Sowing Eternity

Are you ready for this week? Inauguration Day! Depending on your outlook on life, you could actually have a variety of responses to that question. From what I see around me, if you are a Democrat, you are in a state of relief and happiness. If you are a Republican, you are in a state of fearfulness and disappointment. If you are an elitist, you are ecstatic. You also may not fit any of the…

This is the Day

How is YOUR day going? Is this a crazy year OR WHAT!! Nothing seems to surprise me anymore. Things I never thought I would see in my lifetime are happening in pairs now. The world seems to have gone off the rails but, should I expect anything less as a Believer? I don’t think so, yet I find it hard to convince other Believers otherwise. No matter what happens in any given day, God is not…

Clear as Mud to Crystal Clear, Clarity and Hope in a confussing world

I hope this post finds you in a good place. In a good mindset. A place of peace and a place of contentment. If you watch the news, no matter what the source or network, you will find your inward parts tied up in a knot. As we continue down the road 2020 has paved with COVID, protest, riots and the presidential election, it is easy to find yourself in place of anxiety and tension if you are not…

Who Am I ? Answering the questions everyone has.

Who am I? One of the most important questions a human being can ask, and in some shape, form or fashion, will answer in their life. We will answer this question with the words we use, the friends we have, the way we act as well as the beliefs we subscribe to. We all have questions about ourselves and life that are in us innately. I wrote about his in my first blog post, “Filling the More”. As we…

The other day after playing a round of golf, I went over to my sons house to check out his new toy. An Oculus virtual reality game. I had seen pictures and commercials with individuals standing with what looked to be a set of oversized giant googles afixed to their head, covering their eyes, with some type of device in each hand. Virtual Reality systems are a computer generated simulation that…

Here is my recollection of a conversation I overheard the other day, “I think we are living in the most insane period of human history!” said a guy, his companion said “word” No matter what side of the fence you are on, this statement had some accuracy to it because this IS an insane period in history, especially American history. Whether or not it is the epitome of insanity can definitely be…

Pick a Side Making decisions bebeficial to others while Loving Others in Unloving Environments

I am not a historian, but the things that are occurring in our world today seem to be unprecedented to me, at least in my mind. The last memory of normalcy I can remember seems to be Christmas ’19, New Years ’20 and the LSU Tigers claiming the college football national championship. Ahhhhh, those were the days.

And then begins the dumpster fire. COVID-19 invades the scene in America and life…

Back to the Future. Dealing with our mistakes and regrets from the past. Moving from where we are to where we want to be. Living a life of purpose and fulfillment.

In 1985 the movie Back to the Future starring, Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, made its debut in theaters about a crazy scientist who believed he had successfully created a way to to make time travel possible. The movie proceeded to become the highest grossing film of the year. I can understand why. I mean how many of us would not give an appendage to travel back in time and make different…

Signs of the Times

Just when you think things can’t get any worse, you guessed it, they do. 2020 is definitely a year to remember, or forget, depending on your personal World View. Isn’t is amazing how we think we are in control, sitting on top of the world, seizing the moment then the rug is yanked from beneath our feet in one swift motion. Welcome to the new reality of COVID-19. Did you think a microbe could have…

The Struggle is Real!

As I continue to drift down the river of life I have succumbed to the fact that I must strive to be as healthy as possible. I am not 16 anymore and can’t do and eat what I please. I must begin to make the, less desirable choice, of foods low in saturated fats, sugars and high in fiber. Sugars being the hardest to deny in my diet. I must take the time to exercise, out of what few precious minutes…

Patience, Light at the End of the Tunnel

I am not the patient person I should be, I mean, as a Follower of Jesus, I should be the most patient person ever, right? I mean after all, when I accepted Jesus as Savior, I received the gift of the Holy Spirit whose fruit includes, you guessed it, Patience! I can be impatient with my wife, my family, my friends, on my job, with customers and even with God. I can also become impatient when my…

The Pandemic Why does God allow Disease

Definition – (of a disease) prevalent throughout an entire country, continent, or the whole world; epidemic over a large area.

What is going on with humanity on this planet is unprecedented in my medium plus sized lifetime. There has been changes to almost every area of my lifestyle. There are countless ways to view the realities of the cause and effects that are birthed out of these changes.…

Have you taken a serious look inside of yourself this week to determine what drives you, how you fullfill that desire and how long that fullfillment lasts? What is the latest and greatest hobby, project, relationship, diet, purchase etc. that you are certain is going to meet that deepest need with satisfaction like you have never experienced before? Spoiler Alert! It’s not going to happen, and…

So since our last converstation, have you noticed or looked deep within yourself to see if you noticed this hole inside? Have you attempted to make an honest determination of the things you are trying to fill this hunger with? From another perspective, what makes you happy, what drives you or even what do you use to attempt to suppress or take your attention off of reality? Have you given any…

Before I go any further, I would like for you to intertain the thought that there may be a chance, that there just possibly may be, an alternative, and everyone knows there is, to the theory that humanity developed on its own, and that out of nothing, all the intricacies you see around you, all the complexities of life, developed from non-life. Ponder if there is such a thing as truth and if…

We hunger for hope. We thirst for purpose. There is an innate desire in us that senses and searches for something more. This desire is intensified by the beauty we see in the brokenness. We see it in a sunset, in the sunrise over the ocean, in the eyes of a newborn child and in a clear starry night. There is beauty all around us every day if we will take the time to look for it. It was designed…

The concept of starting over is an essential aspect of being human. It is engrained into the very depths of our heart. You don’t have to have an exceptional memory to remember the last time you had to, wished you could or desired to, start over. My personal list of ‘I wish I could’ start over, from the past is at least a mile long. I personally am a casualty of a broken marriage and lived through…
