Notes from a child of The King
I was curious most of my life about a scene that is described several times throughout the Gospels. It is a scene that usually is mentioned kind of in passing, like after a period of ministry with the multitudes of people and is scantily described something like this, 'and after this Jesus went up on … Continue reading Up on the Mountain to Pray
This is a picture that I have taken every year for the past 4 or 5 years. It is a sign for me. It is the day that I consider that spring is really here. There are always little new buds on the trees, a little bit of snow left where there were deep piles … Continue reading Signs
I think that to say that there are many ways that He speaks is an understatement. As noted earlier He has created each of us to be an individual and although there are similar ways of hearing Him we all have to find and live in the reality in which He created us. This is … Continue reading When He Speaks (Part 4)
A few days ago my attention was taken to the book of Hebrews where the writer takes on a scolding tone in their letter stating that those receiving the letter had become dull and all this explaining they were doing really should not have been necessary. The passage is this: Hebrews 5:11-14 Concerning him we … Continue reading When He Speaks (Part 3)

Dear Brothers and Sisters, I love this word! The word repent. This has not always been the case though because the word repent was not always used appropriately and was often spoken with a finger pointed in my direction. This is a very important word and an activity that, as followers of Jesus, we need … Continue reading Repent!
One of the things that used to be completely perplexing to me was what those around me called a calling. It was spoken of in ethereal tones and treated like something that could not quite be understood but you wanted to make sure you got it right and aligned your life with it so you … Continue reading The Calling of the Lord?
I have been taking stock of the things in my life that hold my attention. There are a number of them. It has been an amazing time and as I think back over the last 18 months I see many things coming about in my life that I have believed and asked God for for … Continue reading What I Really Want
While driving a while back I passed a sticker on a car that asked the apparently simple question, "Do you believe?" It was a brown sticker with white letters and I am not sure what it was asking me to believe, but it really didn't matter anyway because years ago over about a three day … Continue reading Do You Believe?
