The Truth Of Love!

All my life I have been a part of conversations about scripture.  What does scripture mean?  Is that person following the correct interpretation of scripture?  Does his lifestyle fit into the bible as we see it? I myself spend countless hours tearing apart a single sentence in the bible.  I have even studied verses in…

TIME!

The last first day was hard.  The last first day brought reality to the surface like a slap in the face.  Tuesday, August 13th was my grandsons last first day of school.  He is a senior this year and so many things will change.  It made me think of how the clock only moves in…

The Kingdom!

I study during all of my spare time. I read not only scripture but viewpoints from theologians and wise people of scripture. I prefer all different viewpoints to get a better picture of the true meaning of the word.  Reading the bible and putting it into our lives is hard.  It is a puzzlement.  We…

Simply Jesus!

Eight years.  Eight years God has been using me to deliver the HJD message. For eight years I have been sending this message to the lead pastors of my church with no acknowledgment.  There are 8000 people who read HJD and many who use it to better their lives. However, my lead pastors do not…

Giant Grace!

The Grizzly Giant Redwood.  Three hundred fifty feet tall.  One hundred feet around at the base.  As I stand in the shadow of this unbelievable creation I think of you father.  How you took a seed the size of my fingernail and with love and nurturing you turned it into this amazing tree. You then…

Incomprehensible!

Quantum Physics fascinates me!  Inside each atom, the building block that God used to make everything… there is a proton and a neutron.  Beyond that is so much more.   Inside the human body there is seven billon billon billon atoms.  That is seven with 27 zeros.  Space is endless and growing.  There is approximately…

The Gift Of Life!

It was not our fault.  Nothing we had done caused our situation.  In a short period of time, our company, lost six hundred thousand dollars in two contracts.  Call it politics or call it budgeting, but the reality is… it’s gone.  However, when God closes doors he gives you windows.  Is it possible to create…

Image Of The Divine!

The concert was moments from starting as I sat in contemplation at the crowd.  Forty thousand strong, all there for the same experience.  As I watched… and thought about each… so many questions came into being.  We are all the same.  Each person there has people they love.  Each one uses the restroom many times…

Sexuality! A Gift!

I openly talk about lovemaking.  Among my family and friends it is a subject of laughter and discussion.  When two people love each other, the way Lorna and I do, it is a beautiful thing.  Why has society made it into something it’s not?  Why have we turned it into something dirty that we don’t…

Salvation For All!

Our world… our view of heaven and God, seem to be driven by our human egos.  I struggle with liking to play games.  My family and friends love to spend time together playing cards, dominos, and such. Nearly everyone I know likes to watch sports and cheer for their favorite team.  I struggle with it…
