• Feeling Alone?

    October 6, 2024
    Life, Men, Women

    Feeling lonely right now? There is a good chance that you are and that’s ok. As I sat in the back of the church this morning I felt terribly alone and that may sound strange with a Sanctuary full of believers. But that was truth and I suspect I wasn’t the only one that was feeling the same. I think what happens is sometimes we are so concerned about putting on our “church” face that we forget that we are still humans and those issues that we face away from church are still there and that can make you feel lonely. I think that this can be especially true for us older folks.

    The reality is for us older folks we are dealing more and more with our own personal health issues and well as losing so many that we hold so dear to our hearts!

    However, there is hope and that comes from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for he is the only hope any of us truly have in life.

  • Hurricane Helene Proves One Truth

    October 4, 2024
    Faith, God, Men

    As many in the southeastern part of the United States suffer horribly from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and good people have lost everything they ever had one has to contemplate one fundamental question?

    What would happen in your life if something like that happened to you and your loved ones and you lost everything? Folks the truth is that can happen to us at any time. It may not be a physical hurricane, but it will happen in one form or another. The question is when plain and simple.

    The key thing is to plan ahead for when that hurricane hits and there is only one way to do that.

    Pray and keep your face buried in holy scriptures. Sounds simple but it’s not and never has been. You need to do this individually and with your family. Couples when it’s all said and done when that hurricane hits in your life the harsh reality is that you have each other and God Almighty! Many have a physical support ( but not all) that can be people of faith.

    Speaking from personal experience on more than one occasion it has just been me, my wife, and God Almighty.

    So there is a hurricane is coming in your life the question is are you ready for it to happen? If not you need to start as soon as possible because when it comes it’s not the time to try and figure out what you will do.!

  • Spiritual Loneliness Can Be Hard

    October 2, 2024
    God, Life

    Sometimes, it is just hard plain and simple in our spiritual journey. You read scripture and pray daily, and nothing seems to be happening. Honestly, that is how I have been feeling the last few days. I suspect part of it has been certain major life events but there seems to be more going on that I just don’t understand. So as I sit here alone on this October morning I wonder if today is the day that this all becomes clearer. All I know about my life is that the only thing that brings me pure joy and peace is talking about Jesus. Nothing else comes close.

  • Devastating News Can Happen At Anytime

    October 1, 2024
    Church, Faith, Men, Uncategorized

    As we go through our lives we have something nagging at us that we know we should do but never seem to have “time” for and then when we do find the “time” there is devasting news. That happened to me yesterday and this is not being shared for anyone to feel sorry for me. Because there is no need for that stuff. The woman has a terminal illness and they don’t give her much time. She was the love of my late father’s life, and I am grateful beyond words. Sure when I was told about it I “beat” myself over it as to why I hadn’t reached out sooner. Then again I was letting my personal emotional feelings stand in the way of what I know is true.

    “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”
    (Ecclesiastes 3:1, NIV)

    In verses 2-8, King Solomon presents multiple pairs of juxtaposing seasons. For instance:

    “a time to weep and a time to laugh,
     a time to mourn and a time to dance,”
    (Ecclesiastes 3:4, NIV)

    We will ever speak again? I have no idea. Will she spend eternity with Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for that one I have no doubt.

    So if you find yourself in a similar situation reach out because that very well may be God working in both of your lives which I know this to be true.
