The Voice of the Holy Spirit

For years, I have heard of those to whom the Holy Spirit's voice was loud and fairly clear. No, not necessarily an audible voice, but whose promptings were unmistakable. I desired to have that, though it seemed impossible. To me, the voice of the Holy Spirit was the sound of pale voice being spoken though a dense pillow in the middle of an Oklahoma wind storm!

This wasn't the fault of the Spirit. This was a result of my disobedience. I always knew and agreed with the idea that it was important to spend time in God's word, yet I didn't do it. I did pray, but how much got through?

When I Eric Browning invited many people to read through the Bible in the 365 days of 2010, I accepted the challenge. It really wasn't very long before the voice of the Holy Spirit started coming in a little clearer. Some of the text I read was very pertinent to the dark valley in which I found myself, but much of it was not. I do think, however, that a connection between myself and the creator was restored. This was a connection that I had been invited to make and long since dropped.

"Hi, God... I'm back, sorry about that."

Marriage: Cultural Misconception Exposed.

Recently I had a single person ask me if marriage was difficult. I'm not sure I can make a statement that rings true in all and for all marriages. My experience of marriage has been intertwined with my wife's difficult health problems. Thus my perspective has been colored. Facing life in the midst of these health problems has been the most difficult experience of my life. What I can say about marriage is that I was lied to almost my entire life. God did not invent marriage to "make us happy"... The lie propagated by nearly every facet of American society as a whole. A lie left largely un-refuted by church, or so it seemed to me. "Oh, he makes me so happy!" and then when he doesn't make you happy any longer... "I just don't love him anymore". Divorce then follows. The now single person starts looking for another source of happiness. The cycle repeats, as the broken and imperfect person seeks the wrong remedy. I do not mean to say that you

This was fun for me.

I made this with the infamous Brian Franklin. It was a lot of fun, and I think it turned out pretty well. The Pour-Over Coffee Brewing Method (pourover) from DoubleShot Coffee Company on Vimeo .

Bandon Oregon

I first played Bandon Dunes 8 years ago with my college buddies. It was beyond amazing! It was everything one could hope for, just epic! Between the mist, fog, break through sunlight, walks though dunes, pine forest, on the edge of 100’ cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean! It was simply amazing! Since then, I’ve only longed to go bock. Yet, our plans never seemed to gain traction towards return trip to Bandon. After this 2023 last trip to Jackson Wyoming, I decided to stop waiting on others, and I planned a solo trip to Bandon. Part of being a real fan of golf, I think, involves the enjoyment of golf getting paired with other random golfers. We all share the somewhat of the same love for the game, or we wouldn’t be there. You can talk, but you don’t necessarily have to make conversation. Just talk about the golf, the surroundings, “good shot!” I initially set out for this to be a completely solo trip, just fly out on my own, but my wife ended up having a change of heart and desi
