I think that the problem starts with assuming that, “Well, I am perfectly sane and those people don’t agree with me so they must be insane.” The truth is that we are all, naturally insane! So why do we whine about human beings doing insane things? What else could they do! Insane people do and […]

DEATH COMES BIT BY BIT
God warned, “In the day that you eat of that tree, you shall surely die!” Eve took a bite and handed it to Adam. He looked at her and saw a georgeous woman who seemed to still be full of life, so he took a bite and we all died. For as by one man […]
Why is it that when the team is winning, they take the credit, but when they lose it is the coach’s fault? The worst possible thing that can happen to people is comfort and ease while they happily sin. Read the Bible, every time God comes through and brings victory and prosperity; the people respond […]
People were always telling the Lord to shape up and do things their way. When I think that I have a genie in the bottle god, I will always be upset at him because He is a very bad genie. The Lion of the tribe of Judah is not a tame lion! He does not […]
Let your moderation be known unto all men. Philippians 4:5 God designed me to taste and see that things are good and pleasant and then want them again in his time and in moderation. First comes curiosity from watching others and then comes tasting and, when it is pleasant, dopamine is released and this primes […]

Luke 12:13 And on of the company said unto Jesus, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. And Jesus said unto him, Man who made me a judge or a divider over you? And he said unto them, Take heed and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not […]
I’m fond of pointing out that I am the shiest person ever. Of course, no one believes me because, by the grace of God, I am able to live above my shyness. Moses tried to get out of leading the Lord’s people because he claimed he could not talk. Was he just lying? I think […]
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom: the fear of the Lord is to hate evil: in order to hate evil I need to see the consequences of my choices. The greatest evil is iniquity ie. I will be my own god by deciding right and wrong, doing this “right” in […]

HOW TO LOOK DEAD WHEN I AM
I’m to be dead to sin. I do have an advantage over some fellow followers of Jesus; in that I have been privileged to observe dead people. There were the people who generously left their “tents” for me to learn anatomy in medical school. Victims of auto accidents, bodies in morgues waiting to be moved […]

I JUST CAN’T!
A fellow traveler complained this week that when his counselor gives him assignments, he feels that it is like asking a man to read a self-help book when the man can’t read. This would sound like a valid objection, but the man stopped there. He should have continued. I do have to change and grow, […]
