What To Wear In Church
One Sunday morning an old cowboy entered a church just before services. Although the old man and his clothes were spotlessly clean, he wore jeans, a denim shirt and boots that were very worn and ragged. In his hand, he carried a worn out old hat and an equally worn out old Bible. The church he entered was in a very upscale and exclusive part of the city. It was the largest and most beautiful...
End times thoughts
Many of you fellow blogateers know that for the last couple of weeks I have been talking about the second coming of Christ in my Sunday morning sermons at Bethany. Yesterday I spoke concerning the nations that would be involved in specific roles as spelled out by Ezekiel 38. One of the nations I mentioned was Russia and how many believe it is Russia and many of the former republics that were...
Marriage thoughts
Well as Donna and I celebrate 38 years of marriage - here are some thoughts on marriage sent to me by Chi Alpha Campus Pastor Dave Giles
Do You Want to Make Your Marriage Last?
Depending on which “study” you believe, the secret may be to make a lot of money, have more sons than daughters, and NOT live in Oklahoma – which has the highest divorce rate in North America! Not exactly advice that...
I'm a blessed man!
Well blogs are supposed to personal and about all kinds of news; etc. So with the personal aspect in mind… I want to publicly wish my wonderful wife Donna a happy 38th wedding anniversary. Anyone who could put up with me for 38 years - plus four years of dating - deserves not only a trophy but perhaps a monument!
If you read this Donna - your beauty astounds me, your heart for life warms...
Happy Birthday Israel...
I guess most of you are well aware this is a monumental week in the scope of world-wide affairs and things of Biblical importance because yesterday May 14 the modern nation of Israel celebrated its 60th anniversary of statehood. So not only do we want to wish them a happy birthday, but I want to convey I’ve had this event on my mind big time this week. For all those people who say they never...
Mother's Day reflections...
Well let’s step away from world news and politics and even spiritual lessons for a bit and talk about Mother’s Day. To begin with we had a wonderful day at Bethany Church and the mother in the house - my Donna, shared most of the message. As usual she was great. I love her insights into scripture - and yes of course I am biased… ask me if I care.
Then it was home to have the...
“What does God want us to do about evil? Is there really anything one person can...”

Fellow blog-ites. Sorry for a few days of no entries but I have been away at our Fellowship’s District Council. By the way it was a great time and the speaker was Dr. George Wood; the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God. In one simple word his messages were simply “amazing”. Wow was I impressed. I want to clear my head a bit and then blog about several of his...
