Yesterday, after an entire week of vertigo, in which my main task was to keep myself and my head as immobilized as possible, was the first day I felt halfway like a human bean. That is not a misprint. I figure a “bean” is a step closer to “being”. “Being” is not something I felt much during the dizzy week. Vertigo seems to run in my family, an inner ear malfunction, maybe, so I figure to deal with it best as I can and pretend my head is in a vise. I had one “interesting” moment. I had just stood up and felt like I was easing...

Awhile ago I preached a message titled “I Am Healed.” Here are some highlights from that message: We have to be careful not to draw conclusions about the will of God based on bad experiences. Bad things happen all the time that God doesn’t desire. For example, in 2 PETER 3:9, the Apostle Peter says that it is God’s will that no one dies without first coming to salvation; yet unfortunately, unsaved people continue to die every day. The earthly reality of something doesn’t change God’s will. Most often something else is at work. As...

Out our way, boots are pretty common, especially if you ride a lot. I have some old boots that I have worn for years , but now, with old age and whatever, I find I can’t get the right boot on. What the hey? As we age and , while inside we are always the same, the rest of us changes. I am still in my late 20’s on the inside, still able to ride and work cattle, flirt with pretty girls, and get my boots on. But on the outside -none of that is true. Doc is gone,as is Charlie my Pard . Big Mike has sold off the herd and the “Tiger Ridge...

ACTS 5:1-11 5 But a man named Ananias, with the consent of his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property; 2 with his wife’s knowledge, he kept back some of the proceeds and brought only a part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 “Ananias,” Peter asked, “why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the proceeds of the land? 4 While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, were not the proceeds at your disposal? How is it that you have contrived this deed in your...

You know, Lord, heard little kids talking about how their Grandfather had visited and taught them how to pray. Same thing when we were little kids, Grandpa, who lived far away, paid us a visit. We were too young to remember much about him but one result of his visit is that we little children learned how to pray. Grandpa told us about heaven, that our Grandma was already there waiting for him first, and much later on, she’d be waiting for us. Our first little hesitant prayers were memorized table prayers of blessing, ‘thank you for the...
