Jesus IS.

I feel that 98% of "Christians" do NOT really get how mind blowing Jesus really is.

He is not "my homeboy"... he is the author of everything. He is master of everything, who humbled himself to enter his creation to redeem his creation. He was not created. He has never not been. He has ALWAYS been. he exists outside of time and matter. He loves an lives within me.

A few years ago, I was exhausted emotionally and spiritually. Life, harder than ever fathomed it could be. I was ready to leave this world. Flying to vacations, I secretly hoped the plane would crash. From this place of exhaustion, pain, and destitution came help from a Jesus I claimed to know since I was a child... Claimed to follow. I claimed him to be Lord of my life. But he was not. I had not chosen to follow him. Not whole heartedly. My will opposed submission to his... Whatever it might be.

When I reached a low point of personal exhaustion, I threw my hands up and said, "okay, I'll do it your way."

He has redeemed me... He is transforming me. He has saved me. He has saved my marriage. He has made life worth living. He had given me a purpose. He has given me hope. He has given me joy.

Truly... Without Christ I am nothing. He has saved my everything. I owe him all. To stand up against God's will and say "I will do this an that, not what you want," is to take a stand against God the way Lucifer took a stand when he exalted his own will above that of God's will.

Jesus is not an initial on a bracelet... He is not a dashboard bobble head. He is not a catchy slogan. He is not a watered down "prophet" or a "good man" who lived thousands of years ago.

He is the author of life. He is your only way to life... He is my Lord. My savior. Without him, I have nothing.

My heart breaks for everyone who has not realized this. They are missing out on the greatest gift ever given to mankind. Jesus Christ is Lord of lords... King of kings.

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

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
