My Response to Silence 


I thought of this while watching a second hand on a clock.

There's a place in space
A beat between the beats
A moment in between the seconds
The sound between the chords when time stands still
Just before the mark and the hand meets
The distance between East and West
Where one crosses the other
Where one point ends and another point  begins
The thin line between subconcious and sleep
Where thoughts merge, Are you awake? Un-thoughts creep
Can't remember what I was thinking but I was thinking nevertheless
Well it'll…

Think of Others 

Hmmmm. Think of this. While you are working hard to help others achieve or overcome. While you're helping others lift their heads and lending a shoulder to their burdens. God is working behind the scenes on your behalf. And just when you're ready to throw in the towel and quit...God sends...God gives... God opens... God provides... God Is... 

Trust God 

 

Faith can move mountains

Faith can heal disease

My God can do anything if you believe

He will be a shelter in your time of storm

He can give you peace of mind and

Keep you from harm

If you have faith in God

Healing Music 

        I've had the most humbling experience lately. I was told by different individuals, who have no knowledge of each other, that the music that God creates through me... heals. My first thought was; yeah...right. Then I remembered young David in the scriptures.

 The young David was called to soothe Saul with music (1 Sam 16:16-23).

16 Let us find a good musician to play the harp whenever the tormenting spirit troubles you. He will play soothing music, and you will soon be well again.”

 23 And

Words 

Be careful of the words you speak (or write) because afterwards you can't take them back...like it or not they will accomplish your original intent. It's like trying to snatch the music out of the air after it has been played.Sweet and bitter waters can not come out of the same fountain at the same time.

My Miracle, My Testimony 

For the ones who want the short version; God answers prayers and I’m still here.

For those who want the full account… here it is. It took about three years to retrieve the entire memory of that day’s activity but it all is crystal clear now.

Wednesday, May 26, 1971. This day will go down in the books as a day God showed himself again mighty to save and deliver. It was during the final exam week at the end of my sophomore year. I had a break before my next test on Thursday. My dad had some painting work…

Majoring In Minor Things 

While I was in college meeting someone for the first time or even now talking to college students, the question always comes up."What's your major?". The idea of this is to get to know people better and learn of their interests and goals. Sometimes they had a minor. Sort of a back-up to pursue but it did not get the full attention of the major.

Now that I'm older and life has taught me a tremendous amount of lessons. I have come to realize that many things that we fret over, worry about, or are overly…

Quote to Ponder 

  I got this quote from somewhere and it's blessing me.   "Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket -- keep it
in your own."

The Look of Love 

When we were younger, getting into trouble, Mom had a look that said a multitude of words although sometimes she didn't say anything. However, when everything was over, we knew that Mom loved us. 

Now I wonder... what look did the Father  give to Jesus just before He said "Father... forgive them for they know not what they do" or the look the Son gave His  Father when He said "It's finished "?.

What kind of look are we getting now??

The Power Of One
