Looking back at the path the Lord has led me on, I have at times felt conflicted. I remember when he first started calling and developing me for ministry, I was very confused.

Defense Becomes the Offense
A little over three weeks ago, I twisted my ankle pretty severely moving. The timing was horrible.

Get the Net: A Parallel Life of Luke 5

“Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” Isaiah 1:18 NIV My God place is a trail that runs along a creek.

Proverbs 5 and a Trail Map Comparison
Proverbs 5:21-23 For your ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths. The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them; the cords of their sins hold them fast.

Proverbs 4:18-19 The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.

Accepting Prayers 24/7
In a small town in Kansas, a bank depository caught my eye. It was just one of the many historic downtown gems that I just had to take a picture of.
