Here is the next chapter for those that are interested in what happens next, but if you haven't read "Under the Influence", stop now and read that blog entry first. Here is the link: Under the Influence
I cut this following chapter short here as i need to work on it.
The Revolutionary...
Another chapter. I had a good chuckle reading this chapter again, but no joke, this was a grievous time in my life where i was looking to connect with others intent on following Jesus. Unfortunately, i kept coming across stuff like this, although i use symbolism.
And not that I'm perfect...
The Law,
To Serve and Protect
(Another chapter)
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are...
Excerpt from a book i wrote awhile back. Going to make some minor adjustments and, will again, post online for free.
The Dance
The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."...
My last blog entry for the year.
May this holiday season find us in his infinite love and light.
And, a prayer for the New Year
Ephesians 3:
16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your...
The Progressive Journey
I often view this journey as a progression from me to you to we.
The me stage appears to be ok for an infant. They need attention, nourishment, and much milk. Our Heavenly Father makes more allowances for me in the infancy stage.
As we progress (and He expects us...
Dance of Fire
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” ~Jeremiah 18:1-2
I still remember it.
It was at a time when I had accomplished just about every goal I had set in life.
Then...
Going Deeper,
Addressing the Need Beyond Sin
Jesus replied, “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.” ~John 4:13-14...
The Cons and Pros of Caring of What Others Think of Us
When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is? ~Matthew 16:13
Should We Care What Others Think of Us?
Depends . . . Why does another’s opinion of us...
Do We Really Have a Choice?
Have you ever considered that question? The topic of choices is all over the bible. Others tell us love is a choice and we can choose to forgive. Unfortunately, we human beings have perpetually gravitated towards evil over good.
Do we really have...

Are Mars and Venus Really That Different?
Psalm 42:7-8
Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.
By day the LORD directs his love,
at night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my...
Adding this new piece here. The reference is the book of Romans.
----------
I have often said where believers disagree i mainly just see a problem with understanding where each piece fits into the larger picture of Christ.
My belief is that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus and what...
Say What?
Ever talk on the phone only to find that as the battery power gets low, or the further we are from the receiver, static interference makes it difficult to hear what the person on the other end is saying? That can be what our past associations are like. It is as if we each...
Cyber Wars
Of late I have been contemplating the deep-seeded and far-reaching effects of sin. Although it may be more visibly apparent in the outbreaks of plagues, violence, and war, my current distress is fueled from a source closer to home, my online experience. Viruses, Worms...
Knowing God
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. ~John 1:14
Awhile back I watched a movie featuring Helen Hunt, Mathew Broderick, and Colin Firth...
Is Faith Blind?
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. -2 Cor. 3:18
What is faith exactly? In Romans the Apostle Paul elaborates on the topic of faith...
