Yesterday on my walk I came upon a small creek that dries up during the summer until only scattered pools remain. As I stood there watching the shallow water move through the creek bed, I noticed small fish swimming through the current. They were not trapped yet, but I knew what was coming. In time,… Read more »

Cracks in the Foundation
For the last year I have tried to write a “Just Some Thoughts” every day. The purpose has never been to attack people or pretend my generation was perfect. These are simply observations from an older man looking at society today. Every generation changes from the one before it. My parents’ generation was different from… Read more »
Quiet Enough to Hear – Strong Enough to Follow
Romans 10:17 says, “So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.” Faith begins when God speaks, but faith becomes real when a person obeys what they have heard. Many people want God to show them the entire path before they move forward, but God often reveals only the next… Read more »
What the World Calls Freedom
Hebrews 12:1 NLT says, “Let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up.” Modern culture talks endlessly about freedom, but much of what the world now calls freedom is actually bondage. People are told to follow every desire, embrace every impulse, and reject anyone who… Read more »
Look Beneath the Surface

The Liberal Left’s Addiction to Blaming Trump

Why Jerusalem Matters
I was asked why Jerusalem is so important and why so many people have died fighting over it. The answer is much deeper than politics, land, or religion alone. Jerusalem is important because it is the city connected to the throne of God. The fight over Jerusalem has never truly been about land. It has… Read more »
The Left’s America Built on Sand
Since I am a builder, I understand something very clearly: no structure can stand for long if it is built on sand instead of a solid foundation. A building may look impressive from a distance. It may appear strong for a season. But if the foundation underneath it is weak, unstable, or poorly designed, eventually… Read more »
