Have a Very Scarey Christmas

     It was Christmas of 1983 when this first hit the airwaves at what was then WBKW The Christian Way of Life Radio.

The world is looking forward to Christmas again this year
Dad is headed down to the liquor store stocking up on Christmas cheer
Mom is just glad that the loan went through
Brother is thinking about slopes and skies
Little sister is thinking about a shopping mall sitting on Santa Claus knee

Its gonna be a very scary Christmas
Its a frightening thing to know our world is held together by a ribbon and a bow
The X that took the place of Christ on every card we read
Its gonna be a very scary Christmas indeed

Hey Christian lets bundle up tonight
Skipping church to go around the neighborhood checking out the colorful lights
If we could just go back to the Christmas of the past
Maybe we could find a way to make them last.

Its gonna be a very scary Christmas
It's a frightening thing to know our world is held together by a ribbon and a bow
the X that took the place of Christ on every card we read
its gonna be a scary Christmas indeed.


I was watching a TV commercial talking about last minute at one of department stores and the words of this song came flooding back to me. Christmas is not about gifts that we receieve. It is about the Greatest Gift ever given, Jesus Christ, coming to a sinful world to save it from their sins. Your sins and mine.  Its about families being together, its about thanking God for sparing us one more year.

Have a Very Merry Christmas indeed.....

Everyone Can't Be In Your Front Row

     Sharon me gave this, I don't know if it is a poem or what. Everyone Can't Be In Your Front Row ( sometimes we just need to hear this ) Life is like a theater, so invite your audience carefully. Not everyone is holy or healthy enough to have a FRONT ROW seat in our lives. There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance. Its amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your time draining, negative, incompatible not-going-anywhere relationships, friendships, fellowships or even family. Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention to which ones lean and which ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill or just staying still??? When you leave certain people do you feel better or worse?? Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know and appreciate you and the gift rthat lies within you? The mor...

Don't Argue Or Reason With The Devil

I was watching Jesse Duplantis last night and he was teaching on Jesus being tempted in the wilderness in Matthew chapter 4. I was reminded of something that I was working on. I have never preached this message anywhere, but on radio once and I don't know when it ran...  In Matthew 4 "Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the wilderness, after fasting forty days he was hungry, the temptor came to Jesus and said, If thou be the Son of God command these stones to be turned into bread.  Jesus  said it is written that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of  out of the mouth of God."  Satan doesn't give up, he comes at Jesus a second time and says, "If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written He shall Give His angels charge over you.... Jesus said for the second time, "It is written again, thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God. Satan didn't give up he came at Jesus a third time, takin...

Class of 1975, I Graduated, Whats Next????

The class of 1975 made it through the Pomp and Circumstance” getting our high school diplomas. June 6, 1975 seems like so long ago, but at the same time it seems like it was only yesterday. SO many decisions that were made that would affect our lives forever. I don’t think that we should hold decisions made by an 18 or 19 year old accountable for the rest of their lives. I was 17 when I graduated from high school and I was a very sheltered 17 year old to say the least. I had never dated. I didn’t date until I was 21. It wasn’t a religious thing, it was more like my mind and my age finally caught up with each other. Some of our class would go to college, some would work and some went into the military. Some would do well in college, some would leave home and go wild, but would eventually settle down into a career, some would marry and divorce, others married later, some would have children and some didn’t. This will cover my first year after graduation, what I did. Some of this some ...
