    Funny how life has a way of showing you what you’re made of.  When adversity hits, what you say you wouldn't do becomes easier to do.  When the rubber meets the road, yes! you do the unthinkable.  Let's say you have a house fire and on the second floor is your baby and mom. You can only save one, which would it be? I've heard many say they would grab the baby since mom has been around a long time. I couldn't say.  I'm not in that situation right now.  There's no way to know what to do until tragedy hits.  Some can handle atrocities, whereas; other have no clue how to maneuver suffering nor know why hardship occurs.  Stop trying to figure out why hardships happens--only the Father knows.  He won't  have you guessing long.      The underlining reason at the end of your trials gives away the mystery. Experiencing hardship isn't fun but you will come out with more insight than ever before....

It’s those times when you do the wrong thing for the right reason you get caught. Those moments catch you off guard. It almost happened to me. While going out the door, a thought came to me to take my gun. I figured after the boys’ baseball game, I would go to the gun range.   Here’s the deal, the baseball game was on base. The base has a strict rule about bring artillery on its grounds.   To ensure everyone adheres to the rule, security police checks cars as a preventive measures. Thus far, my car hasn’t been checked—yet. Satan whispered in my ear to take my gun with me. Security police won’t pull me over. Besides, it would take me 45 minutes to go back home to pick it up after the game. If I bring it, I can save gas and time. Now, just because that sound good in my head doesn’t mean the scene would play out that way. I felt like I was being setup. Someone else in the Bible was setup like this: Judas. What made him think betraying the Son of God was a good thing? It mu...

Remember days of old, where family style dining was popular. Everyone gather around the table on those special occasions holding hands and giving thanks to God for the family.  That scene reminds me of the television show, “The Waltons.”  A family of ten jelled together through misfortune, love, and hope around the kitchen table. I never experienced family style dining until I had children of my own. I love it! At dinnertime, we share our emotions, our wants, and our faults. We become one during our meal.          What would family style dining would be like if we brought a little Heaven to our table. Imagine elegantly set China place settings before each family member.  Everyone around the table all dressed up. A large centerpiece of roses in the middle of the table.  Can you see it?   Someone would begin by saying, “please pass me hope,” whereas another would ask for “mercy.”  “I’ll take a little...

There is something about rain. It is soothing. Therapists play relaxing sounds of rain during sessions. It calms the mind.  On my way to church,  a drizzle of rain hit my windshield.   The sky was dark and gloomy.  I noticed above the clouds the sun shining regardless of its surroundings.   Troubles in your life mimics the dark clouds and the sun represents the Son of God shining in your life (2 Samuel 23:4).   The Old Testament speaks of rain in the aspect that God gives and withholds rain, which is a sign of God’s favor or disfavor: Joel 2:23; Job 29:23; Jerm 3:3. Who tips the water-jars of Heaven (Job 38:37)?   Who gives the rain in it season (Jeremiah 5:24)? Who sends an abundance of rain when needed (Psalm 68:9)?   It’s not just the presence and absence of rain that’s important but the timing. God provides what you need at the right time: Rain teaches us: ·        Wait for the Father to fight your...

You could be in the middle of a bleak situation and it appears there’s no hope. Dump the thought! This is from the devil. He wants to you lose faith because he knows the truth. That truth is that God will take care of you. Satan also knows that you can’t please God if you have no faith (Hebrews 11:6). In case you don’t know what faith is, it’s what you want, but you don’t see it. Because you don’t see it doesn’t make it not real. You don’t see your pay check until you’re paid. Does that mean you stop believing you will get one at the end of the week? If you didn't believe you would get paid, you would ask for your pay upfront.       There was a couple in the bible had a temporary faith amnesia. Abraham and Sarah thought since they were old, they wouldn’t have a child of their own. So Sarah sends her husband in with a pretty maiden to conceive a child. When it was all said and done, they created a problem that could have been avoid if they keep ...

Heaven’s hotline is available day or night.  Never worry about the line going dead, disconnected or even fear an operator saying, “Please hold.” God answers all His calls. How do you get connected? I’m glad you asked. You received your telephone number the day of your new birth. The cost of installation was Jesus’ blood on the Cross. Your name was entered on God's speed dial. There you have it, no number to memorize and no dial tone to achieve; the call connects instantly when you say the code words “o ur Father .”            You don’t have to worry that someone is listening or be concerned with how to phrase your sentences. The receiver knew you before you were formed. ( Jeremiah 1:5 ). In fact, you do not have to explain your reason for calling. God wants you to talk to him.         Did you know that an angel stands before God day and night offering up your prayers as incenses b...

Bruno Mars wrote a song entitled, “That’s What I Like.”    He goes on to sing, “jewelry shining so bright, Lucky for you, that's what I like.”   You know what? That what I like.  You like jewelry don't you?  I know where we can find some.  Heaven! Keep that place in your view finder.  That's a goal to be achieved. Revelations describes parts of Heaven and it's jewelry items. Revelations 21:21 says, “…the street of the city is pure gold, as it were transparent glass.” Oh baby! Think about it! There are people alive killing for gold. Many have tried robbing banks for it.  We get to walk on it. That’s what I like. I like that God’s people will be celebrities in Heaven, having crowns on their heads like Queen Elizabeth. You know what else will be an awesome site in Heaven, the gates to the city is make of pearls! I wonder if that door is heavy.  I'm having a ladder, screw driver...
