The Power of Prayer

Last updated on: November 20, 2023 at 11:29 am By Mark Williams

What I have learned over decades is it is usually my prayer, when it doesn’t get answered the way I want it answered, it is me, and my timing, wording, heart intent, which caused the prayer to not be fulfilled. Read more

It’s Early

IT’S EARLY…. It’s early on a Sunday morning, one of my favorite times of life. It’s dark out and won’t have a viable sun for another hour or two-three if I’m lucky. And, of course, I am writing. I always have Pandora on and one of only a couple of favorite instrumentals is playing. ‘Through the Dark’ by Helen Jane Long. She wrote the other favorite as well-‘The Aviators.’ Her ‘channel opened me to other writers of music like Tolk... Read more

Things I Want to Do

THERE ARE THINGS… There are still a few things I want to do before I sign off. Now, don’t go getting all weird about me signing off. First of all, I’m fine. I’m actually the healthiest I’ve been in a long time. Sore, like I still take three steps to stand up kinda sore, but good otherwise. I’m use to the cicada buzzing in my ears and my urine is the right color. Nope, I was just thinking while driving... Read more

Joy…

IS IT JOY? I’m not sure where the ‘depth of soul’ comes from. You know the kind, the motivational alert where you reach, seemingly way down into your gut, which results in you doing things you didn’t think you were able to do-or even wanted to do. Maybe that is where the term ‘gut check’ comes from. I don’t know. I can listen…. Music sometimes does that for me. Instrumental music like that penned by David Tolk, or... Read more

Standing Firm

STANDING FIRM I was talking to a friend of mine a week or so ago and we circled back to some people we knew in high school and where are they now. I sometimes can’t remember my own name so remembering people from a half century ago seems like a waste of energy. But my friend can remember names, faces, birthdays, what they were known for and maybe who their History teacher was. And when we started to talk about... Read more

I Like Nice Things-

NICE THINGS I have come to realize I like nice things. No, not like a Ferrari or a Lexus. Have you ever ridden in a Ferrari? You sit low like you’re sitting on the street, traveling at 80 miles an hour in second gear from stop like to stop like. It’s like that roller coaster ride at Disneyland’s California Adventure. Who the hell wants that? No. I’m talking about a freshly made bed, jammy sleep-shorts, a cool night (please dear... Read more
