A few days ago, a dear friend expressed to me that she didn’t like hearing preachers and others in the church community say how God wants us to be holy, not happy. I told her that is a lie. And as I thought about it more, I believe it’s a lie from the devil himself. [...]

Motto: Helping One, Help Another.
Born in the great state of North Carolina. After four years in the North Carolina National Guard and 22 1/2 in the United States Air Force, I retired in Montgomery, AL. As a retired military member and retired law enforcement officer, I've learned to discern people and judge character. Service doesn't stop after service to your country, service is forever. I really learned that when I accepted Jesus Christ into my life. Now my service continues, for Him! Three of the most important themes I learned from the bible are service is forever, "Just Do What's Right" and love, love, love. Jesus is the Answer for the world today, tomorrow, and always. Please help me share His love, and Let's Change the World Together.
Oops, Too Late
The time is coming when time ends, in this world anyway. We will run out of it. Life as we know it, is over. But it doesn’t have to be over for us if we make the best decision we can ever make, accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. He has returned to the [...]
We Are All Unworthy
A lot of people in today’s society feel underappreciated, undervalued, even unhonored. But sometimes we take it too far. Yes, we deserve our wages and should be treated fairly but after that, we should only get what we are promised whether through contract or word of mouth. Luke 17:7-10 reads, “When a servant comes in [...]
The Whole World Is Hurting
Reading Luke 12:1-3 we are told, “Meanwhile, the crowds grew until thousands were milling about and stepping on each other. Jesus turned first to his disciples and warned them, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees—their hypocrisy. The time is coming when everything that is covered up will be revealed, and all that is secret [...]
I Want to Be with Him in Paradise
Some people wonder if they can live their whole lives in sin, then make a turn to Jesus in the end and be saved. After all, the thief on the cross did it, right? I personally wouldn’t want to chance it. The thief on the cross got to experience Christ in the flesh. He saw, [...]
The Journey to Oneness
When I think about the goodness of God, I tend to focus most on His love for us and His desire for our unity, to become one, in Him. If we pay attention to the Word, He expresses it in a wonderful story to us as individuals, and as the church. He is the Lord [...]
Comfort and Hope Through Christ – Devo
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. (2 Corinthians 1:3) Last night as I lay in [...]
The Real G.O.A.T.
Tired of conversations about who’s the greatest of all time (G.O.A.T.) in a particular profession or sport. So am I. The subjects of the conversations aren’t really G.O.A.T.’s at all. They are outstanding, extremely talented, and skillful participants in their era. But of all time? No! They have been favorably gifted by God as builders, [...]
NOISE
Working with a youth basketball league this year, I started paying extra attention to the actions of parents in the stands, coaches on the floor, and the children playing. Most of the parents were into their own thing and would occasionally watch the game. Some of them came to socialize, but a lot were seriously [...]
USED
Sometimes good deeds and the people that do them are taken for granted. The Pareto principle states that 80 percent of results come from 20 percent of actions. This may or may not be true, but if you’re one that’s involved, whether in church, family event planning, social event planning, or the job, it sure [...]
