Bracing for another winter storm. Blizzard like conditions is the possibility according to the weather man. I am truly grateful that God has the last word. Whether the storm is raging on the outside or on the inside. My GOD has the final word.

Since I am staying on the inside today, my plans are to video stream several of my Bible Studies.

Scientific Evidences Found In The Bible

Laminin “The Glue That Counts”

A Hidden Message in The Bible

Not One Left Behind

*Two Reasons Why People Change

Some people only change when they are forced to do so. They’re like the guy who was always in trouble with the law. He went to confession and told the priest, “I’m changing my ways, father.”

The priest said, “Have you finally seen the light, my son?”

“No father. I have felt the heat.”

There are 2 reasons why people change–they either feel the heat or see the light. Feeling the heat forces us to change. Seeing the light inspires us to change.

Working On New Books.

The snow and cold has provided the opportunity for me to work on my books.

First, I am close to the completion of my new book “The Prophecy Encyclopedia”. This encyclopedia lists in alphabetical order each major event related to the biblical books of Daniel and The Revelation of Saint John. I hope to have it completed by early summer.

My second book is my “Parson Table Cook Book” this book will be available in print as well as by CD Spring 2010.

My Third book “When Faith Grows” is scheduled for publication sometime in August 2010.

My last project is my children’s book, “The Blue River Rat and Friends” some of the subjects this colorful book deals with are issues of; faith, love, obedience, mercy and kindness. Due for publication sometime in the late fall of 2010.

*The Same Old Baloney

Two construction workers had taken a lunch break and opened up their lunch boxes. One of them looked inside his box and said, “Not baloney again! I can’t believe it. I hate baloney. This is the third time this week I’ve had baloney. I can’t stand baloney!”

The other one said, “Why don’t you just ask your wife to make you something different?”

He replied, “I don’t have a wife. I made these myself.”

The fact is, most of the baloney in our lives we put there ourselves. If we ever want life to be any different from the same old baloney we keep serving ourselves, then we must break out of doing the routine.
