Last Thursday I surgery to help me breathe through my nose. It has been somewhat miserable in a lot of ways. At first I had determined that I would work from home during this week of recovery. For various reasons I have been unable to do that but it has been very, very good for [...]

New Day

God has an interesting way of working in my life – probably in most people’s, but I can only speak for my own. When I returned to Oregon from 2 years in Florida finishing Bible School, I expected to live with my parents for a month at the most. I expected to have a job [...]
What is in Your Hands?

Do you know that feeling that you’re not doing what you should be and that the Lord is going to move you into a more active role if you will just trust and obey? I’ve had that feeling for a while now, knowing that I haven’t been doing all that I could be doing or [...]
Amazing God

God is so amazing to me. I’ve been in a spiritual slump…I guess that’s what you call it. It’s more like I’ve been very lazy spiritually. God used Facebook and I made a connection with a local pastor. I visited the church and suddenly I felt like He was showing me where I belonged, church [...]
A Conversation

“What do I have to offer?”
“You have much to offer.”
“Much? Me? I don’t know what it is, what You think I have to give.”
A quick flash of my work life went through my mind. I heard the praise of many people on how I just stepped in and did so much in such a short [...]
Where is Your Faith?

One of the things I have frequently struggled with in the 10 years I’ve been a Christian is faith. In Matthew 17:20 Jesus says to the disciples, ”And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you [...]
Restoration

I think many of us do silly things when we first come to Christ. We come believing that we know what He wants and, not knowing Him, we end up putting ourself in bondage to expectations that do not come from God but from our misconceptions about Him.
When I first came to Christ I believed [...]
God’s Mysterious Ways

In 1998 God sent Joseph and Briana Branchflower to the River Bible Institute in Tampa, FL. In 1999 He called them back to Portland. Rather than start a church immediately, Joseph and Briana went to City Bible Church and pastored there, faithfully obeying the leading of the Lord.
In 1999 God sent me to the River [...]
Light of the World

I am reading an old book by Billie Graham called “World Aflame” – in the book he was talking about Christians being the light of the world, and, perhaps since I just finised reading Exodus and Leviticus, I saw this picture in my head of the light that was kept continually burning in the Tabernacle [...]

I just finished this huge project…well a huge part of a huger project! One of my goals this year is to get all of my writing (songs, stories, journals, bible study notes) typed and on my computer. Step one was all my poems and songs. That is done. Step two was my journals. This was [...]
