5/24/11: I was sitting at the keyboard with my one year old grandson. He was playing and I was playing. Then he pushed one of those rhythm buttons on the keyboard, so I began playing a melody to fit with the rhythm. I told my grandson that I should write a song about him, and … Continue reading Child-Like Faith

Just Are You
“And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire—and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and … Continue reading Just Are You
A Still Small Voice
5/23/11: I was talking with the Lord about how quiet he was, and then the phrase, “a still small voice” came to mind. I remembered that God had spoken to Elijah in a “still small voice” or in a “gentle whisper” when Elijah was discouraged because of his powerful enemy who was coming against him, … Continue reading A Still Small Voice
Return to Me
Even though we, as believers in Jesus Christ, are underneath the New Covenant relationship between God and his people – his church – it is still possible for us to sin, and for us to wander away from our pure devotion to Jesus Christ as our only Lord and Savior, and for us to have … Continue reading Return to Me
Where is Jesus?

The Lord inspired me to write a song about all the things in … Continue reading Where is Jesus?

In That Day
5/21/11: I read Isaiah 12 for my quiet time with the Lord this morning. I learned that “That Day” refers to both the Day of our Salvation (deliverance) and to the Day of Judgment when Jesus Christ comes to judge the earth and its inhabitants. Here we see Christ Jesus as the Savior and deliverer, … Continue reading In That Day
Love Must Be Genuine
Love must be sincere, honest, truthful, and genuine, as opposed to being pretentious, disingenuous, fake or phony. True love, thus, speaks the truth in love and does not use false flattery, nor does it willfully deceive. In fact, it hates what is evil, mainly because of how evil destroys lives, homes, families, communities, church congregations … Continue reading Love Must Be Genuine
Thank You, Lord
"The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor … Continue reading Thank You, Lord
My Cry for Mercy
There are times in all of our lives when we feel particularly vulnerable, weak, tired, sad, confused, and hurt; and rejected and/or alone, etc. It is especially in these times when we need to call upon our Lord to save us from ourselves; and to give comfort, encouragement, counsel, direction, strength, joy; and miracles of … Continue reading My Cry for Mercy
