  • Dominican Republic Mission Trip – Day 7

    Today was a shorter day, but still full. We are all pretty tired, so a little less strenuous effort was welcome. After some real spiritual oppression and demonic dreams had by some of our team members, we spent a good part of the evening praying and planning for today. When we arrived, we met wtih Continue reading

  • Dominican Republic Mission Trip – Day Six

    Last night we got some rain, so I did not have the chance to log on and blog … so this will of necessity be brief. The work went along very well. We can come to a stopping point on Pastor Alberto’s house that will not disrupt his family life for the next two weeks Continue reading

  • Dominican Mission Trip – Day 5

    I begin with a confession. I have been misspelling “Batey” all week. For those who didn’t notice, “Batey” is not spelled “Batay.” Oh, well, if that’s the worst I do, I shouldn’t complain. This will be short since I am tired. We finished the trusses today for the church roof. The ladies are almost finished Continue reading

  • Dominican Republic Mission Trip – Day Four

    It was a beautiful day in the DR. Mostly sunny skies with highs in the upper 80s and a good breeze off the water. We started with a simple breakfast featuring strong coffee and fresh fruit, then we headed to La Hoya to worship in a church building that was partially built by a previous Continue reading

  • Dominican Republic Mission – Day Three

    It was a good and tiring day. After a hearty breakfast we headed out to Batay 7 to continue the previous day’s work. Good progress was made on the addition onto Pastor Alberto’s house. That means a lot of block was laid by both skilled and unskilled workers! We also had lots of willing little Continue reading

  • Dominican Republic Trip – Day 2

    We got off to an easy start today. Because of the long travel day yesterday, we took our time getting going. It was not time wasted. We fellowshiped over a good breakfast (the pineapple and papaya are great!) After our devotion and some discussion of the day, we loaded on the bus for a 45 Continue reading

  • Dominican Republic Trip – Day 1

    Just celebrated communion at the ATL airport. Excited about what the Lord is going to do! Continue reading

  • What It’s All About

    At that time the Roman emperor, Augustus, decreed that a census should be taken throughout the Roman Empire. (This was the first census taken when Quirinius was governor of Syria.) All returned to their own ancestral towns to register for this census. And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Continue reading

  • Seeing Jesus … at Walmart

    I hesitate to be overly critical of the spiritual insights or encounters that others have.  I realize that God has spoken through a burning bush and a donkey, so who am I to limit His options? Yet when I read about the engaged couple in Anderson, South Carolina who found an image of Jesus on their Continue reading

  • Voodoo, Witchcraft, and Spells All at the Click of Your Mouse

    Doing a Google search for information on faithfulness to God, I encountered an unexpected website – http://www.magic-love-spells.com/faithfulnessspell.html.  Now, I’m not expecting you to rush to the site and try it out.  It was just an eye-opening experience, but I guess it shouldn’t be.  The internet is a cornucopia of ideas, thoughts, and often lunacy. If you are tempted Continue reading
