Gathering with other believers to pray to our Almighty God is a privilege that truly never gets old. I find this even more impactful when you are blessed to be in a diverse group of internationals. Last night, again, I had such an opportunity as I joined believers and friends at the home of my…
This is the day when we, Christians, celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the One and Only Son of God. Sometimes, we forget that the rest of the world looks at us through a different lens. Especially in the culture today, we believers are under a microscope of judgement, being critiqued with a narrow set…
This morning, I felt myself being pushed over the edge about the current state of our nation… the willful ignorance of reality for the sake of the political collective… the CEO mentality of many of our church leaders… wars and rumors of wars… printing money as if the value were no better than toilet paper……
Earlier this week, I went to the funeral service of my cousin, Crystal Morrison. Even though she and I were from very different generations and not especially close, her passing hit me hard.

Over the last few months, five or six, I believe, I have met with a small group of believers to pray and fast for a day each month. We try to get together near the first Saturday of each month. I have held the fast most of those months, but not every month. A couple…
Remember that, my friend (see the post title). As I write this little message to you, I am also reminding myself again of that Biblical truth. In the book of John, eighth chapter, verse forty-four, Jesus said this to a group of religious leaders: You are of your father the devil, and your will is…
As I start writing this blog post, I have a Maranatha Praise Band (Promise Keepers) song playing in my head… “If my people, called by my Name… will humble themselves and pray…” Maybe you have heard this song? If not, visit this link to listen if you would like to. It will put you in…
