Two days ago, I felt pretty good. I woke up at 5 am and kept going until the afternoon, when I had a quick nap. Yesterday I woke up to massive brain fog and the now familiar balance issues. Frustrating. I have many things I would like to write, but the brainfog stops me … More My day in the wilderness
Peace. What is true Peace? How do we obtain it? Did you know that Peace is a weapon? I found myself marking every page and writing in my notebook as I read The Weapon of Peace: Warfare Strategies from the Courts of Heaven by Reeni Mederos. What is illegal spiritual warfare, and how does it … More The best 4 bucks I ever spent
When Simon Peter first met Jesus, He told him to go out to the deep water and let down his nets to catch some fish. Peter replied, “Well we were out there all night and caught nothing, but because you say so, I’ll give it a try.” Peter caught so many fish that he had … More First impressions count
Although when I was in the midst of vomiting, I did say “Jesus please help me”, once I was stabilized and realized I was in for a journey, I fell back into my old routine, mistakes and all. This is how I did it. Fear. I let fear get ahold of me. What if … More The 10 steps I followed in my crisis, for better or worse
Romans 8:31-39 What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He did not even spare His own Son but offered Him up for us all; how will He not also with Him grant us everything? Who can bring an accusation against God’s elect? God is … More Do I still believe when the physical evidence is against me?
Today, I would like to share some reminders from scripture: So I say with confidence; the Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? — Hebrews 13:6 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of Grace, that we may obtain mercy and find Grace to help in … More Seeking Help
We expect our prayers to be answered a certain way and we are upset when they are answered differently. Let’s take a look at John the Baptist. (This was not directly answer to prayer so much as an answer to a question.) For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him … More When the answer is not the one you wanted.

A fortress is a place of safety and protection, usually high above ground, where you can watch for enemy attacks, and be ready to … More I want to tear down all the prisons!
I wrote this a few years ago in response to some Jehovah Witnesses who had showed up at my door. I thought it would be helpful to have all this information in one place. JESUS IS GOD. John 1:1-5 The Word Became Flesh 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, … More When Jehovah Witnesses knock on your door, tell them the truth. Jesus is God.
Kinda sounds like a new band, doesn’t it? I was wondering why the Bible is so specific in telling us that Jairus’s daughter was 12 years old. Why would it matter? The good news was that she was healed, raised from the dead. But it would be just as good if she had been 2, … More Jairus and the Twelves

Today starts a series of devotionals I am using to become a better Ambassador for Christ. I am meditating on this particular scripture today. ? But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give…
I recently watched a man on television who had a vision of Judgment Day, the Return of Jesus to the Earth. He had a $40 package that people could purchase to learn what they needed to do to be ready for Christ’s return. I decided to search the Bible for myself and get some answers … More In God’s waiting room
Yes, it’s true. God loves tax collectors. This is the story of a short man who was up a tree. Yep, sittin’ in a tree. There was a great crowd of people who were pressing in to see who was walking down the street. Who was this, a celebrity? Zacchaeus was a short man so … More God loves tax collectors
“Dad, why are you throwing a party for him?” Dan asked. “I’m the one that’s always here for you. I’m the one who does what you ask. I deserve to make merry with my friends.

Wise Men from the East Matthew Chapter 2 2 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and … More Wise Men (and women)
…Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”Matthew 19:26 This scripture keeps jumping in front of my eyes today. 🙂 Sometimes we need to be reminded.We go through things that are hard to understand. Then we have to remember: “All things work together … More With God all things are possible.
This is what happens when we take scriptures out of context. If we read the beginning of the Bible (Old Testament), with rules for sacrificing animals, but we don’t read the New Testament, we won’t understand that the sacrifices were pictures of what the Messiah was going to do. He was the sacrifice God gave … More “Judas hanged himself.” “Go and do likewise”
Frank Costanza (of Seinfeld fame) was onto something with his celebration of Festivus. I may be the only Christian who hates this time of year. Besides the endless commercialism outside the church, inside the church are endless debates over whether Jesus was actually born on December 25, or if He was born during September during … More I’m ready for my Feats of Strength
