Books for the babes, blog for the Body!
At times, my children have asked how I know our heavenly Father has spoken to me. They've asked me how he has given messages. Our Lord has expressed himself through a timely song on a radio, or through a comment someone made that I knew deep inside of my spirit was from him. Often when... Continue Reading →
When I was growing up I thought of God as a large cosmic man on a glowing throne looking down on us. I don't know how I came up with this idea, but I always imagined him watching me and saying, "I saw that! I saw that, too!" Because of this preconceived notion, I didn't... Continue Reading →
When I prayed asking the Lord to remove anything from my life that would keep me from growing closer to him, the answer sure didn't look like I thought it would. When a girlfriend and I walked around the local school praying for the children and her son, the answer sure didn't look like we... Continue Reading →

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1, KJV The afternoon sun was high in the sky, making the air hot and sticky. There was a grove of trees on the west side of the field, and they were just tall enough to give me some... Continue Reading →
There has been quite a bit of time since my last blog post. For this one, I had to make absolutely sure I had the Lord's permission to share it. I believe he gave me his approval because God wants to comfort his people regarding their loved ones who are nearing death. When I experienced... Continue Reading →
The picture above this post is beautiful! I wish I had taken it, but the few pictures I took were much closer! I mentioned in previous posts that I worked as an agronomist for several years. One would expect to see wildlife in that line of work. In 2020 however, I often saw at least... Continue Reading →
As I begin this post I want to start with a disclaimer: I am not a dream interpreter. I have, however, received several dreams from my Lord since the first one in 2017. I have listened to godly men and women who studied the Bible and were given the gift of interpreting dreams. Through their... Continue Reading →
Recently I was watching a movie on PureFlix (https://www.pureflix.com/discover) and the main character asked an older gentleman, who claimed to be his guardian angel, how well he ranked in the kingdom of God. The man replied that angels were taking God's messages all over the world, fighting spiritual battles, and he was babysitting the main... Continue Reading →
