Welcome! I moved to Los Angeles during the Summer of Love in 1967. "Light My Fire" was the hit song by The Doors. I was running in fear of failure, looking for love and acceptance, not realizing I had it all the time back home in Texas. I was lacking the peace of God that only the fire of the Holy Spirit could give! Jesus said:

"Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27).

God's Presence Lacking?

As a child growing up in church, I never experienced the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Greetings! I feel refreshed by the Spirit to minister at 80 years old. My body is healthier than most men my age. I'm strong in the Lord -- Spirit, soul and body -- reaching out around the world with the Good News of Christ!

"The Spirit, who raised Jesus from the dead lives in me . . . He gives life to my mortal body by the same Spirit" (Romans 8:11).

We're God's Masterpiece . . .

What you see and hear is 50 years of the Lord's work. 

Welcome! In the summer of '72, the death penalty was overturned by the Supreme Court. I was transferred to the California Men's Colony and given a job in the kitchen. I signed up for hobby and made toys. One was a police helicopter with the words "Game Is Blame" painted on the side. I knew my situation from the start was my own fault.

"Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away" (James 1:14, NLT).

The Blame Game . . .

It's sad how many play the Blame Game.

Welcome! The big lie of the serpent in the Garden of Eden was simply you don't need God's Word on things. Adam & Eve's choice to believe the lie of the Devil caused the Fall of mankind into sin and death.

"When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam's sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned" (Romans 5:12).

God Loves Us . . .

The Truth is that we need God's help every moment of the day and night 24/7, baptised in His love and grace. The GOOD NEWS is that no matter how hard life gets; God is present to help in time of need. He is our Jehovah-Shammah, the LORD is present [Deuteronomy 31:6-8; Ezekiel 48:35; Hebrews 13:5].

Welcome! I can get anxious when thoughts causing anxiety attack my mind. Thoughts of family, health, relationships, ministry and even the heat of my 6' by 11' cell pressing in on me. But these thoughts may be nothing compared to yours. Jesus promised:

"Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27; NKJV).

What's Your Need?

I can just imagine the many needs pressing in on your mind from moment to moment. 

Welcome! That same Spirit Who raised Christ from the dead, regenerated us, raised us and now dwells in us, creating a Divine flow to show us the way. The disciples who flowed with JESUS didn't receive that flow inwardly, until after the resurrection. Jesus told them:

"Behold, I send the Promised of My Father upon you, but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high" (Luke 24:49, NKJV).

The Divine Flow . . .

On the day of Pentecost in Acts 2, they were sent forth with love and boldness to do the work of the ministry. 

Happy Spring Time! A miracle can't be explained by man's wisdom. From my experience, it takes a God story! For instance, the story of creation, the virgin birth and our new birth in Christ are beyond man's explanation.

"For God, who said, 'Let there be light in the darkness,' has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ" (2 Corinthians 4:6, NLT).

Real Faith . . .

The events mentioned above have one thing in common, it takes faith to see the evidence of their reality. 

Be My Valentine! My desire is to share in a more personal way, now that I'm on TikTok as well. I have a message that you need to hear not only in your ears, but in your heart. One of love, faith and hope for lonely hearts to be filled and overflowing with the Spirit.

" . . . the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, temperance; against such there is no law" (Galatians 5:22, 23, KJV).

A New Valentine . . .

Recently, Gaylan showed up as a contact on my tablet, asking for help.

Happy New Year! My cousin Holly gave me TikTok for my 80th birthday. A couple of years ago, I asked the Lord for younger friends, since my older ones were dying off. These new friends are now welcoming me to TikTok; the Lord taking me to new heights. The prophet Isaiah, proclaimed:

"But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint" (Isaiah 40:31, NKJV).

My New Year's Testimony . . .

On December 2, 1945, I was born in Dallas to wonderful, churchgoing parents who owned Watson's Grocery in Copeville.
