Where Is Joy?

I have watched her for forty years as she moves thru the day.  Beautiful… heart of gold… and a love for God.  I am so blessed! I look at pictures of my children and grandkids.  All healthy… all good and loving people.  I am so blessed!  I behold the land that we have been made stewards of.  The feeling of peace and the presence of God is in this place.  I am so blessed!  I ponder the company that belongs to God, that he allows us to reside over.  The amazing people that work there and the help the company gives to them.  I am so blessed!  I think on my friends… my church… and the comfort they give.  I am so blessed!  The health that we enjoy and the love that fills our home.  I am so blessed!  We live our lives not knowing what is around the next corner.  We are not sure what tomorrow holds and if our world will fall apart.  If everything I just mentioned crumbled like a stale cookie, I would still be so blessed.  Blessed to know the love of God.  Blessed to have experienced so much favor.  Blessed to live a life of peace and love.  Blessed to be allowed to reveal Gods heart through Happy Jesus Day!  I encourage you to spend your day looking to everything he has blessed you with.  As Jiminy Cricket says:  “accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative”.  You will find joy in those moments. 

2 Corinthians 9:8

I Love You!

Love Matters More!

How does a man find his own heart?  We look in the mirror and we see our reflection looking back.  We see pictures of the shell that God granted us. That shell, we spend so much time on, simply doesn’t matter.  Our mission… our goal… is to find our heart.  When God, with Christ, said…

Teach Me Patience!

Why do we look for answers with impatience?  Why do we struggle with faith not knowing for sure in our hearts that he will show up?  We worry… we get impatient… we want our way, in our time.  We look to our own understanding with no regard to his ways… his time.  We make our…

No Need For Rules

Have you thought about what it would be like to strip away all of self and replace it with love.  What if we could get so in tune with God that all selfishness was gone?  Simply by being human we are selfish by nature.  We always want what is best for us.  We might consider…

Life Changed!

As I sit in this large restaurant, there are so many people. Waiters and waitresses.  Buss boys and cooks.  Everyone rushing around.  People are busy eating and visiting.  It gives me pause.  I think on the hustle and bustle, of Bethlehem this night.  The streets were crowded.  The taverns where filled to overflowing.  The hotels…

His Name Is Jesus!

It happens daily.  I notice it when I wear my HJD shirts.  People look at me and form a pre-conceived idea when they see the name Jesus.  Many tell me they like my shirt.  Those inquires are great.  The ones I worry about… the ones that keep me up at night… are the ones that…

It’s What You See!

As I ride thru the Pacific side of Mexico I am reminded of how truly blessed I am.  We had stopped at the oldest brick making operation in Mexico. As we entered I expected to see machinery.  I was amazed to see none of that. Instead I saw men, using mud, and manure to produce…
