Dear friends and family, Our daughter, Anna, has been nominated by a longtime friend and fellow author to be considered as the Poet Laureate of Oregon. This is a high honor. Last year, Anna was awarded the Oregon Book Award for her poetry. If you felt led to also...
Reading through the Old Testament, I am happy to have been born at this time in history. There was so much detail in the Old Testament expression of faith that was complicated, like the exact building details of the Tabernacle. However, in both Testaments, there was a...
In a dream, I saw a series of speakers that had been prepared and placed in our nation that would announce a false alarm. The plan was to create a diversion of our attention. The placement of the speakers was not happening only in the United States. I saw other...
Just a few days ago, I had an early childhood flashback. I remembered the sensation of being carried by my father when I was a small boy. The feeling was not just the joy of having my father hold me as he walked forward, it was the feeling of being free from the...
My first car was a 57 Chevy like the one in the picture. Same color. The only difference was mine had solid chrome wheels and moon hubcaps and a bit of rake in the rear. I bought mine for $500.00 in 1966. It had a 283 with a 4-barrel Holley carb and a Hurst 3-speed....
Early this morning, as I sat in my chair writing, I was playing the beautiful instrumental work titled Watermark. As the song surrounded me with its beauty my attention was drawn toward the front window of our living room that overlooks a timbered mountainside. Framed...
Last week a strange cat entered our backyard. Our cat is named Mister. He considers our backyard his domain and quickly scared the stuffing out of the trespassing cat sending it high up into the branches of a maple tree. Since the leaves were all gone, the only...
There are times when you have to make your intentions crystal clear. If not, hell will try to violate the borders of your life. A friend of mine lives in a very large and expensive home overlooking our valley. His paved driveway travels up a steep private driveway...
Real change, the kind of change that produces a sense of awe, is about to take place. What has transpired on the national stage can become a diversion if we do not see these events with the eyes of the Spirit. While it appears to some that God has made His most...
Paul spoke to the Corinthians about a third heaven – a place where the throne of God is located. That heaven is where you and I now sit in Christ at the right hand of the Father. A third heaven assumes the existence of a first and second heaven. The first heaven is...
This morning, as I lay in bed, I heard a knock. I knew it wasn’t a physical knock. It was a knock in the Spirit. It was very distinct and sounded like someone was knocking on the back door of our home. I asked the Lord to show me what He was saying. Immediately, I saw...
With the election now behind us, and the painful process of national healing set before us, I am taking time to review the prophetic words I released in the weeks leading up to November 8. To be honest, I had no idea who would win the race for the White House. I wish...
If you are carrying rocks of judgment with the intent to verbally stone a prophet for getting a word wrong, it is time to drop the rocks. Stoning is part of an expired covenant. Pray for those who tried their best to hear God and are now licking their wounds and...
Last week, I had a three-hour layover at the Chicago O’Hare Airport. During the wait, I used the time to schedule some appointments on my phone calendar, one being a conference call. After I scheduled the conference call my next flight was announced. I got up and...
I have learned that being prophetic is not limited to the prediction of a future event or a word of encouragement. It also includes the revelation of unseen pathways of hope that are often hidden beneath the intensity of human emotion. This morning both President...
