My favorite show of all time is 'The Office'. In one episode, Andy, the character who grew up in privilege says 'I've lived an easy life, okay'. Frankly so have I. There are things that have brought a little discomfort but it's generally from my own doing. I write about that easy street and how … Continue reading He Leads: Can You Tell Me How To Get To Easy Street?

When things or people get in our way we may have some choice words for them. We may even want to call them an a**.... For Balaam that is exactly what was in his path, his own donkey.

How does … Continue reading He Leads: You Have Arrived

WHEN THE REASONS ARE UNCLEAR, THE LORD REMAINS CLEAR. Psalm 86:11 gives us a good prayer for times the path is uncertain and reasons are far from us: Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.  When the road is unclear it's not our job … Continue reading He Leads: For Reasons Unclear

WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT JESUS? He was a prophet mighty in word and deeds, yet also God.  He was condemned to death by religious leaders.  He died and on the third day rose again.  He is our Rescuer.  We can say it has been years since His death, resurrection, and ascension into heaven, yet … Continue reading He Leads: He is my Favorite
