In the second part of our series on how problems precede fulfillment of a Divine promise in a believers life, let's have a look at the life of the greatest Prime-Minister of Biblical history, as a case in point... Prime-Minister... "Here comes the dreamer" hissed his...
Over the past 8 devotionals, we've been taking a close look at the story of Jesus and Peter walking on water; but this story is so concrete. The disciples were in the midst of a literal storm, and they were in a real boat. Our storms aren't the kind that would tip...
There are few people in this world as stuck in their ways as I am. If you want to see my usual carefree, happy-go-lucky spirit morphed into a ball of anxiety and stress, then simply mention the word "change." This has been particularly bad this winter. It seems that...
King Bryan, I wonder how many people know who King Bryan is? He is the king of the leprechauns. I happen to know that because I recently watched an old favorite Disney movie called "Darby O'Gill And The Little People". One fine day while chasing a rainbow, Darby...

"This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ." (Eph. 4:13) As I have gotten older one thing I have realized is that I really...
I was witness to two animal miracles this week. My mother's aging cat, Bonnie, was vomiting up yellow bile. When her brother had done the same thing some years ago, he was then diagnosed with liver cancer and he had to be put to sleep, so you can imagine the anguish...
There was a mist this morning when I first looked out the window. A major fog had rolled in, obscuring my vision of the yard... But wait. How could it be foggy? It was, according to the weathernetwork, -14 degrees C! Not exactly weather for the kind of fog I saw in my...
