I needed my eyes opened. I was down and doubting BUT THEN I was invited to a retreat (I realize I mentioned it last week). At this retreat me and several other guys disconnected from life for 48 hours. I did not know what time it was, I did not have my phone (it was … Continue reading To See HIM High and Lifted Up!

Back To Where “Who I’ve Been With”…
I just got back home from a 48 hour men's retreat with some gentleman from all over South Arkansas. Our key bible verse of the retreat was Acts 4:13.

Give Us Barabbas!
In the Bible, Mathew 27:20-23 struck me the other day. At Jesus's trial Pilate asks, as custom, who the crowd wants him to release from prison: the criminal Barabbas or the Messiah, Son of God, Jesus Christ. The crowd yells they want Barabbas. The criminal. The CSB calls him a notorious prisoner. Now the chief … Continue reading Give Us Barabbas!
A Light
A few days ago we watched the series A Small Light about a lady, Miep Gies, who helped the Frank family during the Holocaust. It's a unique story on the Franks.

They were very friendly but I'd almost bet that if I went inside the fence to mess with the sheep it … Continue reading The Shepherd!

Usually I'll forget to jot it down but I remembered to do so when I got to the gym. Then today I did a quick Google to … Continue reading Easy and Light
Homesick…
I've talked about it before, but "My Verse" is Philippians 1:20. Its my favorite, it's one that struck me back in high school and became "mine". It my hope, it's where I'm going. I eagerly expect and hope. I've been saved by HIS grace. I've been promised a home forever... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPLDMAswKf8&list=RDmPLDMAswKf8&start_radio=1 I eagerly expect and … Continue reading Homesick…
