The world is a mighty big place, but when we run into someone while traveling and they happen to be from our hometown or near where we live, whether we know them or not there is a connection. I can’t tell you how many times I have said, “Small world,” to someone who I was […]

So, I was what you might call a party animal in my BC (before Christ) Days. I am not proud of this, but I was doing keg stands and passing out in strange places long before my fraternity days in college. By the time I got to college, I had already damaged my character and […]

Daily Distinctives, February 23, 2018 – Rainbow Rising

If you have followed my devotional for any length of time you probably know that I often make references to some of my favorite music bands. Growing up, my best friend, Alex Zotos and I had the wonderful privilege of sharing an older brother. It was Alex’s biological brother, but mine by association. Andy, Alex’s […]

So, yesterday’s surgery was good from what I gather. The anesthetics were injected just before they rolled me out the door. I did not get past the door before I was out like a light. Next thing I know I woke up in the recovery room. I felt a little groggy but was coherent enough […]

Today was one of those days that the old adage which goes, “when it rains it pours” could not be any truer. I had surgery scheduled this morning and was supposed to be there at 5:30 AM. I did not wake up until 6:00. I went through the surgery and made it home to discover […]

I really love going through the Bible and asking probing questions as I go along. Many times I find the answers to my questions in subsequent pages. Some of the questions that I ask, I already know the answers to but pose them for the sake of my reading audience to generate thought. But as […]

In my last devotional, we read, “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” Demonic angels had apparently polluted the human bloodline and the world was on a date with death, judged and found wanting, the LORD would destroy that which He created. Mankind made its choice and chose to follow after darkness rather than […]

In my devotional today, I come across something which for me is arguably one of the most perplexing historical accounts in the Bible. Not because of the content, which boasts elements that one might find in mythology and children’s tales, though I gladly accept as divinely inspired, but perplexing because of the interpretations that are [...

So we come to Genesis chapter 5 and while it is not the most exciting read it is an important read none the less. If God put it in the Bible there is significance to us and to our lives. But how do you find any significance or application in a chapter that is made […]

When I was a younger Christian I was appalled at the things that I read in the Bible. I would read certain accounts and look down my nose at the characters I saw in the Bible that did these crazy things as if I had known no sin. Perhaps, it was because I was hyper-zealous […]

I am to the point in my walk that I look forward to opportunities to get into fellowship with other brothers and fellow Christians. On Saturday, I look forward to church on Sunday; on Sunday, I look forward to Tuesday’s men’s group; Tuesday I look forward to Wednesday morning coffee with my pastor; on Wednesday […]

If you were to ask me what the saddest verses in the Bible are, I would have to say the 24 verses found in Genesis 3:1-24. We just finish this amazing account of God’s creation and the joining of the first man and woman. But, in the very next chapter, we find it all crashing […]

Another adventurous day today! A dear brother in Christ and I made a road trip from Houston to San Antonio, Texas to visit one of my cousins who landed in the ICU this past week. We got to visit and enjoyed some fellowship and laughter, as my cousin has a wonderful way of bringing humor […]

Growing up, my best friend Alex and I had the wonderful privilege of access to his older brother Andy’s record collection. We cut our teeth on many of the classic rock bands of the day ranging from Sabbath to Triumph, Montrose, the Beatles, Rainbow and so much more. One the albums we would frequently play […]

Sometimes, if you are like me, you pray that week would just hurry up and finish. The reality is that by Wednesday (hump day) we are already spent from the preceding days. My old pastor used to say that is why we do a mid-week service. It is like you fill up your spiritual tank […]

The sixth day of creation seemed like it was the busiest day of the week for God as so much happened in the Genesis account of this day. As it turns out, this is likely going to be the busiest day of my week too. So much going on with the busyness of life, family […]

The fifth day would probably be the one day of all creation that my son Jacob would favor the most. Every time I go out to my garage and see the corner of my garage covered from floor to ceiling with his fishing gear, I smile and think about the boy who is rapidly becoming a […]

Growing up I listened to what they called, “Hair Bands.” These were heavy metal bands that renowned for their screaming guitars, loud drums, crazy stage antics and most importantly their big hair. As time progressed, the grunge scene became popular, and an evolution in music changed “Hair Bands” into what I called “Hur...
