I’m awaiting the arrival of our Small Covenant Group which meets in our home on Wednesday afternoons. It is a joy for us to welcome them here each week. Our home is dedicated to the Lord to be a house of prayer and of music. We enjoy visiting with friends, old and new, and with this group in particular. We worship together, pray together, do life together, study the Bible together, and enjoy our fellowship. Each of these dear ones…..

This is a special date on my family’s calendar: my mom’s birthday (1917-1997). Today she celebrates in the beauty and grandeur of heaven, with the angels she so tenderly loved when on earth. Let me tell you about her. She came from humble beginnings, neglected and unloved in the back roads of Texas. She wore cardboard in her shoes, hand-me-downs from distant relatives, and was raised by an adoring but unskilled grandmother. She began high school at 18, when other…..

On this momentous day, when the Inauguration occurs and we celebrate the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, it is a chance to consider the role of greatness. How does history define the greatness of a person? Is it his accomplishments? Surely yes. Is it his character? Hopefully yes. Is it the times who make the man/woman great, or does the person define the times?

I contend that often, the person does not set out to become famous, or even…..

In my book, Deirdre, as a new Christian, had this philosophy for her new life. Can we afford to do anything less, since we are responding to the love of Jesus?

“with single-mindedness, she read widely, discussed passionately, and questioned intently…she had a sense of purpose which drove each day to begin, continue and end in prayer for guidance and understanding, and each hour she grew in wisdom, compassion, and resultion to live as Christ directed.”

As part of the discussion of End Times in my book, It’s a God Thing!, I’ve included ideas about the Revelation prediction of the importance of 666. Obviously, the book is fiction, but Deirdre, a new Christian, is dealing with regulations proposed by the government. On this day when our President is officially sworn in, I include this for you to ponder, as one of the possibilities the devil roaming about, seeking whom he may devour, can subtlely get Christians…..

On this official inauguration day, and Martin Luther King Day, and the Sabbath of our Lord, rest on this thought:

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in his commands. Psalms 11-112

Let’s talk about ownership. Do you struggle with “too much stuff–too much clutter?” There are organizational experts who build business plans on helping people cull their possessions, downsize, or manage their space because things get so out of control. There are hoarders. We joke about those who think that those die best who possess the most stuff or have the best toys. We build edifices to excess–bigger and bigger houses to showcase more and more stuff– until it’s time to…..
