THE Question
About a month ago, I decided to take two classes at the International House of Prayer (www.IHOP.org). One was a ten week course for men and the other was a six week class entitled Sacred Marriage which I participate in with Lucy. Projects and classes that have a distinct beginning and end appeal to me. [...]
The Indigent
It was winter and he was living outside. He was chilled to the bone even when the wind didn’t blow. The two women he loved most in his life, both lost the war against cancer. An only child, and now he was alone. He drank to forget but that didn’t help so he smoked crack [...]
Saturday in America
Walking through Richmond, I noticed a woman sitting on a low wall watching me approach. “Got any money?”, she asked with a shameless smile. “What do you want with money?, I replied. “Need to get a cup of coffee and something to eat.” I fumbled in my bag….DVD’s, phone, rock, a small bag of almonds [...]
Surely
“My mother died in 2005 and since that time it seems my siblings can’t get along with each other. My father is still with us and I want us to become close again but I don’t know what else to do.” Joanna was beginning to get emotional. Here we were on the street: a little [...]
Sloooooow and Eeeeassy
Speed is matter of perception. A hundred miles an hours is a fast clip for a car but is very slow for a commercial aircraft. Ten miles an hour is a pace that just might win a marathon but will finish dead last in a sprint. My perception is continually shifting when I think of [...]
Grumpy Almost Misses It
“Where are you going?” I was deep in thought and didn’t like the idea of being disturbed, plus I hadn’t been in the best of moods the last couple of days. Even though I was walking America for Christ, I didn’t greet Officer Benson with any of the joy of Jesus in my heart. We [...]
Pray With or For Someone Today
Ecclesiastes 1:9 tells us that there is nothing new under the sun. Thousands of years have passed since that was written and many “outside” things…clothes, architecture, modes of transportation… have changed….but people, well, we’re pretty much the way we were in the days of Solomon. As we travel, we have met people who have endured [...]
What If….
Throughout Scripture we are told that what we say has an impact on our lives. Speak sickness and lack and chances are you will have sickness and lack. Speak blessings and health and they manifest. Whatever we dwell on, we speak. Whatever we speak, we seem to support by our actions. Our actions, in turn, [...]
A Time For Every Season
Nothing works outs as planned. In a week’s time, we should have walked from Lynchburg to Charlottesville. Instead a week passed and we were still in Lynchburg! Our new friend, Haniel, was working on a new web site for us and needed us to be around for a few days. Getting about five miles to [...]
My! My! My! What a Wonderful Day!
As I approached, he got out of his compact car, walked toward me and gave me a great big hug. “I’ve been watching you walk since Danville and I just knew I had to stop and talk with you.” Danville was about a week ago and that translates into a good seventy miles of road [...]
