I am very excited about Soul Winners Boot Camp! It’s just a few days away, October 23-25. Our church has been praying a fasting for several weeks now and you can already feel the effects in our services and even around town. It is as if the ceiling is being taken off the atmosphere [...]
Haunted Houses

If you still live in a house you may need to buy extra candy this year for those little ones who come by your place and say, “trick or treat”.
And, please….before you start sending me reasons we don’t believe in Halloween, I already know. I just thought this was sadly cute. [...]

Disclaimer: I know that “Think Pink” is the motto for breast cancer awareness. This article has nothing to do with that.

New Post?
Posted in Blogroll on October 8, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Nathaniel called me a couple of days ago and said that he is disowning me as a fellow blogger if I didn’t post something new. So here is my new post so that I am not disowned…
I’m sick of politics. I will be glad when it’s all over.
Other than that… God is great! [...]
Great is Your Reward

I have been thinking lately about my reward in Heaven. Matthew 5: 11-12 says:
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted [...]
A Picture Worth a Thousand Words

I received this from a friend today and thought it worth sharing with you.
The picture was taken in 1918. It is thousands of men preparing for war in a training camp at Camp Dodge in Iowa. A gift from our grandfathers …
Imagine how long these men had to stand in that one spot to set [...]
