Written in 2003, this is among my favorite poems. The meaning of this poem to me is very personal and difficult to express in words. Please leave a note if it touches you as well. Haven’t I Told You? 2003 I beseeched the Lord in prayer one time, “I am...

This poem was one of my early attempts at poetry. Written in May of 1999, it is not what I consider my best work, but I like it. Feel free to comment and let me know if you like it or not. An Easter Story May 1, 1999 Darkness…Stillness..A void, without form....

Who among us is perfect? I can answer that for you…NONE of us! Who among us really TRIES to live a sinless life? I know that, at least for me, I try, though I fail often. I know that although Jesus loves me more than I can ever understand, he must be...

I have neglected to write here for quite a while. It’s been a month since I took the time to post anything at all. Over the past month or so, I’ve been quite busy. I have been out of town and will be out of town even more over the coming few months....

What is truth? Is there such a thing as absolute truth or is every “truth” relative to perspective or some other factor? What is it that defines what is truth? In this post, I will talk a little about truth and opinion. I really expect that this article...

Back in March of 2013, before I had created this blog, I wrote a rather long post about some things that WILL come to pass before Christ returns to take us home. This post is written primarily to and for Christians, but it got quite a bit of feedback from a couple of...
