SHOWER OF SPARKS
Posted in Spiritual on December 9, 2009 | 2 Comments »
A loud “pop” over our heads made all of us turn and look towards the top of the tall white pine tree. A shower of sparks was falling toward us from the high tree top which had been set afire by lightning during the previous night. Someone yelled, “Look out! Run! Watch your heads!” I [...]
JESUS AND BLISTERS

It’s been some time back that I was wondering about something. Do you suppose Jesus ever had a blister? Hold on now, don’t cut me off just yet. I would like you to think about several things for a few moments. Picture Jesus seated on a large rock, warming himself by a small fire on [...]
GOD AND SOURDOUGH BISCUITS

Have you ever wondered what God has in common with sourdough biscuits? Probably not! In fact, you are probably wondering why such a question would even be asked in the first place—God . . . . and sourdough biscuits? C’mon, now! Well, stick with me for a few moments and I think you’ll understand. It [...]

“His heart was so tired, after working hard over such a long period of time, it just did not want to go back to work.” It was several years ago that the young man on the phone was sharing with me about a mutual friend of ours who lay in a hospital, his life having [...]

I heard a friend share about an incident which occurred when he was in the military and stationed in Korea. He and a young Army buddy had an opportunity to leave their outpost and go into the city for the day. And to make it all the better they were able to use an old, [...]

This really was not my thing. Standing in a long line of people in front of the locked doors of a large department store, in the early-morning darkness, in the rain, and on a Thanksgiving Holiday to top it off! No. This really was not my thing! It all began when my brother, who [...]
HUCKLEBERRIES AND THE CREATOR
Posted in Hope, Outdoors, Spiritual on November 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Here in the Pacific Northwest we know about huckleberries, don’t we? They are those little, scrumptious, dark blue tongue-tantalizers which some people have a seemingly insatiable appetite for. If we happen to be out in the mountains when the huckleberries are “on,“ we may find ourselves stopping to pick them straight off the bush and [...]
THE “BIG BANG” THEORY IS PROVEN TRUE!

Crrrraaaaccck! My head jerked up off the pillow and my eyes snapped open as the tiny, glassed-in room was suddenly filled with a blinding light and an ear-shattering explosion of sound, followed by a deep rumble that lasted for several long seconds. Moments later, my heartbeat barely beginning to slow, it happened again. By now [...]
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT……

Matthew 11:28 Some years back, and several hundred miles from home, I left the greater part of civilization behind me and traveled to the mountains for a time of rest and respite. In the early morning hours, long before any sign of light was showing in the sky to the east, I awakened to [...]
