Mercifully Unfair!

“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him.” First Corinthians 2:9 The plane banked slowly over the Hanford nuclear sight as we set course for the Seattle-Tacoma airport.  I had made this trip dozens of times already this year but…

The Deeper Things

“I will give to each of you according to your works.  But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I do not lay on you any other burden (Rev 2:23-24).” By the time…

He Knows who He is. Do you?

“And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,            …

Hosanna in the highest!!!

“They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, ‘Hosanna…

The Forbidden Fruit

Every year in January I begin another journey through the bible over the upcoming year.  Last year I started a little early and began the 2021 journey the day my daughter was born.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read through the bible but this year as my daughter turned one, I could…

The Superiority of the Law of Moses

Graduating High School, I didn’t have a clear idea or path towards what or who I was to become as an adult.  The year I graduated my High School offered three one-year tuition waivers to our local community college.  One was for an athletic candidate.  That was not me.  While I was average in skill…

The Perfect Plan

“I am the resurrection and the life (Joh 11:25).” I teach National Guard Army staff officers the staff process.  It is a practical approach.  We give the officers an order that was supposedly produced by their higher headquarters, we teach a step of the process, and then they do that step of the process.  When…
