It was once a larger than life, imaginary-like concept. But now it’s a reality. No, I’m not talking about cheese crust pizza! C’mon, get your head in the game. This is WAY more fun than pizza. OK, so maybe that’s going a little too far. But check it out. The larger than life thing I’m talking about is robotic surgery. … The rest of the story…

I’m not sure who needs to read or hear this. Hopefully it’s not you. But consider these questions. Are you at the bottom rung of life’s ladder? Or are you on the mountaintop of momentum? Either way, it’s important to remember this one truism. This, too, shall pass. Yeah, great or awful, this, too, shall pass. This life you’re living … The rest of the story…
My “earthen vessel” challenges me to a duel every day. I’m sure you can relate. Because everybody faces challenges. But the daily duel is OK because it’s not like I’m alone in the wilderness. I’m not without power. Can you still relate? Do you sometimes (or often) feel the temptation to simply give up and give in? And that’s probably … The rest of the story…
I’ve been unaware of angels, on Earth, for my whole life. And I mean the real ones. Not the little kids that moms call “my angel.” No. I mean the ones I might have even unwittingly entertained. And I’ve entertained hundreds of thousands of people over the years. But apparently it’s easy to be unaware of angels. Which I find … The rest of the story…
Don’t do good deeds just because you might help an archangel unaware. Or any other kind of angel for that matter. In fact, don’t do good deeds, or good works, or just plain good stuff for any self-serving reason. And that might be more difficult than you think. The archangel unaware part is something I made up. But it’s based, … The rest of the story…
In our galaxy, but far, far away, are known forces at work. Like a giant vacuum cleaner. And I believe, once you hear this, you’ll see the zodiacal light and become a Christian. Well, maybe that’s just pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking. Or maybe some known forces will start working on your soul. But…to get back to my point for the day… … The rest of the story…
Years ago I wrote about what an amazing place America is. And that’s still true. From the fruited plains all the way up to, and past, the purple mountain majesty (which is the mountain shadow where I live). It’s just an awesome place to live. Except for one thing. The purple mountain majesty and fruited plains are filled with people. … The rest of the story…
I remember a line from a movie, but I don’t remember which movie, that applies to current events. And if you remember which movie this came from, let me know, and I’ll be sure to share that update and give you credit for it. But anyway…in the movie, which was set back in the pioneer days, the main characters had … The rest of the story…
Did you know the beautiful rings of Saturn are debris? You’ve heard that old expression, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”, right? Well, how about one planet’s debris is another planet’s beautiful scenery? That’s exactly what happens when we earthlings gaze at the rings of Saturn through our telescopes. You might say those rings are some delightful dust bunnies. … The rest of the story…
A great young man found the end of the road this week Imagine you’re sixteen. You’re just beginning to look like the adult you’re becoming. You have your whole life ahead of you. Now, imagine you’ve just been told that your whole life might be only another year. Maybe less. Lots of young people would immediately use it as an … The rest of the story…
Are you willing to do something for God today? I promise, it won’t be for nothing. You may be asking what you can do for God. I hope that’s the question anyway…and not a question of why. The answer is simple, really. Consider what you’re good at. Then figure out how to use that in a way to spread the … The rest of the story…
Hope is a good thing to have…especially when it’s so scarce. When you realize how numbered your days are…when you understand how many bad people are around…when you wonder how you’ll make it through another day, hope is a good thing to fall back on. Do you have it…hope? Or have you hoped before and things didn’t come through? Or … The rest of the story…
You like it when somebody says something nice about something you did. Right? Sure, everybody’s like that. We all need to be encouraged. It helps us to want to do even more. Don’t you think so? Do you know how to encourage somebody? And do you know when? Is there really any way to know? Yes, there is. Read on, … The rest of the story…
Exercise And Nutrition For the Body But It’s The Power of the Word For Life
The power of the Word of God is “sharper than any two-edged sword“. It can divide soul and spirit. To put it in perspective…a brain surgeon with a microscopic laser knife can’t begin to find where the soul ends and the spirit begins…much less divide the two. Since God can (and did) create the whole universe and every kind of … The rest of the story…
This Is Not A Heavenly Country
America is an amazing place. It has always been a place of refuge for refugees…a land of opportunity for anyone willing to go for it. If you’ve ever driven across it, you know how beautiful it is…from vast plains of crops and grasslands to purple mountain majesty to shining seas. Yep, America is still the best place on earth to … The rest of the story…
When you can see the light of God’s love shining on you, there ain’t no dark. And there ain’t no black hole in your heart…ever again. But it requires some faith on your part. However…it’s not like the blind faith required to believe in evolution or some other silly notion of our origin. Faith in God is substantive. There is … The rest of the story…
You’re a Christian in a post-Christian world. Even America is turning her back on you and your faith. You’re ridiculed, mocked, and even persecuted because you dare say Jesus is the only way to eternal life with God. How dare you be so “exclusive” and “polarizing”. Yep, it’s not easy to follow the teachings of Jesus and his apostles anymore. … The rest of the story…
I Am A Stranger in the Earth
Daily this “earthen vessel” challenges me to a duel. And daily it reminds me why I am a stranger in this earth. But that’s OK because I’m not alone in this journey. And I’m not without power. Do you sometimes (or often) feel the temptation to simply give up and give in? I think it’s almost a rhetorical question because … The rest of the story…
Do you pursue peace with all people? If so, I’m sure you’ve found out how difficult it is…impossible, in fact. Just because something is impossible doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pursue or attempt it. Remember…you aren’t in this life alone. You have God on your side, and with Him “all things are possible“. You DO have God on your side, don’t … The rest of the story…
