Where is this Jesus Fella? Where is Jesus? I don’t mean to say that flippantly, but where the hell is He? The son of God, one of the Big Three in the Holy Trinity, and while the world appears to be burning  collective minds to the ground, WHERETHEHELLISHE? Does he not see what is going on? Does He even care?      …there have been other seasons…. Over history, I guess, there have been other seasons where people have asked... Read more

…ON THE DOWNHILL SIDE OF WORLD WAR II Looking back on our roots, my mom was married, Jeannette Gardner, to a naval aviator, a Lieutenant by the name of Paul Benthin on the downhill side of World War Two. He died in a training mission over the Chocolate Mountains east of Phoenix, in the desert between Arizona and California. The oxygen wasn’t working in his plane and he basically went to sleep and winged his torpedo bomber with a crew... Read more

God is never caught off guard. He is never saying oops. He never looses us in the smoke and haze. He knows exactly where we are at in our lives and in our hearts. He realizes our pain, has it measured, and will use it to grow us. He never punishes and always corrects with love. Sometimes, it feels like the Hammer of Thor falling on us, but He has it measured. He will take us to the edge of the cliff and have us look in sometimes, but he holds our belt so we don’t fall in. Read more
