I spent several hours over the past two weekends (as I do every spring) watching the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament a.k.a. “The Tourney” a.k.a. “March Madness” … and this thought hit me: imagine how C-R-A-Z-Y, how N-U-T-S-O we would all deem it to be if tip-off had been the first time one of those head […]
There are (at least) four things I say to the Lord Jesus (at least) every day: “I am in love with You.” (Because You first loved me.) “We love, because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19) “I am in awe of You.” (Because of Your manifold greatness.) “Oh, the depth of the riches both […]
I just ate some of the best, sweetest, juiciest cantaloupe melon. Sooooo good. (In taste…. and for you!) And you know what the key was, what yielded such a sweet, succulent result? After buying a few last week, I set them out on the ledge just inside my window for the past several days so […]
Around 90% of my posts start out being of the “Quick Thought” variety… but as I start to think and write about the Lord and the Bible and the Christian life, the post invariably expands (and expands, and expands 🙂 ) to the point that I have to remove “Quick Thought” from the title. Too […]
No. I wish! But no. I’m not a millionth of the man, not a thousandth of the thinker, not a hundredth of the heavyweight, not a little of the leader, not a scintilla of the saint Paul was. My friends, that’s not humility… as I often say, “It starts with an ‘h’ and ends with ‘ty’ […]

The main line, “When I call on Jesus, all things are possible,” is totally true, I can testify firsthand. And I’ll add a line of my own: (not to the […]
The conclusion come to in Romans 11:33-34 couldn’t be (crystal) clearer, that it’s impossible for mere mortal man, finite and fallen, to fathom why God does some of the things He does: “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!” […]
Actually, there are TWO ways, straight out of the Bible so this is totally true and I can attest firsthand that it really works! Way #1: Note what someone SAYS: “… the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart [i.e., mind].” (Matthew 12:34; Luke 6:45) Way #2: Note what someone DOES: “You will […]
The Christian says to Christ, “I am in awe of You.” Christ says to the Christians, “I am in all of you.” . Share this post with, well, EVERYONE! .
The coin is eternity, the life to come, in general and specifically the first moment of such. Even more specifically, what a person hears in that very first nanosecond. The SCARIEST thought in the universe: hearing “Depart from Me, I knew you not.” (Matthew 7:23) The GREATEST thought in the universe: hearing “Well done, thou […]
