My wife and I took 36 hours this week to take in a couple of ballgames in Miami. Our Dodgers were playing the Marlins. Yes, we’re big fans. I enjoy everything about seeing a live baseball game. On this occasion, one thing in particular caught my attention. I asked myself, “Hmm, I wonder what happensContinue reading “It’s Friday . . . A Stunning Opportunity!”

It’s Friday . . . Let’s Enjoy Our Freedom
It’s Independence Day weekend. As Americans we value our freedom, don’t we? Our Nation has been founded on its virtues, and we instinctively recognize basic liberties that every human being should have. And slavery isn’t one of them. So when Scripture refers to us as servants, slaves, or any other term of subservience, it putsContinue reading “It’s Friday . . . Let’s Enjoy Our Freedom”
It’s Friday . . . Let His Rains Refresh Us
Moving from the Pacific coast of Southern California to the Atlantic coast of central Florida has caused me to say on several occasions (in a good way), “We’re not in Kansas anymore.” The change and relocation has been very healthy. One noticeable difference is the summer afternoon thunderstorms and rains that wash everything down andContinue reading “It’s Friday . . . Let His Rains Refresh Us”
It’s Friday . . . Just Like Our Father
The greatest gift my Father gave me, and my siblings was to introduce us to our Heavenly Father. I will forever be grateful to my Dad (and Mom) for such a priceless inheritance. On this Father’s Day weekend as we celebrate Fatherhood, it’s important to remember God The Father. The statement, “We’re all children ofContinue reading “It’s Friday . . . Just Like Our Father”
It’s Friday. . .Know The Heart Of Your King
We serve a God of promise. He says what He means and does what He says He will do. Always. Don’t you wish that was true in every “kingdom” or government; we’re all familiar with campaign exaggerations, broken promises, and spin-masters specializing in damage control. We’ve swallowed lies as truths and accepted failures as successes,Continue reading “It’s Friday. . .Know The Heart Of Your King”
It’s Friday…We’re Waiting For Something
This has been a year (18 months, really) of patient endurance, as I personally have been prayerfully waiting on The LORD to open a door to His promise. He has once again, come through in extraordinary ways. And this season has prompted me to revisit, in these past few days, the life of Caleb (ofContinue reading “It’s Friday…We’re Waiting For Something”
It’s Friday . . . Our Treasures Never End
I accepted the call to join a beautiful flock in Florida, to serve and serve alongside them as their Pastor. This is going to be a glorious experience. But this new adventure required my wife and I to literally relocate everything we own across the country. Making the laborious decision on which items to disposeContinue reading “It’s Friday . . . Our Treasures Never End”
It’s Friday…The Days Of The Unkingdom Are Numbered
It’s hard to watch the news these days, isn’t it? The unrest we are witnessing internationally, domestically – on our borders, in our nation’s major cities, and everywhere in between, remind us that it was never meant to be this way. There must be more than this, right? Yes, this isn’t what the Kingdom ofContinue reading “It’s Friday…The Days Of The Unkingdom Are Numbered”
It’s Friday…Run With An Eye For Nothing Less
Are you a runner? I used to be. Now, most days I just walk, and as I walk, I dream of running. And not just a couple of miles, but a marathon. Not just any marathon, but an Iron-Man type – which is a painfully enduring race of the survivalist, an agonizing variety. But thenContinue reading “It’s Friday…Run With An Eye For Nothing Less”
It’s Friday…And That Changes Everything
On this Mother’s Day weekend, I’m especially grateful for the two most important Moms in my life: my mother, Theresa – she gave birth to me, and put up with eight rascals (and still is in her right mind, amazing!), and the mother of my two kids, and wife-extraordinaire, Darcy. Their faithful and undying loveContinue reading “It’s Friday…And That Changes Everything”
