and the Power of Prayer
A couple of days ago I completed, “Piercing the Darkness” by Frank Peretti. This is the sequel to, “This Present Darkness.” Though this series is fictional, the concepts presented are not. (Note- This series is not recommended for younger readers.) These books bring into sharp focus the reality of the spiritual [...]
This Friday night/Saturday morning I will be completing levels 1 and 2 training for my job. I will be learning (amongst other things) radio communication, handcuffing, and mace and baton training. I will learn self-defense moves, approaches, etc. For this type of training, one of the experienced officers gets into a “red suit” and you [...]
Wednesday evening I was headed home in my Mustang. We live out in the country close to a major highway that has a speed limit of 65 mph. Well, who comes along but a cool looking guy his… green Mustang. He pulls into the lane next to me and waits for me to come alongside [...]

How Do We Put God First?
The way that we put God first in our lives is by putting God’s will and plans above our own. We must seek to honor God and live our lives in such a way that He will receive the glory. The place that God wants to be honored [...]

Idols in Our Lives
Most of us have very busy lives. We do this, and that, and this, and that, etc…. you get my point. Often times, however, we allow what we are doing to become too important. Entertainment is just one of the many things that we like doing; we may [...]
I Want It Back
