I was thinking about the soldiers of yesteryear who fought on foreign battlefields for their country, and yet who also longed for home and its many blessings. They were fighting to protect their homeland and yet, they longed to be home, enjoying the many blessings associated with it. While this could relate to just aboutContinue reading “Letters from the Front”

High-Watch Blues
My friend Tom Cote from Watchman River You Tube Channel mentioned the ‘high watch blues’ a few times in some of his recent vlogs. Not every watcher has the spiritual or emotional capacity to endure a high watch season and come out the other side, still ‘on this side’ as it were. If you canContinue reading “High-Watch Blues”
It Shall Be Well
I have been interiming as the Lead Pastor of a small country church in Central Missouri for the past 18 months. It has been an honor to serve these people of faith. They are old school Pentecostals who have worked very hard their entire lives and are longing for the return of the Lord. SomeContinue reading “It Shall Be Well”
The Art of Self Forgiveness & Self-Forgetfulness
I was reading in my devotional by Sara Young entitled Jesus Always – Embracing Joy in His Presence Sister Young writes her devos as if Jesus is the person who is talking. Some excepts of this particular devo is as follows: “…you need to learn the art of self-forgetfulness. You were not designed to stayContinue reading “The Art of Self Forgiveness & Self-Forgetfulness”
The Lord’s Day
I was thinking about the phrase, ‘the Lord’s Day,’ in correlation to the Return of Christ. The Lord’s Day should not be confused with ‘the Day of the Lord.’ The Lords’s Day is Sunday, the Day of the Lord is the seven-year tribulation, which can include the Rapture on the front side and the MillennialContinue reading “The Lord’s Day”
The Long Arm of the Lord
I have been thinking a lot about the injustice in our world. It seems like people in high places are getting away with murder, literally. I look around and see the injustice of the masses as the more conservative among us are persecuted or worse, billed for it. I am not just talking about Christians,Continue reading “The Long Arm of the Lord”
Something Big This Spring?!
Spring is in the air; and it’s always a wonderful time of year, especially in Paris (at least that’s what I hear). There’s something about the winter season passing, the snow melting, and the flowers blooming that resets the emotion of folks who are still struggling with a cold winter funk. It’s good to enjoyContinue reading “Something Big This Spring?!”
The Bridge is Out!
This is a sign that you want to read before you reach the place where you thought the bridge was, before it became ‘out.’ If you can see the sign and detour accordingly, you will be okay. However, what happens when you see the sign, but you can’t detour; there’s no going back because thisContinue reading “The Bridge is Out!”
From Eclipse to Pentecost
There are a lot of vlogs and posts on social media about the upcoming solar eclipse happening on Monday, April 8th. By the time you are reading this, it will be history. There is a lot of speculation as to what might happen as a result of this eclipse that completes an ‘X’ on theContinue reading “From Eclipse to Pentecost”
The Five Fatal ‘F’s’
When I was on the job back in the day, training was a big part of officer safety; especially working in a suburb city near Los Angeles. I loved the job, my fellow officers, and the ministry attached to working with them and the community. It was a good ride and I am glad toContinue reading “The Five Fatal ‘F’s’”
