Joseph’s Intimidation!

I feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders.  How am I suppose to be a dad to God’s only son?  How do I discipline him?  How do I teach him? How do I simply talk to him knowing who he is?  I’m just a simple man.  Why was I chosen to bear this burden and be blessed at the same time?  There could be no greater honor but I simply fell in love with a girl.  Just like Joseph, so many times we feel intimated by his presence.  Then our Lord takes us in his arms and reassures us he simply loves.  He simply cares. He simply wants to be with us.  There is no greater honor than to be one of his children.
Merry Christmas!
I Love You!

How BIG is YOUR tent?

I hear so much talk among Christians and the world, about sexual preference and transgender roles.  My thoughts always turn to Phillip and the Eunuch.  A Eunuch was a boy chosen because he had female characteristics.  He would then have his genitalia removed.  This would take away his desire and he would look very similar…

Stop and Listen!

Do you remember 9/11?  Most can tell you what they were doing…  where they were…  As I think on disasters, I find one thing to be true.  It brings people back to God.  After 9/11 churches were full.  Children that had lost their way to God, found him again.  We have a God… that wants…

Respect!

As his children… born in his image… we have in our DNA the ability to love and respect everyone around us.  Regardless of our differing views, differing beliefs or differing lifestyles, respect and love should always go hand in hand. Certain situations deserve, in fact demand, ultimate respect.  As I stood in the Lincoln Memorial…
