Overflowing Joy

10,000 Reasons? Way too FEW!

"Bless the Lord, oh my soul... oh, my soul!  Worship His holy name!  Sing like never before, oh, my soul!  Worship His holy name!" Oh, my soul... Two hours of worshiping You, Lord.  With Chris Tomlin leading the way. Not in some stadium, with tens of thousands of people.  No... In a more intimate performing...

The Blessing of Threes

Three "must win" states that couldn't possibly be won by a particular Presidential Candidate.  Three states that couldn't possibly be lost by the other Candidate. The votes are cast.  The unlikely one is chosen.  The Nation takes a turn... hopefully. "Pray... for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet...

Daddy to The Rescue!

It was just yesterday that my Forever Sister and I were rejoicing with You, Lord.  You have done an amazing -- yes, even miraculous -- thing in her life since we began to walk together in Your Presence.

Praying For Prison Breaks!

"What are you looking at?" my friend exclaimed.  "An answer to prayer!!!" I had passed that house countless times on the way to and from Charlottesville.  It was located at a busy intersection.  A great place with a lot of visibility and easy access for drive-in clientele.

Micro-Miracles!

No one can deny a "Macro-Miracle" like the parting of the Red Sea, Lord. When Your people were on the verge of destruction.  Backed up against an impenetrable barrier -- the Red Sea -- with the Egyptian army bearing down on them.  Until You penetrated what was otherwise impenetrable.  And they moved across on dry...

Making the Crooked Straight

Artistic asymmetry is one thing.  Having things not perfectly aligned can give a photograph or a painting real visual interest.  Beauty of another kind. Not the same with teeth. My lower teeth have been misaligned for decades... severely so.  Or, at least, that's how it's beginning to seem to me. I inherited this from my...

What Is It Worth???

Funny how the mind wanders when I'm fishing, Lord... especially when I'm also catching!   :) Like today... A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. A worm in the can is worth two in the land. A fish in the pan is worth two in the lake. A shell in the...

My God Who… !!!

My God who Amazes me! The moon is full.  Lighting tonight's clear sky like a Beacon in the darkness. "Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth below..."  (1 Kings 8:23) My God who Adopts me! Our "pack" is back together tonight.  Our adopted "pup cat" -- Skippy...

Then came home.  Shifted gears.  Now preparing for two-day business meeting.  Starts TOMORROW! Another presentation to make.  Counsel to give.  Counsel to receive. And I NEED SOME...
