Miracles still happen today. This is a true storie of my life, and I thank God for being there when I needed Him the most. My name is Albert but every one calls me Ace.

This is one of the first miracles that ever happened to me, in the year 1967. I had died by being electrocuted and God brought me back to life, in the Bahamas, when I was only 15 years old at the time.

we were living in a two-story house on Mackie Street in Nassau. My father had just punished me and I…

Over the years I have accrued much scar-tissue to my heart, mind, spirit and soul. I have heard about Jesus and his atoning sacrifice and saving power my entire life, but up until a year-and-a-half ago I had never taken it very seriously. I can't remember the time when I got saved, but I do know I gave my life to Jesus at a young age. Since I gave my life to Jesus, initially, I have backslidden more times than I can possibly remember, and have been what is known as a "lukewarm christian" at…

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in my word, you really are my disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”…

LIBERAL CHRISTIANITY, CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANITY, AND CAUGHT-IN-BETWEEN

Key verses: When you have lifted up the Son of Man on the cross, then you will understand that I Am he…Then many who heard him say these things believed in him.  John 8.28,30

The "end is near!"  Christians are full of questions about the future, and inquiring minds want to know.

We see many signs and events in the world today that are deeply distressing, which some who are "in the know" associate with the imminent fulfillment of Biblical end-times prophecy.  Are we literally living in the last…

Dear Father in Heaven, Thank You for Your Words of wisdom to us in this wonderful book of Proverbs. Help us to heed them in all of our affairs and being especially careful not to neglect our civil duties, such as voting. Give us Your wisdom and guidance as we go to the polls. Let us see the candidates with Your eyes and hear them with Your ears. May we not be so traditionally tied to a political party that we would be blinded and not see the things You would have us see in the men and…

In the First Chapter of First John, the apostle writes that if we claim to be without sin we are deceiving ourselves.   I get that.  It makes sense to me.

Then come the difficult passages in the 3rd and 5th Chapters where John states that "children of God" do NOT "keep on sinning."  He does not qualify…

Mom was watching Jack Van Impe (she likes watching him). She heard about being married to Christ. She thought that was weird. I think I got an urgency from the Holy Spirit...I'm so nervous right now.

I don't want to witness wrong. I'm not sure when He wants me to witness, when I'll hear "go".

God has also revealed that fear has kept me back so long. That fear has to be removed. There's so much coming at once.  I so need a confirmation from Him.

I need to confess something. It's totally embarassing but I need to get it off of my chest.

I see people online with such a zeal and passion for the Lord. They're prasing and worshipping.

I don't know how. I don't know how to praise and worship properly.

Who on the outside of the internet will I praise/worship Him with? How do you worship when you're the only Christian (that you know of) around...How can you worship in a house when no one else…

Throughout history much has been written about man’s search to know if there is a God and, if so, to know what he is like. 

We are exhorted by the Scripture to seek and search for God.  The Psalmist says, “Search for the LORD and for his strength; continually seek him” (…

Dear Heavenly Father, I do want to be like You, so help me to react with Your love when someone does something toward me that is evil. I confess that I cannot do this in myself, but I am asking that You give me the love, understanding and patience that I need to be able to overcome evil with good. Father, Jesus forgave those who crucified Him on the cross, even in the midst of His agony; let me remember what You did on the cross, when I need to forgive trespasses done against me. Lord,…

 In Jesus Christ, it has always been “Yes”

Can you give me meaning in my life, God?…

Breaching the surface

largemouth jumps up to see if…

It can hold its breath.





The pregnant fishes

lounge upon the riverbed

waiting to give birth.





Dancing smallmouth bass

pirouettes around boat

looking for handouts.





Learning never ends!

For even the fish will stay…

Forever in school.





Protective coating:

Slimy perspective to us;

Life saving to them.

Hasta la pasta?

Annoying filament knots

of spaghetti spools.





The squeals of delight

flow from all fishing children

with uncontained joy.





Sounds of spinning spools

always brings me much comfort,

for I’m not at work.





Floating down the stream?

Not a dream, after dropping…

A bag of bobbers.





In early morning

anxious fish are awaiting

the autumn school bells.

-Joe…

Abuse of church authority is anathema to our Lord.  It drives people away from him, rather than drawing them to him . . . it crushes his heart and angers him to see what is said and done in his name. …

Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that

he will also reap.

This is a time when you will realize in practical terms the spiritual law of sowing

and reaping.  Many things are coming to completion or culmination, and you will

be able to identify and begin to understand the conclusion of your harvest.  Not

 everyone will reap with joy, but those who reap in sadness will also have an opportunity to begin again.  Prepare…

Lord God of Heaven and Earth, please speak to us from your Word and then from what you have given me to share, I pray Thee.  Amen.…
