The apartment complex where I live is like an evergreen tree planted in the middle of the Sahara Desert. It's an evergreen tree so there must be some hope there. But the water that gives life is barely present. Home Health Aides, Meals on Wheels, and transportation service for Veterans are here on a daily … Continue reading Damming the Waters

Fear Twists the Arm and Demands Obedience
I know that as soon as I let fear motivate what I do then I will be influenced by the destructive forces that exist in my own neighborhood. This small city where I live has a drug problem.

Ice Cream and the Spirit
I like to enjoy the spirit of life without getting caught up in too many details. I like soft ice-cream in the cone from a dairy shed.

Creator’s Church or Creature’s Church?
I worked at a Church/Christian school for about 6 years and was required to work Sundays from 7am to 3pm. They have several hundred people in attendance each Sunday morning.

5G is OK Until It’s Not
There are those people who warn about the evils of the 5G network, smart TVs, and every other new technological advance that arises. I happen to have 5G devices and a smart TV. That is far from saying that technology is frustration free, far from it. In fact, I understand why some people seem to … Continue reading 5G is OK Until It’s Not
Basic Instinct?
I like to think of myself as being someone who is doing the best that I can to be a decent human being. I like to keep my thoughts aligned with positive attitudes and to keep my feelings on a humanitarian level. Then, there are always those who never allow me to relate to spiritual … Continue reading Basic Instinct?
WHO, PETA, and Ecologists Supports Christ’s Sacrifice?
Hebrews 10 If I lived during the time that Leviticus was written and lived under all those religious requirements, I don't know what I would have done. I suppose I would have been a one-man exodus. I would have been trying to escape all those requirements for being right with God and to escape the … Continue reading WHO, PETA, and Ecologists Supports Christ’s Sacrifice?
