We are living in a time of great change. Some of that change has been expected. For others, the change will be unimagined. It will be in dreams and visions where the Lord will reveal His will apart from a limited understanding that has been provided to us by our...
When SpaceX was launched to execute a rescue mission of two astronauts aboard the International Space Station, it was a remarkable launch to watch. Each spacecraft stage ignited in sequence as the rocket rose higher in the sky. The stages fell away after depleting...
In God’s Kingdom, the innocent pay for the guilty. Only then is restoration possible. Jesus modeled this for us when He offered Himself on the Cross on our behalf. One of the most beautiful and powerful stories of reconciliation occurred between Esau and Jacob. Esau...
Recently, a friend asked me what I thought of a document that was released regarding prophetic standards. The document was in response to some of the prophecies made during the recent Presidential election. I commented that I got a sense the document was a reaction to...
Yesterday, we said goodbye to an old walnut tree that has shaded our backyard for the last 20 years. It was the last remnant of an old orchard on the homestead property that makes up our neighborhood. Underneath the tree sat a table where many dinners and good...
I am not alone when I say the challenges faced during the last year have been painful on many fronts. The most painful of those challenges haven’t been the pandemic and its restrictions or the heated election cycle of 2020. Those events are just instigators. For me...
This morning, I was considering the subject of unrighteous judgment. This is that painful out-of-left-field kind of judgment that gets laid on us unrighteously. Sadly, it can come from those who know us and should know better. As I considered this painful subject, an...
There is a large sign along Interstate 5 at the northbound exit to Rogue River, Oregon. It is an ad for a casino. One line on the sign reads “just ten more songs”, indicating you only need to listen to ten more songs on your car radio before you arrive at the casino....

As the crow flies, we live about 50 miles from the 173rd Fighter Wing based in Klamath Falls, Oregon. This is where Air Force pilots train in F-15’s to support combat missions. Every so often a group of these jets will fly over the mountains and land at our local...
I listened to an interview with a crew member of a sailing vessel that claimed the record for the fastest sailboat crossing of the Atlantic Ocean. One section of the race put them in part of the ocean where icebergs were frequent. This course was especially harrowing...
Beta Testing is a process that tests user acceptance of a product before its launch date. A Beta Testing program allows those creating the product to evaluate how the product will perform and be accepted in the real world before its formal introduction. At this moment...
Whenever freedom is experienced, spiritually or culturally, its impact can never be reversed. At all costs and through any means available, freedom will be challenged by those desiring to remain in power because freedom in any form is the greatest threat to the lords...
When we lived in Europe most of our travel was by air or train. Sometimes we traveled by car and would drive through the Alps. Switzerland and Austria have some very long tunnels – several miles in length. Previous to our time in Europe, I had only passed through...
