When my glasses become smudged, I’m forced to read words through a haze. Many times I’ve taken them off my nose and used my shirt to wipe away the haze; however, it only creates a greater murkiness in which to navigate the letters upon the page. This is frustrating. Why doesn’t the shirt work? Shirts are…

More Than a Feeling
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalms 11:3 True faith is more than a feeling. Our feelings change but the foundation of our faith never changes. That’s not to say we can’t change our opinions, of course we can. I once believed drinking alcohol in any fashion was sin, but I no longer hold…
Death, On a Walk Through Psalms
We must see death to fully appreciate life. For in death there is no remembrance of You; In the grave who will give You thanks? Psalms 6:5 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going….
Sin…We All Do It
Psalms 6:1-2 Please, Lord, don’t punish me when you are angry; don’t discipline me when you are furious. 2 Have mercy on me, Lord, because I’m frail. Heal me, Lord, because my bones are shaking in terror! I sin everyday. I try not to sin and try to do good; but none-the-less, sin, in…
Meeting Trump Along the Way
I continue my walk through the book of Psalms. Imagine my surprise when I met one of the presidential candidates along the way! As soon as I read Psalms 5:9, Donald Trump came to mind.

Psalms 5:1-2 Give heed to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For to You I will pray. My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up. While spending time with God this morning, upon my bed, the…
Christian Meditation?
Psalms 5:1 I had a healthy fear of meditation. Growing up Independent Fundamental Christian I was taught to fear many things, one being meditation. I was taught to believe a transcendental state made the soul vulnerable to demonic possession. I was also taught it impossible for a “true Christian” to be demon possessed because their…
God is Listening
The Lord listens and heeds when I call to Him. Psalms 4:3 I am always his child and He is always my Father. My Prayer: Dear Lord, how comforting it is to know you’re only a whisper away. You invite us to come to you as little children…wide-eyed and filled with simple faith…knowing you love…
Daily Prayer
O sons of men, how long will my honor and glory be [turned into] shame? How long will you love worthless (vain, futile) things and seek deception and lies? Selah. [God] Psalms 4:2 Mankind in his/her greed rapes God’s creation every day. My Prayer: God, forgive us for destroying your beautiful world. Mankind stands guilty…
