I was told today to go find something to love.
That moment came when my seven year old told me he wanted to get “baptatized” and asked Jesus in his heart to save him. Honestly, what could compare to that for a father to know his son is secure in the grace of the Heavenly Father? One down, one more to go.

I'm going to free fall out into nothing.
I’m going to leave this world for a while.

Romans 12:9-18 HCSB
Love must be without hypocrisy. Detest evil; cling to what is good. Show family affection to one another with brotherly love. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lack diligence; be fervent in spirit; serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer. Share with the saints in their needs; pursue hospitality. Bless those who...

My house is my fortress. My boys are men in training. My living room is our dojo for learning Trent Kwan Do. Its a mixed martial art style that is unique in that it confuses the enemy with pillow throws to the face while you roll around on the carpet with your dog to bring your attackers to their knees. However this fighting art form may only last up through fifth grade and then we will switch...

1Take a deep breath, God; calm down—
don’t be so hasty with your punishing rod.
2Your sharp-pointed arrows of rebuke draw blood;
my backside smarts from your caning.
3I’ve lost twenty pounds in two months
because of your accusation.
My bones are brittle as dry sticks
because of my sin.
4I’m swamped by my bad behavior,
collapsed under gunnysacks of guilt.

Mankind, He has told you what is good and what it is the Lord requires of you:
to act justly, to love faithfulness, and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8 HCSB)
God is not interested in our religious or ceremonial recompense Ref vs 7
He has required 3 things
Or, He has shown us what is “tov” most inner beautiful ref Gen 1 “God saw that it was...

Proverbs 18:21 is a powerful verse. I’m sick of the way I hear people, actually Christian people talk and text today. Christians don’t cuss, right? Wrong. Except now we do it in code so its not so readily identifiable. To ‘cuss’ is to actually curse something with words. It is an act of verbal condemnation. Something the Bible forbids believers to do because vengeance...
I like making up quotes and then signing my name.

Pretty boss night
I came home in a very frustrated mood. Music is able to change all that though. That jive honky, Duston Ellis stopped by and it (music) just started happening. My fingers are raw but it was awesome. Guitar and cajon are a perfect accompaniment. But then add in a harmonica and you have musical burgoo that is just awesome. Tom Petty makes everything better as well…especially when Mandy is the...
