WHY!

I grieve… I mourn… I sometimes cry uncontrollably…

Gandhi.  Dr King.  Kennedy.  Lincoln.  Lennon.  Evers.  Our Savior Jesus Christ…  all killed simply because they stood for peace… for love! 

I have great trouble understanding why?  Understanding the struggle between Gods’ children.  Why do we use skin color. Race. Differences in opinion. Nationality… as an excuse for such hatred and such violence?  I see friends and loved ones not speaking simply because they disagree.  I see churches terminating leaders because they are not perfect.  Scripture tells me that we are all his children and made in his image.  So why do we abuse and treat each other as we do?  Why do we judge based on color, based on opinions, based on differences in lifestyle?  Are we not ALL made in his image and filled with his spirit?  From that spirit we inherit the knowledge that anything, other than love, for others, is wrong.  Stop letting the evil one direct your actions and look solely to the spirit that lives in you.  The spirit of the God who made you.  The spirit that says I don’t care who you are, where you come from, or what you did, you deserve my love… my respect… my compassion!  Oh to live in that world!!   

Romans 15:7-13

I Love You!

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…

Love Is All That Matters!

Matthew Chapter 22.  During times like these when anxiety fills the air  We must remember that we are all more alike than different…   Christ would love first.  During times like these when there is so much division the wise build bridges while the foolish build barriers…    Jesus would love first.   As we…

Giving Thanks

He waited and waited.  Days went by.  Then weeks.  Then months.  All he wanted was a simple “Thank You”.  All he got was one problem after another.  One request after another.  He had done so much for his children and yet he still just heard complaining.  It is so easy for us to get stuck…

Joseph’s Burden!

I’m not sure what I am to do.  My future wife is pregnant, and it is not mine.  How can I stay with her?  She is disgraced among our people.  How can I be expected to raise this baby, as if it were mine?  There was this angel.  I think it was an angel… it…
