Burning The Candle At Both Ends

Did you know that if you’ve been burning the candle at both ends, simply going somewhere to STOP burning doesn’t replace what has been lost?  It doesn’t re-lengthen the candle.

Only goin to the Candle Maker and submitting to His hands will allow Him to remold, reshape, re-lengthen, and replace those ends.

Go to the Candle Maker.  He . . . → Read More: Burning The Candle At Both Ends

How Far Can You Reach?

Remember Monkey Bars when you were a kid?  How about those rings on chains?  And those igloo-shaped bar cages you could crawl all over?

The Bible says walk by faith and not by sight.  It says nobody should build something unless they count the cost, otherwise they could get half-way done and get stalled.  Yeah, that’ll look . . . → Read More: How Far Can You Reach?

Selah – It Means Stop And Think A Moment

I’m not going to dress up a pretty post and end it with Selah so that it sounds poetic and makes you think.  I hate that stuff when I read something thinking, “This isn’t very good,” and on top of that at the end they put a nice little bow on it to make it tidy.  . . . → Read More: Selah – It Means Stop And Think A Moment

I Wonder How Much Of This Is Real?

When I watch reality shows, when I listen to commentators, or when I see people interact, I wonder how much of it is scripted and how much of it comes from the heart.  By the way, just because it’s scripted doesn’t mean it’s not from the heart, but usually….

So if you stumble across this blog and . . . → Read More: I Wonder How Much Of This Is Real?

…Of The Rest Of Your Life

Today Is The First Day Of The Rest Of Your Life.  What a cliche, huh?   

Look at it from the point of view of a person who just won the bazillion dollar lottery, married the sweetest high school sweetheart in the world, and found out that wild idea to help regular cars get a hundred miles per . . . → Read More: …Of The Rest Of Your Life

I Don’t Feel A Day Older Than 44

Well, maybe exactly a day over 44.  Yesterday was my 45th.  Promise gave me a new backyard propane barbecue, then a surprise birthday barbecue at one of our member’s houses.  Well, Karen lined all that up.  What a wife!  And I got about a hundred Happy Birthday’s online.  Fun, huh?

I just had a flashback to Billy . . . → Read More: I Don’t Feel A Day Older Than 44

My Word Is My Bond

The bible says we shouldn’t have to put an oath to seal our words, but just let yes and no mean yes and no.  Do you mean it when you tell somebody something?  I try to be that way.  Of course everybody fails, like a dad who promises his kids to go to the movies, but . . . → Read More: My Word Is My Bond

Is Washing Dishes Really Spiritual?

Recently I heard a mom tell another kid’s dad that his son didn’t need to press very hard at baseball practice.  “It’s the off-season,” she said.  “You can push him during the Spring season.  It’s not like practicing NOW is going to make a difference THEN.”

Now, I’ve seen some really unbalanced dads in our Little League . . . → Read More: Is Washing Dishes Really Spiritual?

Billions and Billions Served

I’m old enough to remember McDonalds when they would change the number on their sign every once in a whilee from Millions and Millions served to 250 Million served to 300 Million served to 750 Million served to the day I noticed they said 1 Billion served!  It was a huge landmark for the restaurant chain.  Do . . . → Read More: Billions and Billions Served

Just Let It All Go

That’s what the colonel told Elvis, right?  “Just let it all go…”  Well, a year ago I bought a 21′ Victory Sloop.  I called it a sailboat when I picked it up, but the owner corrected me, informing me that it was a sailing yacht.  Hoo hoooo!  I’m a yacht owner!  But there were a few problems.
