I have met many less than joyful and even sometimes mean and judgemental Christians over the years. They work religiously to be church people, study and recite their Bibles, and even make statements like “God is telling me”, or “God is telling me that you need to ….”, but they have really not experienced God.

In today’s devotional by Henry Blackaby he comments on Phil 4:8 and reminds us, according to God’s Word, we are we we think.
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and [...]

Today in Blackaby’s devotional he writes on one of Lisa and my favorite verses. We have had this passage hand written on a piece of paper on our refrigerator forever. Be anxious for nothing and pray “like crazy” for everything. We don’t always do it well but I am reminded of how important prayer [...]

Meanwhile, I thought I should send Epaphroditus back to you. He is a true brother, co-worker, and fellow soldier. And he was your messenger to help me in my need. Phil 2:25
Some times we don’t feel like being an Epaphroditus. Other times, more often than we think, we need more Epaphroditus’ in our lives.
Are you [...]

This coming Sunday is the first day of fall. Please pay no attention to today’s 95 degree temperature. Think cool. I have heard that in other places, in the USA, leaves start to change color this time of year. That’s right, change color.

This is my Friday e-note
Dear Friends,
I hope your week went well. In the DFW area we got a little feel of fall weather. It got down to the sixties at night. All I have to say about that is, “Are you ready for some football?” Although the cool mornings did give me some rough flashbacks [...]
