the other version one can prod lightly or urge into some sort of action.
As I read these definitions I realize that God uses both when he wants us to move within His plan. Since one option is…

"Will This Snow Ever Melt?"
“Will This Snow Ever Melt?”
The sun comes out, the snow melts and the birds sing. For those who live with the four seasons, this is considered a normal refreshing perspective that indicates that summer is on the way. And then there is the Upper Midwest with snow storms in mid-April. For many this is very depressing and can negatively affect their attitude. Myself having lived in the deep south for a few years, find the snow…

“Say Amen!” As we sit in our pew next to a friend or even a stranger, we listen to the message from the pastor hoping to glean a nugget of knowledge, hope or a simple reminder of God's love.
"Does God Work Through Our Pets?"
“Does God Work Through Our Pets?”
I know that there are differing beliefs on whether animals have a soul or just run on basic instinct, but there is something I believe 100%. God puts animals on our path just as He does with people. These animals are usually otherwise known as “pets”. I have experienced as well as witnessed how we learn to live and communicate with these pets. Sometimes I question whether they belong to our…

"What Are You Kneeling For?"
“What Are You Kneeling For?”
Many are up in arms about professional athletes kneeling during the National Anthem, and I can understand why. There is a lot of tradition and culture behind what it all stands for, so the ensuing emotional reactions are actually predictable. However; the emotional connection to our flag and the anthem must be respected. There are many who have given up their Constitutional rights in service to…

"Does Love Pay the Bills?"
“Does Love Pay the Bills?”
Many an “Armchair Philosopher” has said that “Love doesn’t pay the bills” and I used to agree with this for many years, but the more I learn about God and Marriage it has become abundantly clear that this is not true. To explain further, I would have you first look at your own marriage as an example. To venture a guess, I would assume that most are married for the sake of love; at least I would…

"Minding the Net"
“Minding the Net”
“Follow me and I will make you fishers of men…” Matthew 4:19. As I read this short verse it occurs to me that anyone who has ever been exposed to the story of Jesus Christ has heard this quoted many times by many pastors, Sunday school teachers, or evangelists simply trying to spread the gospel. What concerns me is if we as Christians really understand what this verse means. In any version of…

"Are You Willing to Stand in the Gap?"
“Are You Willing to Stand in the Gap?”
Last night I heard a young man talk about opposition to Jesus Christ and how we should to deal with that barrier. He used the examples found in the book of Acts, chapters 3 and 4. This of course is a great example of how Christians should be bold and forthright with in whom we find love, peace and grace. The thing that struck me the most was that this man was talking about opposition to Jesus…
