Great advice from the mother of Jesus. She already knew her son’s word was pure gold. In this case the “whatever” was filling six stone waterpots with water. Servants obeyed the “whatever” and filled the waterpots to the brim. With water.
Why? The “whatever” had nothing to do with the problem at hand. They were out [...]
Whatever He says to you do it.
Be of Good Cheer! He is Near!!!
When the disciples saw Jesus walking on the water they were frightened. They thought He was a ghost.
Be of good cheer! It’s me; don’t be afraid.
Sometimes when I peep beyond the edges of my boat I’m spooked by what I think I see too. I see ill omens and evil portents. I see no way [...]
For my financial supporters.
There’s so much to tell about the last year one post won’t do. So, before I say anything else I think it’s right to begin by thanking those who made the last year of my life possible. I’m talking about some friends who made financial sacrifices so they could support Amy and I for twelve [...]
For my Dad.
I’ve had a reconciliation with my dad. I’m so happy.
I discovered the dad who existed in my mind and memories no longer lives. The dad whom I feared is dead. The dad who could not comprehend or appreciate my simplistic trust in Jesus has now surpassed me in his willingness to live in the realm [...]
Moving On.
It’s hard to believe, but our year at Memorial Drive is nearly to an end. And what a great year it has been. Amy and I are so thankful for this opportunity and indebted to so many who made it happen for us.
Above all we will miss our precious friends in the Young [...]
Poor Amy.
Amy has shingles. She started not feeling well early last week and by Wednesday she was in extreme pain. Not to mention the rash.
Amy hates to be alone when she’s not feeling well so I’ve tried to be available to her exclusively since last Friday afternoon. I can’t really blame her for [...]
From a barren womb
Sarai was barren: she had no child
Genesis 11:30
Those seven words seem adrift like a lost ship. They are at odds with the context. They disrupt the poetic cadence of became the father of… became the father of… became the father of. How sad for Sarai. She was barren. The sore thumb. Out of [...]
How to waste a beautiful day.
Go the post office. I spent a year there Friday afternoon. A very long year.
I bet you didn’t know…
Princess Diana was murdered…by lizards. Not your run of the mill lizards either. They are an alien race who hide their reptilian nature beneath a human form.
Isn’t it amazing what you can learn on the internet? David Icke, a Brit, makes these amazing claims among others. Like being the son of God.
Anyhow, if you need [...]

I’m not Superman, but if I was my kryptonite would be cloudy days. Which means I would have been a pretty sorry superhero these last few weeks in Tulsa. However, I keep trying to see the bright side. Such as having a working sump pump I installed myself and having such wonderfully vibrant bright green [...]
