Wow.  Interesting day.  So today (as it happens what the Catholics call Maundy Thursday, Christ’s day in the garden of Gethsemene) was the day that I had purposed to apologize corporately to the flock and volunteers for my inappropriate political diatribe of last Thursday (see the last blog “My Bad… Really”).  I had gotten a […]

So today I have to out myself for a really stupid and inappropriate thing I did that did NOT reflect the Glory of God and undermined (somewhat) my credibility (to some people) as a witness and Servant of the most High God. On Thursdays, I give the Word and minister to the flock at a […]

Sometimes being a true Believer and walking follower of the Lord Jesus requires professional courage as well as personal commitment.  Today I came across an article posted on a professional Board on LinkedIn, a web site on which I have a strong professional presence as an Executive Recruiter.  I have never hidden my faith or […]

Today at Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission Noon lunch for our homeless friends, after I gave the Word, talking about Gideon, and how God’s people need to “go in this might” that we have in Christ Jesus, a wiry man I had not met before, came up to me and began asking pointed questions. […]

When I left off at the end of “The Power of Yes (Part One)”, I promised to continue the story of the internal journey that this servant went through in the very moment my friend Tony asked the question “Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the only living Son of God and that He […]

As today is the first day of the New Year, 2016, I am finding myself thinking about the first day of my new life in Christ, and the way that came about, back in May of 1995. It was the day that I said “yes” to a question that I had never been asked before, […]

About a year after I moved to Simi Valley, the Holy Spirit led me to a Men’s Bible Study at a large local church called Discovery Church.  As it happened, when I arrived the first Saturday, I was astounded to find that the place was packed to the rafters, about 45 men at 7 tables, […]

For those who may not know Simi Valley, California, it is a quiet bedroom community Northwest of Los Angeles, where many police, firemen (and women), FBI, DEA and other law enforcement types make their homes. It is also a community which happens to be one of the most prevalent centers of prescription opiate abuse and […]

Let me start this blog off, by saying that now that “Thanksgiving Day” 2015, is past and the leftovers are in the refrigerator to be scarfed, or not, at a future date, I find that I am more grateful than ever, for the work that the Lord has done in Christ Jesus and that He […]
