I remember years ago when I was young. My aunt would call my mother and ask if us boys could come over and trim her hedges. We would say, Oh-No. These weren’t just any hedges; they were tall, wide, thick and had white flowers that filled the air with a thick super sweet aroma. It was sickening sweet. I can still smell them today. Continue reading ““Hedges””
I remember a number of years ago a song that had become popular called “The lion sleeps tonight”. The parts that were in English went like this. In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight. In the jungle, the peaceful jungle, the lion sleeps tonight. In the village, the mighty village, the lion sleeps tonight. In the village, the peaceful village, the lion sleeps tonight. Hush my Darling; don’t fear my darling, the lion sleeps tonight. Hush my darling; don’t fear my darling, the lion sleeps tonight.

There are many “Then” moments in our lives. The “Then” moment comes after the incident and at the point in time that we realize that God was, and is Lord over the incident. Everything I see and touch, I have to come to the “Then” moment and know that the Lord has designed and fashioned it, whether it is a tree, rock, river, dog, cat, and nation, whatever it is. It could be a troubled time in our life. It could be rebellion, personal or governmental time. There are many things that we didn’t know that God was Lord over. I didn’t know that He had planned for me to meet my wife. He was Lord over it before I even met her. “Then” I knew that He was Lord over our marriage. What a “Then” moment, of course when we first meet God that is the ultimate “Then” moment. Since then, there have been many “Then” moments. When God makes us to know the truth of a matter, those are “Then” moments. Continue reading ““Then You Will Know That I Am The Lord””
My wife and I used to live in south Alabama. We owned ten acres of land. We had chickens and some sheep. Chickens have natural enemies and so do sheep. Chickens seem to enjoy staying close to the house when we let them out to feed. Although they have to watch out for hawks. Their house is protected at night with fences around it to keep out raccoons and opossums that love southern fried chicken. The sheep have free reign to graze. Sheep have natural enemies also, such as dogs and coyotes. Our property had legal boundaries, of course the sheep don’t care where they start or stop. So we put fences around it. Now some of the sheep were perfectly fine with that, but a few were not. I spent a lot of time cultivating the fields, to provide fresh grass for them. To my surprise, that was not good enough for some. Continue reading ““Fences””
