Fantasy World
Lately I have been seeing young boys and girls, Adult men and women, and even some elderly people walking around with their phone chasing imaginary animals. I have never seen anything like this. According to several reports, a man fell off a cliff while chasing this fantasy pet. A young boy broke into a home trying to chase this illusive animal. Still others cross into moving traffic while pursuing this creature. Since the birth of video games, minds have been…
Deceptions
Have you ever been deceived? It happened to a Pastor friend of mine while visiting Jerusalem. He loved to play chess.

The first day of the storm resulted in the water cresting around a foot from our front door. Our family thanked the Lord for His goodness. Our boys grabbed the kayaks and canoe to helped the neighbors evacuate from their homes. Throughout the day…
The Path
I haven’t kayaked in two years. It was time to get back in the saddle, and experience the joy of nature. It had rained the previous day, and the water level was higher than normal. As we traveled down the creek it was easy and exciting. Finally we stopped at the 3.5-mile mark to rest, drink water, eat some trail mix, then off we went. However, the return trip was a different adventure. It was easy to follow the flow,…
Jewel weed
Have you looked in the mirror lately? The sin rash starts very small. Then very quickly it begins to spread. But there is hope, Jewel weed! Jesus will stop the spread of the poison.
