big money One thing is for sure; I am not wealthy nor will I ever be wealthy. But really, how much wealth do I need? And I am talking about money. Most people will say "you can never have too much money". I have said that, believed it, and worked my arse off for a lifetime in order to get as much of the stuff as I could. Surviving 68 years now, the results are...

If you have the time to scroll through the few slides above you will see just a snippet of a life well lived and "a life well loved." There are thousands of other photos that testify to the enormous amount of love that was not only received, but given by this gift from God we all knew simply as "Liz". We lost Liz three years ago. It's hard to believe she's been gone from us...

The Cross Wrath or Love? Thanks to Brother Bobby Brown's bible study Well, I knew the answer was a symbol of love right off the bat since first of all I wear a cross around my neck for that reason; to show as a symbol of God's love for me and all mankind. Additionally, John 3:16 says: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him...

The Bible does not state that you must attend church in order to be saved or reach the Kingdom of God. But the Bible does say in Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." My old excuses for not attending church were just that, excuses. Of course there are hypocrites in churches just as exists in the corporate world. We have...

A sinner After Liz's passing, immediately followed by my anger, cursing, and temper tantrums directed towards God, something dawned on me (I'm a bit slow). Hey, if I'm angry and blaming God for Liz's death, that means I obviously believe in Him. It's hard to hate someone if they don't exist. So that obviously erased my #5 excuse for not attending church, which was: (I'm not sure if God exists). Maybe it was the wonderful...

A Sinner My excuse list grew longer and stronger when My wife Liz passed. There could be no God that would take her instead of me. Certainly no God that I wanted to worship. She was the follower and worshipper of God, not me. My passive belief in God quickly turned to anger and I cursed God, church buildings, religion, and any people involved with what I now considered to be a bunch of BS....

God Chose Me The title of this article "Make an Impression, Even If It's Disgust" came to me while participating in a Bible themed race called "Amazing Grace". While participating in these races or just for exercise, I always wear my favorite hat which reads "walking with Jesus". I wear the hat because without Him I would not be out there. In addition to the hat, a Bible race bib will display the name of...

Is this one one of em? Whenever I heard the term "Jesus Freak" it conjured up visions of someone dressed in robes passing out flyers at the airport or someone dragging a cross down the road. In the sixties there were groups or communes of young people that sang and chanted about Jesus, peace, and love. So, are these Jesus freaks? What the heck is a Jesus freak anyway? Freaky Definitions "Freak": (Strange) a thing, person, animal,...

The Unhappy Christian You may know me. You certainly know where to find me. I am in my allotted space on the pew every time the church doors are open. I can spout an AMEN! with the best of em' during any sermon and will construct a powerful eloquent prayer when called upon to do so. There is no one that can out quote me on scripture, or best my knowledge of the Bible, nor...
