In the movie, Forest Gump, Tom Hanks plays the character "Forest Gump," to cut a long story short... Forest just loves running; he was really good at it. He just ran and ran and ran. Looking back over the first quarter of 2012 I have been a bit like Forest Gump...Running and running and running. It's been great! But now In the movie, Forest Gump, Tom Hanks plays the character "...read moreThe Ultimate Treasure Hunt

I sit here in my study today with a real sense of sadness in my heart. I have been at the receiving end of some really bad news which has shocked me and my wife and many who are hearing the news that we have heard. That is that a friend of ours, and a co – worker in the Gospel has taken her life by OD’ing over the weekend. Anne was our friends name and though I haven’t sp...read moreAbundant rain!

Today I enjoyed some of the fruits of being a Dad and husband who works from home. There are many privileges for someone like me, it’s that quick ‘good bye’ or ‘hello’ I can give my wife and children. It’s the odd tea or coffee brought to me by my wife or vice versa. The pros greatly outweigh the cons. In order for this to really work you have to also be disciplined...read moreHis Name Shall be Levi!

God's Big Life is a phrase that has stood out to me in a book that I am reading (very slowly - I wish I were quicker but I ain't) called "John G. Lake." In fact Jesus was the inventor of such a phrase or statement, in John 10:10 He said that to those that are His children He "came that they may have life and have it (life) abundantly." What a statement! Jesus came with the purp...read moreAppreciating God

In a letter from John G.

They had so much more appreciation for order and system in the work than they had of God and His presence and power. You could not make them understand that they were organisin...read moreHey Oxygen Lifers

This past Thursday I had a headache the whole day, it was as if the right side of my head was pressured by something. Steve prayed for me that night before going to sleep and it got slightly better. However, the headache didn't go away the whole night and I didn't sleep well. I woke up still with the same headache on Friday morning. Sometime during the morning I was in the middle of doing something and I couldn't handle the headache anymore! I laid my hand on my head and neck and prayed for God's healing. I wasn't healed right then so I went back to do what I was doing. Without thinking about it, in about half an hour I realized that my headache was gone completely!! Thank You Lord for healing my headache!!! :)
