“Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45
Who marries a guy making $4 an hour? My wife, that's who! At least I know she didn't marry me for my money! The longer we’ve been together, the more convinced I am that God’s ways pay off, especially in marriage. One of my favorite sayings of Jesus is. “Wisdom is proved right by all... Continue Reading →
For 25 years I drove a UPS truck. That wasn’t my career plan. It was God’s plan. I joke that He gave me a “deliverance” ministry. Every Christmas season, UPS would give the drivers "runners" to dash packages to the houses while we stayed in the truck sorting. One Christmas, my runner was a young... Continue Reading →
One of my favorite miracle stories involved my wife Marci, or “Guppy” as the grandkids adoringly call her. Her story is almost unbelievable. While gardening one day, she noticed some of her flowers drooping. To solve the problem she drove garden stakes into the ground and tied the flowers to them. Two days later she... Continue Reading →

The great abolitionist Frederick Douglass had the wisdom to see through the devil’s disguise. He labeled the... Continue Reading →
I weighed 129 pounds in this 2020 photo due to a debilitating illness that baffled the doctors. After many tests, their only guess was, "We think you have bacteria in your heart growing on an old pacemaker wire that we are afraid to remove. You must take antibiotics for the rest of your life." Not... Continue Reading →
Back in the 80's Marci and I were blessed to be part of an amazing songwriting team. Some of our songs appeared on a Grammy nominated album. It was a fun and exciting season in our lives. One year we had the opportunity to collaborate with Marvel comics to write songs for an ABC television... Continue Reading →
Years ago, my wife and I were praying for a homeless woman we had befriended over the years. Because of her drug addiction, all six of her children had been taken from her and put in foster care. As we prayed, God began delivering her from evil spirits. Suddenly, all three of us could smell... Continue Reading →
If your home is your castle, my wife and I live in a castle made of metal. Previously a metal barn, we converted it into a barndominium, or "barndo" as some like to call it. During the building of the barndo the Lord often reminded me of a passage of scripture warning His children to... Continue Reading →
