Would You Rather...

  Remember when you were young, playing the imaginary game of "Would You Rather..."?  Simply said, it went something like "Would you rather live your life without hands, or be blind and deaf"?  It was usually always something morose, making the choice extremely difficult. Our whole life is built on choices.  We choose what to eat, what to wear, who we will marry, what job we have, and on and on it goes.  We are always making choices in some capacity.  Some of those choices are good ones, in which we look back and thank our lucky stars that we made the right choice, others not so much.  Every choice we make, comes with consequences.  The questions is, which ones?  Bad choices, though they may not seem bad at the time, come with bad consequences, Proverbs 14:12 says this:  "There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death" .  This is because we have an enemy who is sneaky and cleaver, who studies us.  He knows our desir

Will I Still Be Your God?

  Will I Still Be Your God? January 16, 2024 6:00 am  I was awake early in the morning and decided to look outside at this beautiful white scene that blanketed my entire neighborhood.  It had snowed a day before and the temperature was cold enough to preserve this gorgeous snowy wonderland.  I always marveled at the snow blanketing ever tree branch and covering the ground to create a beautiful, picturesque memory that will forever be etched in my mind.  The stillness and quietness of the earth under this blanket of white always brought peace to my soul.   I was praising God for this beautiful winter backdrop, and thanking Him for providing shelter and heat during this cold snap, when He spoke to me... "What if your heat goes out?  Will I still be your God?  What if your food supply dries up, will you praise me then?" "Remember my servant Job?  I was the One who blessed his body with healing and gave back to him more land, more livestock, and more children, than before.&q
  June 13, 2021  Three Storms For the past three nights in a row, I've had a reoccurring dream involving a storm, flooding, and being trapped in some capacity.  I typically don't remember any dreams, unless they are significant and out of the ordinary, and I certainly don't have very similar dreams in such rapid succession, therefore, I took note when I had three such dreams in a row.  Each of these dreams were the last dream I had just prior to walking up that morning.   I am a believer that dreams can often be metaphorical.  Sometimes they play out exactly as they are dreamt, however many times they symbolize something else which often isn't realized until it happens. UPDATE:    Hurricane Ian just made it's way through Florida on September 28,2022 as a CAT 4 storm when it made landfall.  In my dreams I saw a specific area in New Smyrna Beach, FL, a route I took to work everyday.  I just got off the phone with a neighbor friend of mine who told me that most of New

A MOMENT CHANGES EVERYTHING

April 11, 2015 A Moment Changes Everything There’s a song by David Grey called “A Moment Changes Everything” .   How true that is.  We live in a society plagued of instantaneousism.  It’s not a real word I admit, but it best depicts the the world today, where everything is fast paced and only getting faster. There are so many instantaneous moments in our lives that will impact us forever.  It only takes a moment for a teenager to engage in an unhealthy activity, or for a husband to cheat on his wife; both of which carry heavy consequences. There’s good moments as well like the moment a couple stands before God and proclaims “I do”.  How many moments have passed by, for us to make the single most important decision that will impact our lives for eternity?  It took me a moment in severe pain to realize that I am not in control, and that all the so many moments in my life, didn't add up to much but misery.  It took a moment to ask for forgiveness from the One

THE SINFUL SNOWBALL EFFECT

April 4, 2015 The Sinful Snowball Effect We hear a lot about how we need to forgive other's transgressions against us if we want Jesus to forgive ours.  It's easier said than done, especially when the transgression is directed at us like an arrow hitting it's bulls-eye.  Sometimes it feels like we have a target on our backs.  Sometimes the sin against us is so grievous that it's difficult beyond words to comprehend.   Recently I was afforded ( again , as so often in my life) the "opportunity" to forgive.  Of course at first we don't see our circumstances as opportunities to grow in Christ and show His love to others.  We're wounded, cut to the core; we want that person to feel the pain that they have inflicted on us.  Our minds quickly go to the "What If" reel.  What if I had said this instead of that?  What if I had done this?  And on and on it goes.  The longer we entertain those thoughts, the harder it becomes to regain ou
