Prayer is talking to God. Just that simple. The power of prayer is not knowing about it…it’s in doing it! God still answers prayer…but do we still pray. Jesus taught His disciples, “when you pray” not if you pray. Prayer connects believers with God and the resources of heaven. What a privilege we have to pray.
The shortest route and his all too frequent business trips took Normand down the same road, past the same houses, past the same ponds and past the same trees. But one day Normand noticed a strange looking tree. He felt that there was a message in the tree, but he didn’t stop. After a […]
I had been warned that it was cooler in the mountains, so I wore long pants and a quarter length sleeve. A light drizzle started as we approached the Blue Ridge Parkway, so we ate our picnic lunch in the car. I knew the mountains held the last of the mountain laurels and this would […]
I wanted to see the Mountain Laurels in bloom so we decided to go to church in Spruce Pine. As I entered the restroom a nice lady greeted me. We began to chat. She was originally from Florida too. Actually, everyone I met that day had lived in Florida at some point in their life. […]
Kimberly made an interesting comment in my blog yesterday…”I know your prayers have helped me get back up when I wasn’t sure I had any fight left!” Her post actually fed a thought that was already rattling around inside my head.

Kimberly was down the street from where I walk, buying a few groceries, and I wanted to get to see her. So, I ran. It was not a pretty site, all that fat flapping in the breeze. It sounded like my bike did when, as a kid, I clothes-pinned a baseball card in the spokes. […]
This year is Leap Year and today is Leap Day. It’s an extra day. You just can’t let this day get by without taking a leap. Ladies, I don’t recommend that you run off and propose to someone, especially if you haven’t seen them since last Leap Day! But I do recommend that you take a leap- […]
Most months just fly by, but not January. I am one of many people that has been fasting in January. While I have NOT gone on a total fast, it’s been a modified Daniel fast. On the “Fasting Scale” of impressive fasts, it wouldn’t mean much to most believers, but it’s been challenging for me. […]
School bus. Don’t forget to pray for teachers, students, children and/or our educational system when you see a bright yellow school bus. A bus driver recently made the national news for his erratic and reckless driving. Children on the bus called their parents, who in turn called the police. He was issued a DUI, driving while under […]
I needed to make a decision. Every time I thought about the situation I prayed. For weeks I prayed. Fear and dread began to grip me and still I prayed. One day I listened to what I was saying. I heard myself praying, “Oh, Lord. I don’t know what to do. Please help me, Lord, […]
The highest privilege ever afforded to man is the power of prayer. …then why don’t we pray? The right to talk to the highest potentate in all the universe… …then why don’t we pray? The most powerful force accessible to man is the potential of prayer… …then why don’t we pray? The greatest longing in […]
