I was watching a fishing show on television the other night. I was amazed at the number of commercials and the clever way they try to retain viewers interest. Before each commercial they load up on telling all of the interesting segments that will soon be aired. I try to use this same strategy in the books I write. I try to end each chapter with something that makes the reader turn the page to find out what happened next . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/05/you-will-want-to-stay-tuned-2/

I love to go to rodeos and one of the best in the world is the Calgary Stampede in Calgary Alberta. The last time I attended there wasn’t a cloud in the sky and it was bluebird blue. It was a beautiful, cool, and crisp day without a sign of our hot Floridian humidity. My wife and I had great fun as we watched, barrel racing, bare back bronco riding, calf roping, steer wrestling, and finally bull riding . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/05/a-great-day-to-be-alive-2/

My brother became close to the Lord a couple of years before his death. He was one of those people who had sunk to the very bottom of the barrel of life and with nowhere to turn for help, and out of sheer desperation and agony turned to the Lord . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/05/we-need-god-in-good-times-too-2/

There was a beautiful sunrise this morning. The water in the harbor was like a mirror without so much as a ripple. The reflection of the gorgeous sunrise with its beautiful orange and red hues covering the sky and the water made them look identical . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/05/can-you-disappoint-god/

As a student of the Bible for over forty some odd years, I believe we are living in the last days. I won’t go into my interpretation of the Scriptures as to why I make that statement as it would take too long, but rest assured I believe the Lord could come at any time . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/05/advice/

I was saddened to see that a young white supremist man murdered 10 people and wounded another 3 at a grocery store in Buffalo NY the other day. He is the product of well-educated parents, both engineers with above average incomes. They have no idea why their son did what he did or from where his racism evolved. They say race was never discussed in their household and that they were unaware of their son’s extremist views . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/05/a-murderer/

Today I should be in Costa Rica. I moved the possessions I am keeping out of my home in the Florida Keys and was supposed to close last Friday and be on a plane the next day. After I had moved out all my possessions and put them in storage the buyer backed out at the last possible moment. So, I spent the weekend moving back in and trying to get the house presentable to market again. My wife and I are nearing exhaustion . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/05/unshaken/

The other day I wrote about wanting to be with God now and not in the distant future but hoping He will delay the rapture and/or my demise until I can lead some of my non-believer friends and family to fully commit and surrender their lives to Jesus . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/05/the-warrior/

I am stunned at the prices for gas, groceries, vehicles, my latest tax bill, etc. I can afford it, but I cannot help but feel sad for those families that cannot. It has become an agonizing decision for many people in our country to either buy groceries or buy fuel for their vehicle so they can get to work . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/05/last-call/

I was really stressed out yesterday. I’ve sold my house, my property at Honey Lake, and my Yellowfin boat and need to get them all closed by the end of the month. As with most closings involving a great deal of money, there comes a great deal of problems with it. One of the biggest problems is that we have booked our flights to Costa Rica and rented a house with a non-refundable deposit, and I cannot get any legal documents notarized there except at the United States embassy. Meaning I must get everything accomplished prior to leaving or lose thousands of dollars . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/05/nuclear-war-and-dock-permits/
