Recently I spoke favorably of someone that I consider to be a friend. Another friend pointed out to me things that this person has done that are sinful. I asked if this person believed in grace. He said, “Well of course”. I just looked at him without saying a word until he slowly turned away . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2024/07/judge-at-your-own-peril/

Reverend Billy Graham was once asked what had been the most surprising thing about life? He didn’t hesitate and responded the brevity of it. Hmmm . . . I can relate. Time seems to be going by at a supersonic speed. Just yesterday I was a young man and now I have grandchildren that age . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2024/07/brevity-2/

I had a weird dream the other night and I cannot get it out of my mind. I dreamed I was given entrance to a small room and there were stacks of little white boxes in the room. The boxes were about the size that a necktie would come in. I was told that the boxes contained ghosts and then I was given a large amount of silver bullets, and I was told how to kill the ghosts was to let them out of the little white boxes and then shoot them with the silver bullets. I got the impression that the ghosts needed to be killed as they were evil. “Cool”, I thought, “I will blast a few of them” . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2024/07/dream-on-3/

I recently visited a friend in the hospital at Duke in North Carolina. As I was walking down the corridor located inside the hospital, I happened to notice a large American flag. As I got closer I saw that the red and the blue on the flags were comprised of names. Upon closer inspection I noted that the flag contained all the names of those who lost their lives on September 11th in the World Trade Center attack. I silently stood before it for some length of time reading thousands of names that were listed in alphabetical order, I looked to see if there were any Williamsons listed and sure enough I found one . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2024/07/the-earth-a-region-of-hell-2/

I watched the Republican convention last night and was duly impressed. One thing that speaker Nickie Hailey had to say was she had been telling her unconvinced friends that although she didn’t agree with Trump on every single issue, she did agree with him on more issues than not. and she gave him her wholehearted support . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2024/07/fear-not-3/

My computer has seen its last days. Sigh . . . I point the mouse at the location I want to go and it ignores it and goes everywhere but there. It is like it has a mind of its own. I get angry at it but it does not seem to care. Nothing seems to affect it aside from repeatedly banging it on my desk and even that doesn’t work half the time . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2024/07/huge-problem/

Donald Trump was nearly assassinated over the weekend. He attributed it to a miracle of God, and I believe that. The Democratic ultra-liberals were already claiming it was staged, he had it coming, he is a Nazi, a Fascist, and other nonsense. I watched the video of the shooting that came within a couple of millimeters of killing him and it was not “staged.” . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2024/07/seeing-is-not-believing-2/

I am really perturbed about the polls I have seen in the past few weeks, that the “truth” is nowhere to be found in them and they are an insult to the electoral process and anyone’s intelligence to quote them. It is as though Satan, the “Father of all lies” authored them himself . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2024/07/useless-polls/

One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets of Atlanta, taking those extra precautions necessary when the roads are wet and slick. Suddenly, my young son, Michael, spoke up from his relaxed position in his seat. “Dad, I’m thinking of something.” . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2024/07/the-rain/

I read something that was very meaningful to me, Hope is praying for rain – faith is bringing an umbrella. How can I increase my faith is a popular question among many people who are worried about their faith especially during times of grief, and stress . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2024/07/umbrella-for-dark-days/
