I know that I am not the only person to have experienced times when God intervenes so specifically in our lives that all we can do is laugh, praise the Lord and simply say, “Thank you, God.”

Help Is a Prayer Away
On my recent trip to Nicaragua the carburetor on the boat we were riding in fell apart. To make matters worse, after we fixed that problem we then ran out of fuel.

It is funny how one word can mean different things to different people. Such is the case with “wizard.” For some people, when they hear the word “wizard” they think of a witch with magical powers. However, if you look closer at the definition for “wizard” you will discover that it also means a person who is knowledgeable about something.

Be on Guard
I admit it…three of my least favorite words are, “Hey, wake up!” We all experience periods in our lives where we receive a “wake up call.”

No More Complaining
Just when we think our life is tough God graciously shows us a glimpse of a life much more difficult than our own. My own whining quickly subsided as I took part in a combat patrol with U.S. Marines in northern Iraq.

In Jesus’ Name
Lights! Action! Camera! I enjoy movies just like everybody else. I learned a lesson in faith while in Africa sharing a very important movie—the “Jesus” film.
