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…
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…
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…
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…

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…
The thought of you. So many times I have told my amazing wife “I am not only in love with you, but I have been in love, with the thought of you, all my life”. God is a thought. A thought we all start out being in love with. That thought comes from a place…
Until we learn to talk seriously about the sermon on the mount and the beatitudes we will never truly know the heart of Christ. There the primary language is unlearning… letting go… surrendering… serving. Our western religious ideas are more about climbing and not about descending. We are fixated on doing it right. On being…
