April dreamed recently our bed in our second floor bedroom was moved to the first floor. A bed in a dream means rest or intimacy. Prior to our move, but, after we received the invitation to move here, our sister-in-law told us she believed God told her we’d come here to rest. April dreamed twice…

Have Yourself a Joyful Christmas
One night, recently, we drove to Auburn to meet our daughter and bring her home after her last exam of the semester. We listened to Christmas music on CDs. The darkness coupled with the tears in my eyes made driving rather hazardous. Earlier, after April and I discussed my anger and depression getting the…
For You I Wait
Lead me in the truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long. — Psalm 25: 5 While I wait, I’ve thought about some things. It’s the Christian liturgical season of Advent. Advent means ‘coming.’ Many mainline churches and liturgically based denominations recognize the season…
Revisiting Ezekiel
April came into the room where I sat one day this week. She said she had a job interview scheduled for later in the week. We both rejoiced. Subsequently, as I listened to worship music from my laptop, I heard Brian Johnson from Bethel Church in Redding, CA sing spontaneously, “Where you see dry bones,…
A Facebook Lady & Zacchaeus
When you’re doing your best to stay alert for a hope-filled message or encouraging sign, you sometimes take a step in a direction you’re less inclined to do normally. I sought prayerful counsel from a stranger on Facebook. The page on which I asked for prayer and any encouragement from a prophetic sense has never…
Thank You for Meeting With Us
I haven’t shared much about my family of origin. I was and remain the youngest of three offspring born to my parents in Baltimore, MD. The one essential family occurrence every week was our attendance in Christian worship. The wheres and hows are unimportant, right now. Elementary to my life was attending worship. Denominationally, we…
Thank You for the Miracles
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. – Mark 1: 24, KJV Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. – Mark 11: 24, NIV That’s…
A Dream of School
I’ve heard it said God speaks to us in our dreams because God can’t get our attention when we’re awake. It appears our dream lives have changed. I shared on my previous post of a dream that restored hope in me. I’m not sure I could have received all that dream conveyed in my daylight…
I Dream of December
We’ve set our clocks back. Upon waking, there’s daylight slipping through our eyelids and bedroom windows. The chairs at our dinner tables are occupied for our evening meals together as dusk slips into evening across our country. Winter is around the corner with its festive holidays we mostly look forward to. Apart from our creative…
Thank You For My Life
Recently, I have thanked God for my life. This has not always been the case. Yes, thankful for my wife and children. Yes, thankful for my health and well being. Yes, thankful for the ways in which God has used me to be a blessing to many through ministries I’ve participated in or led, but…
