COUNT IT ALL JOY

   When trouble comes our way, how do we react?  In one scripture we are told to count it all joy when we fall into divers temptations, and another one talks about being in heaviness through manifold temptations.  Well personally, I’ve never been tempted to go diving, but I know a thing or two about manifolds, because when I was rebuilding the engine on our motor home, I had fits getting the exhaust manifold back on.  Yeah I know, with about 8,000 comedians out of work this may not be a good time to try to be funny, right?  But God does not want us to be going around with long faces.  He wants His joy to be all over us, no matter what we are facing in life.  Continue Reading »

KICKING THE CAN

   The other day as I was listening to the news about the Federal Deficit, the realization came to me that the country would not be in this mess if our leaders would not have kept putting the problem off for another day.  It is like walking down the road, kicking a can, rather than picking it up and putting it in the trash can.  Many people are like that, they just keep kicking the can a little further down the road every day, hoping someone else will deal with the problem so they won’t have to.  This attitude not only destroys individuals, it destroys entire nations.
