In the middle of July, I returned to Dallas (my home town) and I had the wonderful opportunity to meet many of the approximately 75 people who attended my presentation, "Overcoming the Trials of a Lifetime." I continue to be amazed at two things : (1) how warm and friendly are the people in the Lone Star State and (2) how people can live right through 7 digit temperatures in that dagnabbed Texas summer.

I think it was Thomas Jefferson who wanted a wall of separation between politics& religion and Facebook. ;-)
That is why I created this Virtual Pulpit page. I wanted to reach out to my Christian brothers and sisters but avoid the controversies and arguments of the greater social media world.
After a few years of a post here and a post there, it is now time to step on the gas. Why now? Because I've written a book and it will be published in just a few weeks.
The book is entitled, "Overcoming the Trials of a Lifetime". It is about finding meaning and joy when struggling or just surviving life's afflictions and hardships, such as chronic pain and illness. In the book, I share many stories of the trials I've already had and those that still must be endured, such as how I've coped with Parkinson's for 20 years now and counting. The book also contains answers to our questions about God's rule and role in all of this. Despite the seriousness of the topic, I'm reassured by my advance readers that the book is uplifting and a "joy to read."
The book will be released approximately one month from now. It will be on sale at all the usual places (Amazon, Kindle downloads, Barnes & Noble, etc).
Accordingly, would you please give me a thumbs up if you think this book interests you enough for you to want to buy it. Also, your thumbs up will mean next month I will send you information on how to buy the book.

Creepy Tunnel Syndrome Hezekiah’s Tunnel is an ancient waterway connecting a valley spring outside of the walls of Jerusalem to the Pool of Siloam inside the walls. Back in 1981, Hezekiah’s Tunnel in Jerusalem was very primitive, and it was not the tourist site it is now. There was one security guard sitting on a folding chair and reading an Arabic language newspaper. [ 393 more words ]

My Father’s Mental Illness. Somewhere in the vicinity of 1967 and 1968 something inside me snapped. At the time, people called it a “nervous breakdown.” Later, more clinical descriptions became Dad’s labels, such as “paranoid” and “schizophrenic". My dad was in and out of the Veterans’ Hospital.

College Days I began my studies at Stanford University in the Fall of 1979. I was 18 years old. That first year at Stanford was exciting and life-changing. I was constantly surrounded by both teachers and students who were, putting it simply, brilliant. There was the premed surfer from Orange County, California. There was the space-camp summer scientist majoring in physics. [ 692 more words ]

Rom. 8.28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. Entire books have been written about Romans 8:28. This verse about God working everything for good is probably the most frequently quoted verse spoken to those who are suffering and afflicted.

Salvation. I was born again at home in Dallas, Texas and sometime in 1973. I was twelve years old. My brother Karl had found Christ while in high school and was visiting us in Dallas while on leave from the Army during the very end of the Vietnam war. He explained to me how I was a sinner in need of God’s mercy, how Christ died for me and would save me from my sins and eternal punishment if only I'd believe and place my trust in him.
