Giving It Away

Thursday, May 16, 2019

The Heavens Declare The Glory Of God

Saturday, January 14, 2017

Son Of The Highest

Sunday, December 11, 2016

Cafe Time

Monday, November 7, 2016

My daily walks include meeting people, and so it was one day, that I asked a lady if I could sit on the other side of an outdoor table at a cafe. After a brief silence, we engaged in conversation about how lovely the day was. We found … Read more

In The Light Of His Countenance

Saturday, March 5, 2016

Last year during Lent, a friend of mine who sometimes attends church complained that the pastor's sermons contained too much about God and Jesus and sin, and not enough that's "uplifting". Actually, I think I get that — because many of … Read more

Taming The Wild

Wednesday, March 4, 2015

Over the past few years, I have attended three live animal programs. These shows included presentations by air, land, and sea animals. I saw everything from camels to mice responding obediently to the voice of their trainers. One of my … Read more

A Vision Of Jesus

Sunday, January 11, 2015

There was a time when I turned my back on God. I denied His existence. He took my best friend — my father — even though I prayed that He'd heal and keep him on this earth. I was only nine then, but for many years, I wanted nothing to do … Read more

With Faith We Continue On

Wednesday, November 20, 2013

The Call

Friday, May 31, 2013

As a prison guard in a small town, I am always on call, so I keep a bag in the closet packed and ready to go. My shift may be short, or it could be quite long. It could be mid-day or midnight, so I make sure I have reading and writing … Read more

Here Am I, Send Me

Thursday, February 28, 2013

He Leads. I Follow

Wednesday, February 13, 2013

To The Ends Of The Earth

Sunday, November 18, 2012

When I was fourteen years old, a book fell off a shelf that I was dusting, hit me on the head, and landed face up, open on the exact date of my birthday. It was a birthday book, the kind with various words of inspiration or advice. The … Read more

Vision Of Glory

Monday, May 23, 2011

Most of us can remember specific times when something significant took place, especially occasions of unexpected blessing in our lives. This seems to be the case as the prophet Isaiah reflects back to a certain year, to an event that … Read more

Calling The Unworthy

Saturday, May 17, 2008

There's a beautiful song based upon this Bible verse which is called "Here I am, Lord." I love singing it in church. The first time that I heard it was in Scotland when a choir member at the Maybole Church … Read more

Here I Am

Sunday, February 20, 2005

More than twenty years ago, God impressed my heart with this verse, and I answered Him just like Isaiah did: "Here am I. Send me." I saw my future as prophet-like. Using my words, my books, and my speaking engagements, … Read more

Send Me

Friday, September 3, 2004

Here I Am, Lord

Monday, August 27, 2001

It has been a very long time — almost three years — since I have written for the Daily. I have been through a "spot of bother", have moved and have begun a new ministry with two new congregations. I … Read more

Wednesday, September 13, 2000

It amazes me whenever I stop and give serious thought to the people who were called by God to do the extraordinary tasks in the Bible. First, there come to mind the inner circle of Jesus' followers: Peter, James and … Read more

Without Cost

Wednesday, December 9, 1998

Our youngest child, who is 5 years old, has said for the last week, "I wonder what I'm getting for Christmas?" My reply is "I wonder too!". As she spoke those words, I thought, every child across the world is … Read more
