In the 1993 comedy film Cool Runnings, timid bobsledder, Junior, is asked by his teammate, “Look in the mirror, and tell me what you see!" Junior responds, “I see Junior.” Wanting to build the young man’s confidence, the teammate says, "You see Junior? Well, let me tell you what I see. I see pride! I... Continue Reading →
Did God Really Say?
Unbelievable as it sounds, a woman hired someone to pour drain cleaner in her eyes to fulfill her lifelong desire to be disabled. I’ve often said, “Nothing surprises me anymore.” Boy I was wrong! This mental disorder is called transableism—the desire to acquire a disability through choice rather than happenstance. Some folks even desire to... Continue Reading →
Let the Little Children Come!
We were asked to teach a music appreciation class for some elementary and middle schoolers. Our grandson Hudson joined us. We had so much fun! One little boy came up afterwards and said, "Could you come to my house and play music? And bring your grandson!" Children are so precious to God. Jesus said, “Let... Continue Reading →
Who Gave You the Authority?
Get this! We have a former marine running for governor of Colorado. He rescues women and children in crisis, and at times has helped free those battling demonic oppression. Candace Owens recently interviewed Victor Marx on her podcast. At one point, she said, “I'm Catholic, so the idea of you not being a priest and... Continue Reading →
Living Unattached
Our dear friend Kristy is crazy about Jesus! She’s currently in a country where persecution of Christians is intense—telling natives about Jesus. Kristy is single. Society sometimes refers to single people as unattached. Being unattached can give a person more freedom to go and do as they please. In a real sense, God wants us... Continue Reading →

A Doozy of a Surgery
Look at all those wires screwed into my heart! These wires from my defibrillator are old and faulty so they need extracting. My doc says it’s going to be risky because heart tissue has grown around them. Thankfully, the surgeon is making me his only patient that day so he can focus on what he... Continue Reading →
Marx Madness
No man’s teachings have led to the deaths of more people than Karl Marx. What baffles me is how popular his beliefs are today. Why is that? You may ask, "Walt, why are you writing about Karl Marx? I thought your Heartspills were all about magnifying Christ." Telling others about the staggering beauty of Jesus... Continue Reading →
The Hardest Thing to Grasp
If God knew before He created us the agony Christ would have to suffer to save us, why not come up with a pain-free plan instead? Possibly the hardest verse in the Bible for me to grasp is Isaiah 53:10: “It was the Lord’s will to crush Him and cause Him to suffer.” Some... Continue Reading →
Love, New Testament Style
Shortly before he died, a pastor told me that for most of his life he didn’t love the people he pastored. He felt his main calling was to teach them the Bible. Thankfully, the Lord taught him how to love others by opening his eyes to how incredibly loved he was by Christ. With newfound... Continue Reading →
