Out Day and Age

We find ourselves in quite an unbelievable dilemma with our new national leader. I cannot bare to watch his town hall meetings even knowing that all questions will be softballs. It seems that the poor guy can't really put ten words together without saying, "Come on man!" or "I I I I" or "we we we we". 

How did we get to this place in our history? It has been a slow but seemingly sure process. We began to eliminate God from our schools and TV shows. We now wonder why our government is headed to the toilet. It is quite obvious that God is allowing us to have our own way. "Who really is in charge" seems to be the question of the day. 

Has God lost control? Definitely not the case. He is bringing judgment to our land. This doesn't need to be the end of the story for believers in Jesus Christ. Now is our time to share with people who want some answers. We may not be well received but that is what happened when Jesus was here, right. 

Live right, have input when you can. Protect your family and have a good answer for those who ask for a reason for the hope that you have.

Daughter and dog...

About six months ago we discovered that Ann was pregnant and were very excited for she and Jackson. We will have babies on this side and that of the Atlantic. We weren't prepared for that news and we we were even less prepared for the news that our little dog is pregnant. To date we have spent more on the dog than on Annie (don't tell her... Ann that is). Ann has yet to discover whether her baby is a boy or girl. Both ultrasound images were inconclusive. Though I did some further investigation of my own and was startled with what I found. to me it looks as if the baby is definitely a boy and has some resemblance from both sides of the family. Take a look for yourself and let me know what you think.

Urgent Prayer (part 2)

Does God ever give you a gut punch? He did that just a few days ago when I watched a missionary story from the other side of the world. It was short but poignant, and it punched me in the belly button and brought a few tears too. One thing that shook me was the final statement that the missionary made. He was questioning himself and said, I wonder if what I have done will make a difference. This question comes to a missionary's mind now and again as they ponder how vast God's world is and how tiny one’s work is. As I thought, and identified, with his sentiment, the Lord brought a verse to mind that I had used recently in a youth talk. It was this one in John 12:24, “ Very truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. ” When, in Matthew, the sower sowed his seed, it was the Word of God. Here in John, Jesus indicates that the seed is the life of the servant. Jesus talked of his comi...

God's Dental Plan

I don't know if you recall, but we began something that I dubbed "the teeth project" back in February, remember?  I described how God had guided me to the perfect dental institution and that the Christmas gifts you had sent would cover all expenses for Cida's new teeth. It seemed like the perfect story of God's provision and direction.  Here we are, eight months after our initial visit, and we are ALMOST done. What was to take eight weeks has dragged out to over eight months! So, did God guide me? If so, why has it taken so long for us to see the results? This can't be what God intended, can it?  If you have been a Christ believer for any time, you know that God's path isn't always the short one, nor does it always seem to make sense. We are all familiar with people who have suffered a lifetime of pain and anguish, only to die without firm answers as to why they had to walk that path. A lifetime of pain versus eight months of inconvenience is not a fai...
