Coming Soon! Daniel Fast 2014
Get ready, kiddies! The blog will be getting steady updates soon as my congregation, Pleasant Valley Assembly of God, gets ready to begin our annual Daniel Fast. I expect blessings, miracles and divine wisdom to flow as it did last year. I will also be experimenting with new Daniel Fast recipes that I will post. […]
Daniel Fast Vegetable Broth
The first chapter of the book of Daniel tells the tale of Daniel and his three friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, along with many young men of noble birth from the sons of Israel and Babylon, selected to serve before Babylonian king, Nebuchannezar. The young men, selected for their looks and wisdom, were to be […]
Take-Out @ Home Coming Soon
I know it has been some time since my last post. Life has suddenly gotten much more complicated and busy, both of which are good things because I needed to get busy and face complication. Haha, really. The Word of God says, in the first chapter of James’ epistle: 2 My brethren, count it all joy […]
He Still Loves Me
He Still Loves Me In 2003, the movie, The Fighting Temptations, starring Cuba Gooding Jr and Beyonce was released. It told the story of a struggling choir that made it big in the end. Members from the old R&B group, the Ojays, were in it, along with Christian rapper, T-Bone, Rue McClannahan, Melba Moore, […]
For Those Times When You NEED to Take the Creeps Down!
Oh yes! It’s been one of those weeks. It seems that people are doing their best to destroy my family and this anti-gun dude wants to take up arms! But then God gives this to me, and I turn like a little kid ready to kick a can! For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, […]

Grace in the Midst of the Storm
It is amazing to see the swiftness of God’s movement when His people finally release their control to Him. While my family is still in the midst of crisis, God has been dealing with us, showing His love for each one of us. The men out there understand my need to fix the things in […]
Unconventional Me
I have never been what one might call a conventional born-again Christian. I enjoy a good vampire story, I love hard rock music (I’m not just talking about the Christian variety), and I don’t have a problem going to a club to hear a good band play. Heck, in my younger days, I was one […]
TRUSTING GOD
When I was a little boy, I remember saying my prayers with my parents every night. I still remember it and taught it to my son: Now I lay me down to sleep; I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to […]
Good Times A-Comin’!
I haven’t posted in a while as my family is going through difficult trials. These are trials my wife nor I ever dreamed we would have to face, yet face them we do, believing that Creator of the Universe will pull us all through, for what is too difficult for Him? The oddest […]
