Solid Rock
I am a big fan of Star Wars. For those who don’t follow it, there is a show called Andor that explores the early days of the growing rebellion against the evil Galactic Empire. One of its central characters, Mon Mothma, is a member of the Galactic Senate who is secretly helping lead the burgeoning…

What am I going to do between now and Wednesday?
Last night I had a dream within a dream. As is often the case with dreams, many of the details have already faded. Yet one part remains vivid in my mind. In the first dream, there was some message or certainty that Jesus was returning on Wednesday. Today is Monday, so in the dream there…

God in a Music Stand
It was one of those times when you feel like you’re the hero of an action movie. You know, when he’s being held captive and the world is only seconds away from being destroyed. Everything seems to be going bad; the crisis has come. This time though was without the drama of a daring escape,…

All Consuming God
It’s Sunday morning when I walk up to a store front church next to Diary Queen. As I step through the door with guitar in hand, gentle praise music from a CD player fills the white cinder block room. A wooden stage runs the length of one side of the room with a full band…
