Because I know prayer changes things, we must pray and keep on praying. Here are some posts that will build your faith and inspire you to persist until you breakthrough to victory.
Don’t cut it down in winter. I know every naked tree looks dead… Especially when standing beside Evergreens wearing emerald overcoats. Even worse are the naked trees amongst those wearing fiery red or pumpkin orange ponchos that flap in the wind. But if your only indication that the tree might be dead is the […]
There once was a woman who swallowed a fly. The nursery rhyme asks… “perhaps she will die.” And everyone gasps, “Oh my! Why?” But when I say, “There once was a woman who swallowed a lie.” No one gasps or even asks. A lie is harmless our actions imply. Besides, “Why should I pry?” […]
Work My stacks are calling me. My cluttered closet is screaming, so I shut the door and look in the other direction. We want to totally finish the cabin. Wayne’s here to work and I’m here to hear. Study. Pray. Get ready for upcoming meetings. But the wood pile screams about picture frames and rustic […]
Guest Post by my Pastor Jim Wilder. YOU BETTER GET IT RIGHT WHEN IT MATTERS! Did your team win last night? I have to confess that I was left disappointed as I hoped for a repeat from the mighty Seahawks! I have to remind myself it’s just a game, yet like many of you, I […]
Is Your Porch Facing the Right Direction? I’m preaching a revival in Lake Wales. (And wow has God been awesome!) We didn’t really want to get on the treadmill at the hotel, so Wayne found this great park downtown. Southern Hospitality We were greeted by a pair of trumpeting red-headed Florida Sand Cranes. That’s right, […]

For a spirit of “one accord” to prevail among the churches. “When the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place” […]
Jesus longs to comfort His children, but we must come close enough to receive His peace. Discover how lingering in God’s Presence brings lasting comfort.
Prayer Training Keira always offers the same foot first when I offer to help her get her shoes on, as she goes out the door. I haven’t learned her habit so I always offer the wrong shoe. It’s a habit that her mom started very young, left foot first, then the right foot. The routine makes […]
This isn’t a Christmas post. This is not even a late Christmas post. Maybe it’s just my personality…maybe I’m trying to get the last little bit…like trying to squeeze the last little bit of toothpaste out of a totally flat tube. But I don’t want to leave the season without getting transparent with you one more time. […]
I want to share a table scape with a Candy Cane Prayer Christmas message with you. A beautiful table with a beautiful message, a winning combination for sure. I’ve been putting up Christmas decorations. Designing table scapes are my favorite thing to do in the whole world, well, except preaching and playing with my grandkids […]
And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7 NAS It is only mentioned in Luke. And Luke doesn’t comment. He simply states the fact…no room. Nothing more. I want more information. How many […]
It’s FUN! Really? People try to explain it to me, but I don’t get it. This whole fear factor element behind the way some folks celebrate Halloween.They defend their enjoyment with “It’s fun! It’s an adrenal rush!” My daughter echoed my sentiments when she shared the stark terror one little boy encountered at one […]
