Sunday Thoughts: Church Door Thumpers
Matthew 18:20 (NRSV) “For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” I am wondering why some people think that every time the church door opens that they have to walk through them. I have seen so many people who think that if they go to church then they…

Sunday Thoughts: Resolutions, sort of…
I usually do not make resolutions. I can never stick them out all year. I read once that it takes doing a thing for 30 days to make a habit. So this year I am going to try that, 30 days to make a habit. Then do it again the next month and the next.…

Sunday Thoughts: Where is God?
I have to wonder why people don’t believe in God. I can’t imagine not believing in God. How can a person look at this world and think nope, no God? It all just appeared from some big bang. (Not to be confused with the Big Bang Theory TV show that I love. Bazinga) To me…

Sunday Thoughts: Look for Forever
One of the strongest words in the English language is forever. Merriam Webster defines forever as a limitless time (as in He wants to live forever) or at all times, continually.

Sunday Thoughts: Struggling
I find myself questioning why things are not going the way I think they should or the way that seems like the best way. I need God to move in my life in a way that is specific, so I pray. I have been here before with God and I know that He always comes…

Sunday Thoughts: Who is God?
George Washington Carver once said, “Our creator is the same and never changes despite the names given Him by people here and in all parts of the world. Even if we gave Him no name at all, He would still be there.” I have never understood why people argue about who God is. It does…

Foundation of Belief
This past week I explained my foundation of belief so what does this have to do with my writing and my novels? I use this foundation, my life foundation, for all my stories and characters. I think all creative people use their values as a starting point for making art. The most authentic art comes…

Control
Life is simple really. It is just a matter of moments and decisions that get you from one moment to the next. Simple. No mystery about it. Just one moment then another and another. You decide what to do in the next moment. You can get brave and plan future moments, most of us do.…
