I understand, for she doesn’t know who I am. I’m a stranger to her. Then, turning away, I bow my head and pray silently for the strength I know I will need. I have always been a firm believer in God and the power of prayer, though to be honest, my faith has made for a list of questions I definitely want answered after I’m gone. Ready now.

She looked around the house to see if one of the older boys was at home, but she only found little Eddie. Eddie was busy oiling an old typewriter that he had picked up in a junk shop for a dollar. It was his most recent treasure.” Thus begins the story of Little Eddie Goes to Town by Carolyn Haywood. As a boy Mom read this story before putting me down for my nap. I’m sure she would have preferred to read other stories but I insisted on Little Eddie. For me Little Eddie was my story. It also became my destiny. We all have a destiny. For a few fortunate individuals, they are destined to leave a legacy. Steve Jobs was Apple. Elvis was rock-in-roll. Abe Lincoln was liberty. I became the Eddie in the story.

I was seventeen, had a date to the prom, and needed Saturday night off. My manager explained Saturday nights were our busiest. As if I didn’t know. As if working at the restaurant for over a year I had somehow failed to notice this fact. As if my absence weeks earlier in Greensboro during N.C. State’s victory over UCLA during the NCAA tournament had been of my choosing. As if… “No.” “No?” I replied. “Even though I’m willing to find someone to work for me?” “What’d I just say? No. I need you here.” “In that case, consider this my two week’s notice.” One word can change a life, career, or friendship. I’d considered the manager my friend. He was not. He was my boss. God is my boss too, and His best friend is a guy named Word. Word was with him in the beginning. Word knows things about God I’ll never understand. Word and God are best buds.

Words create life: “Will you marry me?” Movements: “I have a dream…” And freedom: “We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain: that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.” But words are no longer in vogue. In fact, for the first time since our nation’s founding we may on the verge of losing our independence not from war, but from a steady retreat from the realm of reading.

You meet those who happily do what is right, who keep a good memory of the way you work. Isaiah 64:4 from The Message   The best-selling book, The Day of the Jackal, was turned down with the comment of “no reader interest.” The book has since sold eight million copies. The Diary of Anne Frank was rejected 15 times and called “very dull,” with unfamiliar characters who bickered like a typical family. Chicken Soup for the Soul by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen was rejected 140 times. And Carrie by Stephen King? Rejected 30 times. The story goes, after the final rejection King threw the manuscript in the trash and his wife fished it out.   What does it mean to wait for God? One of my favorite sayings goes: “God is good, God is great. God is slow but never late.” This is actually one of mine. God spoke it to me one evening during a Bible study fellowship lecture. For me, that saying speaks volumes. Not because of its commentary on God’s character, but on ours. We live for the moment; God lives for the ages. We want success right now; God wants us right with Him. We imagine what we can see and hope God will give us our dreams. He dreams of a time when we no longer look to Him as the giver of gifts and blessings but as simply, Lord.  Click to read the rest of this devotion.00:31:00HE Said vs SHE SaidnoBible study fellowship,Carrie by Stephen King,Chicken Soup for the Soul,Diary of Anne Frank,The Day of the JackalSince before time began no one has ever imagined, no ear heard, no eye seen, a God like you who works for those who wait for him.

Each day has enough trouble of its own. -  Matthew 6:34 NASV   A little before 9 AM on September 11, 2001, I logged onto the server and began updating one of the IBM websites. For almost a year I had worked remotely from my home with just my dog as co-worker company. That morning, with my RealAudio program streaming live Calypso music, I marveled at the fact that I could listen to a radio station based out of the U.S. Virgin Islands while dressed in shorts and a surf shirt. I gave no thought for tomorrow. Why should I? Life was good.   But then some days, life is not so good.   God knows the weight of tomorrow and the worry it brings. Only His shoulders are broad enough to carry the load of sorry and the storehouse of blessings the day following this brings. Had I known that September 11, 2001 would usher in such a decade of fear, hatred, and bigotry, I might have met that Tuesday with the creased brow of a worried frown. But I didn’t. I coded away, ignorant of the airplane descending toward the North Tower of the World Trade Center.  Click to read the rest of this devotion.00:32:00HE Said vs SHE SaidnoIBM websites,Calypso music,September 11 2001,World Trade Center,North TowerSo do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.

Apparently the umbilical cord strangled the “common sense” strand rendering me an idiot. This explains why I run aground in my sailboat, fail to read instruction manuals, can’t focus on details, speak up when I should shut up, stand when I should sit, and hold to the foolish notion that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof—even if that means allowing government employees to bring God into their workplace, courtroom, or oval office. I’m what you call an Eddie.   Eddies form when a current develops instability. (Plenty of volatility in our culture.) The circulation within an eddy usually has different temperature and characteristics to the water outside of the eddy and flows in the opposite direction.   For years I fought my counter-current nature. Odd is fine if you need a funny character in a movie or novel, but not when you want others to take you serious. And yet, no matter how hard I tried to “go with the flow,” I could not. I got bounced from class for talking back to the teacher, reprimanded by my boss for questioning company policy, and fired (sort of) as a Sunday school teacher for presenting the consequences of sin in stark terms.

Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” – John 20:29, English Standard Version (ESV) Don’t, Can’t, and Won’t live in my home, squash my dreams and blind me to the possibilities of God’s blessings. When faced with a problem I often grumble, “I don’t understand why… Can’t see how… Won’t believe until…” My sons (both grown) are Pooh and Piglet: my wife, Kanga.   Me? I’m the little donkey that quips: “Good afternoon… If it is a good afternoon, which I doubt.” Or, “Don’t pay any attention to me. Nobody ever does.” My favorite? “It isn’t mine.

He said everything God had sent man to do on earth was done. A member of the congregation jumped to his feet and said that someday man would fly. The bishop responded with the now famous line: "If God had intended man to fly, he would have given him wings." When we view the whole of creation, we realize God's work was indeed good... and incomplete. He did not give us wings with which to fly, for example, or replacement parts for failing organs and antibodies for deadly diseases. His creative work is a good start; our job is to complete the task of subduing, improving, and imagining what can be from what is.

Often we speak of people who are “outed.” Politicians and celebrities and pastors caught in sin or scandalous discretions that used to be considered shameful but which are now celebrated as diverse and liberating. Here’s my “out.” God called me to something great. Not good, not ordinary, but grand. If you’re like me you may nod or maybe even offer an acknowledging smile when someone says “God spoke to me.” But deep down we usually think: Is he for real?Has she lost her mind? Only a crazy person hears voices in their head. And yet we have numerous examples in scripture of individuals claiming to hear God. I, too, have heard His voice. I can drive you to downtown Raleigh and show you the block on which I walked that warm August afternoon when God whispered, “Someday Eddie, you will do a grand thing for me.” I worked at the N.C.

To the south, a clot of powerboats, ferries, and sailboats carried summer cruisers and tourists toward the Seattle waterfront. I relaxed on my friend’s porch, Bible in my lap, eyes scanning the promises of God and wondering when He would heal my family’s tiny plot of land. Though we clipped coupons, spent frugally, and sold off assets, our budget remained in a drought. Was it pride that had led us to this place? My sin? Though I prayed daily for provision, perhaps God had whispered from afar and I’d missed his calling. When I looked up from my Bible, I found the small sloop stuck near the same channel marker.

At the last second, coach Jim Valvano pulled his point guard aside and whispered, “If Lo misses these two shots I want you…” Too often confidence is the missing key to our success. That Friday night in Atlanta, freshman Lorenzo Charles and N.C. State needed a confidence boost. Their chance to secure an NCAA bid rested in the hands of a freshman; a player whose free-throw average stood at %67.6. Odds were, Lo would miss at least one of the shots. Maybe both.

Despite the low-slung storm clouds that framed the northwestern sky, the wind, waves, and boat were all moving towards the same tropical latitudes, so we weren’t concerned with the growing gale — only thankful for the ride and the simple perfection of a self-steering wind vane. We had exhausted our stock of recreational diversions the first day out, so our crew had resorted to bawdy pranks with hot dogs and the Polaroid camera. Pity the poor crew member who slept in the salon. During his morning watch, our captain had extracted a cheap boom box from behind the settee beside the quarter berth, so when I came on duty at noon I had the cockpit, rain, and radio all to myself.

Just when we think we’ve accumulated all we need to reach the summit, our ride stops. Casting a sideways glance, I counted the others in the elevator. Were we too many? What constitutes a crowd? Is there a fish scale in the ceiling calculating our tonnage? Far above I heard the motorized whir of pulleys spinning. With a jolt the cable yanked editors and agents and writers upwards toward our temporary rooms. I nodded at the woman standing next to me. Would my suitcase tip the scales? Would hers? The elevator shuttered to a stop. More riders pressed in and up we went. The writer of Proverbs 30 peered toward the heavens and asked the God of the universe to give him only enough wealth to be carried in his purse or pouch. Too much, and the writer would have no need for God. Too little, and the bitterness of poverty would rob him of joy and peace.

Another man arrived. He too carried with him a pouch. Kneeling on one knee he scratched the hard soil. Dry, rock hard, he thought. Turning, he walked away, but soon returned with a small pale of water. Dipping his hand, he sprinkled the ground until a muddy paste formed. Pressing his thumb into the soil, he carefully placed each seed into the divot and covered it. For weeks the man would return each day to water his small plot. One day he noticed a green shoot emerging from the soil. The next day he brought more water and began in another part of the field, soaking the soil, massaging the mud.

Excellent writing, helping others, and prayer. Lots and lots of prayer. Ruth knew a little about prayer and helping others. In verse eleven Boaz commends her, saying, “I’ve been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband—how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before.” Writers are people I do not know; book publishing a foreign and hostile country.

Last week, for the seventh time, I attended the Blue Ridge Mountain Christian Writers’ Conference: this time as faculty. Near the close of the ceremony they presented the “Selah” award. The Hebrew word “Selah” (found in the Book of Psalms) means, “stop and listen; pause, and think on that.” The award honors those who: “Pause from the busyness of life.

The marketing budget for our big promotional campaign was a red bank envelope containing tens and twenties — my Christmas cash. I spent it all on a press release. I contacted friends, cajoled and pleaded with people I barely knew on Facebook and spent hours talking to middle-school students on how to become a pirate. My mom became the book’s primary sales representative. She carries copies in her car, purse, and to church. A few weeks ago a lady ran a stop sign and T-boned Mom’s Buick, totaling it. My sweet mother took the woman’s insurance information and sold her a book. And still the book doesn’t have legs. Legs are a book’s ability to stand on its own without the help of the author.

Her father died when she was eight-years-old. Ten years later she left home and never saw her mother or sister again. When she was thirty-six she received a “call within the call.” “I was to leave and help the poor while living among them. It was an order. To fail would have been to break the faith.” Agnes wasn’t a big wig, but through her faith in a big God, Mother Teresa’s work continues to extend far beyond the borders of her humble beginnings. His mother died when he was nine-years-old. In 1832, he ran for state legislature and finished eighth in a field of thirteen candidates. The following year he and a partner opened a general store, but the business failed. He sought to become speaker of the state legislature and lost. He applied for the job of land officer but was denied. In 1858 he missed a seat in the U.S. Senate when his party failed to win control of the state legislature. In 1860, however, he became the 16th president of the United States and God’s shepherd for a divided nation. “I am almost ready to say that this is probably true, that God wills this contest.” “This contest”—the American Civil War—cost Abraham Lincoln his life. He wasn’t a big wig, but through his obedience, he united a nation and extended the borders of freedom to an enslaved people. Four years ago the desk clerk asked if I was a minister. “If so, you get the minister’s rate.” Though I had helped found a small ministry, I didn’t consider myself a minister. I refused. The next year, she asked again. Our ministry had grown so I reluctantly agreed to accept the discount.

Proverbs 22:3 The collision bounced the young man off the hood of the car, over the roof, and into a field. Unfazed by the horror of blood on his windshield, the driver of the Buick continued, crushing the boy’s bicycle before ramming into the father, killing him. Perhaps the driver reached for an open can of beer. Maybe his fingers fumbled for more of the cocaine resting in his lap. Regardless, he drove another thirty yards before witnesses waved him down and forced him to turn around. By then it was too late—one dead, another soon to be. The prudent see danger and take refuge, the simple keep going. Months before my friend killed the two cyclists he had, in descending order, left his live-in girlfriend, divorced his wife, had an affair, lost several jobs, moved away from his friends, and stopped attending church. I’d tried to stay in touch after his youngest son died but it was hard. Saw him for a few minutes before his mom’s funeral. Tried to find him after the service, but he was gone. Maybe if I’d visited more often I could have helped. Or perhaps he was beyond help. The last time we talked I asked, “Do you still think about him?” “Every day, Eddie. Every hour.” The loss of his boy left him gutted. The smile was there but the eyes were dead. I never asked and he didn’t say but I sensed he blamed God for his son’s death. Now, on a fine spring morning some ten years later, my friend had done some killing himself.

Maybe there is no God, no saving Jesus, and no hope. But that’s okay because without God, there’s no hell either. The idea that only Christians will spend eternity in the bliss of heaven while everyone else burns in hell, is “misguided and toxic and ultimately subverts the contagious spread of Jesus’ message of love, peace, forgiveness, and joy that our world desperately needs to hear,” writes Mars Hill pastor Rob Bell. Thanks to these and other great thinkers, I’ve seen the light. Blinded by it in fact. And this enlightenment leads me to conclude that Christianity is the greatest hoax ever fostered upon mankind. As of today, I am resigning my position as editor of Christian Devotions Ministries. This is my last devotion. To everyone who has believed my tripe about sin and salvation, healing and hope, I apologize. I meant you no harm.

As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head. Obediah 1:15 My birthday week is over. I still have a few gifts to open. But the big one, the gift I look forward to every year is gone. No more Almond Joys or Butterfingers. Only the chocolate-covered wrappers remain of cousin Ricky’s candy. Each year for birthdays and Christmas Ricky sends candy, movies and homemade videos to family members. The movies are good and the videos funny and touching, but the candy is the real hit. Bite-size sweets eaten one day at a time. As long as there’s candy, the celebration continues. For his gracious gift and acknowledgment of my birthday Ricky gets nothing. No thank you card. No phone call. Only a short email. Some years not even that. And yet the gifts continue to come. God warns our deeds, good or bad, will return to us. The Golden Rule “Do unto others as they do unto you” predates the life of Christ and is as old as God Himself. “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” “Give, and it will be given to you…For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” The candy is gone but the memory of my birthday gifts remains. We could all use a cousin Ricky. We could all stand to have a few more Almond “joyful” moments in our life. And, when we consider how many Butterfinger mistakes we make each day (like my failure to thank Ricky) it becomes clear we need a God who offers the gift of forgiveness, too. As long as there’s candy and Christ and birthdays, life is sweet.

The manna stopped the day after they ate this food from the land; there was no longer any manna for the Israelites, but that year they ate the produce of Canaan. Joshua 5:11-12 Oh Lord, please let me go into labor. Pleeeeaasseee, let me go into labor. That was my prayer on November 21, 1981. Nine months pregnant, living in the low country, dodging fire ants, I pleaded, No clam bake, Lord. Please no clam bake. Our South Carolina friends were wonderful to invite us to their yearly clam bake. We’d attended the year before and the fish they flopped on my plate stared back at me. Fish . . . uggh . . . I guess it was good. I zoned out as I stared back at the dark eye and crispy fin. When I came around, it was half-eaten and to this day, I can’t tell you if it was me that did the eating. But being pregnant in the dog days of summer, meant the thoughts of eating anything vaguely fishy turned my stomach. The folks in low country are the true essence of southern hospitality. Think Paula Deen, plus some. They enjoy the fruits of their coastal lands—lobster, shrimp, flounder, and clams all bring friends together for fellowship and (I suppose) tasty delights. We were dirt poor when we lived in South Carolina and it wasn’t unusual to wonder where the next meal would come from, but God always provided. He answered my prayer too. I went into labor the afternoon of the clam bake. No fish eating for me.

That’s why I wait until I hear her heavy breathing before patting my side of the comforter. It’s hard for her to say, “No! Shove that dog off!” when she’s ah… purring. And it’s not like I’m a big dog-in-the-bed fan. Mutt takes up all my legroom, but when I’m ready for bed I don’t want to waste time discussing sleeping arrangements with a dog. And yet I do. “No, you’re not allowed.” Whimper. “Beat it!” Sneeze. “Go on now, lay down.” Bark. “Okay, pop on up. But don’t let her find you.” Lately the patting on my side of the bed hasn’t worked. The dog stands on her hind legs wanting to jump up, but refusing. I think she’s afraid she won’t make it. It’s happened a few times. Not that many. But enough to keep her from trying. It’s trying for me, too. Makes me have to get out of the bed, pick her up, and put her on the blanket which in turn means the purring stops, a wicked eye opens, and I’m sent to the proverbial dog house — which in our case is the guest bedroom.

Set your fires, stir people up, blow on the flames, But don’t expect me to just stand there and watch. I’ll hold your feet to those flames. – Isaiah 50:11 (The Message) In the mid-eighties, following Band Aid’s recording project, “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” Harry Belafonte teamed up with fundraiser Ken Kragen to assemble some of the top names in the recording industry. Their goal was to create a hit record whose proceeds would go to the African famine relief project. Within days pop stars like Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Willie Nelson, Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Loggins, and Bob Dylan arrived at Kenny Rogers’ Lion Share Recording Studio. A few months later the supergroup released “We Are the World.” The song became the fastest-selling American pop single in history. Sales exceeded twenty million copies. Along with promotional and merchandise products, the project raised over $63 million in humanitarian aid. But the song might never have happened if the troublemakers with hot tempers and inflated egos had had their way.

If someone walks past our house, he spouts a hateful bark then runs upstairs to hide. Guess he thinks he’s tough, shielded behind the banisters of the upstairs hallway. He gobbles his food in seconds for fear it will be taken away. When we walk Spike and his brother Alf in the park, Alf springs to the front, tail extended and ears perked, while Spike lags behind, tail tucked and hunkered in a squat. We’ve never lifted a finger to hit the dog or scolded him harshly and it puzzles me why he’s so fearful. I’ve recently begun to work with Spike. I figure with fifteen years of experience as a vet tech, I could surely turn him around. So I watched him a couple of days, observing the things that seemed to haunt him. It was obvious, building a trusting relationship with Spike, was the place to start. Spike’s fears pushed him into my lap and my face every time I sat down. My training began by gently sitting him next to me on the couch. When he crawled into my lap, I petted his head, reassured him, then moved him onto the couch next to me with a firm command to “stay.” It took time but we kept at it. Reassurance, love, discipline. After a few days, I could command Spike to sit at my feet, stay, and be content that he was safe.

For the past twenty years I’ve served as the poster child for bumbling boaters, periodically contributing a column called Hard Aground to any boating publication willing to pay a few pennies. Here are a few nautical terms which you won’t find in Chapman’s book of seamanship. Running aground: The act of sounding the bottom with your boat’s keel. Chart: A nautical map that shows what you just hit. Bar: A long, low-lying spit of sand or mud, usually awash, used to snag a boat’s keel. Sailors in large numbers can be found on (and sometimes in) bars. Because of my vast experience in these matters, I know the relief a skipper feels when another vessel pulls near and offers a tow. Sometimes a hard tug is all it takes to get my boat floating again. But other times, like say when I’ve run out of fuel, sucked sand through the engine’s water pump, or fouled the plugs, a tug is not enough. At those times, I need a hug. In nautical terms, a hug is when a boat pulls along side, lashes itself to the stranded vessel, and powers the boat to a safe port. This is what Job did for his friends. He prayed for them and covered their folly with his righteousness and wisdom. In the preceding verses, God told Job’s friends: “I am angry with you because you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.” Job, a broken and bankrupt man, brought his friends before God and begged that God would have mercy on them.

Fields The whole Israelite community set out from the Desert of Sin, traveling from place to place as the LORD commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. Exodus 17:1 (NIV) You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him think. Horses aren’t the most intelligent animals on earth but they’re smarter than fish. For example, you hardly ever see a horse splashing in the water, bucking its back, and trying to throw a flashy fishing lure from its mouth. A bridle bit, sure, but a lure? Never. Now where was I going with this thought? Oh yeah. Horse sense and why the key to rodeo roping is keeping the horse between you and the ground. When it comes to intelligence, humans and apes rank near the top. In some elite circles apes are actually considered smarter than people, but then people are doing the judging—people who, by their own admission are dumber than apes. Makes you wonder why apes don’t become college professors, devise their own tests, and rank our intelligence. Now where was I going with this thought? Oh yeah. Common sense and why it’s not so common. I’ve been thinking about humans and horses and how we’re both led around by something. A bit, a sin, a nudge from God. During these past few months I thought I was following God’s voice. But when I reached my desert of sin, my camp in Rephidim, I found the springs dry. That’s what’s striking about this Exodus passage. God led His people to a dry hole.

Saturday morning I stood at the podium preparing to present (how’s that alliteration, class?) but the laptop refused to boot up. I pushed the on button, wiggled the plug in the power strip, and finally said: “That’s odd. It was working a second ago.” I wonder how many times Christ says the same thing about me. Peter: “Lord, what’s wrong with Eddie? Is he in sleep mode?” Jesus: “Beats me. He was working a while ago. Drove the homeless van, taught Sunday school, kept the web site up for the church. Now, nada.” Peter: “You want me to give him a hard reboot?” Jesus: “No. Let’s wait and see if he comes back on his own. Could be his battery’s shot.” Is your battery shot? Mine was after last weekend. Doing good deeds will wear you down. Loving folks will frustrate you. Serving others will often stretch you beyond your financial means, human skills, and emotional limits. So yeah, Monday, after a weekend of deeds, love, and faith-filled service, I was powered-down. Moments before I was about to say a bad thing to my laptop, Cindy bent down and lifted the power strip. “Here’s the problem, you nitwit.

If God didn’t come in Calvin Klein, Agner, or in a storefront at Tiffany’s, Tina just didn’t get it. I love nature. My best prayer times, the times I see God the clearest, are the moments I trail through a wooded path to a breathtaking view and the day I invited Tina to hike the Chimneys with our group, I never imagined what could happen. The climb was steep and two-thirds of the way up the mountain, the trail veered away from the river. Tina spent her time complaining about the bugs, whining that her feet hurt and grumbling the heat was causing her curls to droop. We stopped at an overlook to take in the view. Fingering with a daisy I’d plucked along the trail, I pulled it to my nose and sniffed in the sweet fragrance. “I just love daisies,” I said. “To me, they’re a continual promise that God renews His world every spring.” Tina flicked the white flower. “You need to give me something like that to love. I wanna have a special thing to love. Something besides the smell of new leather.” We’re blessed with much in this world. God’s love and promises seep from every crevice of the universe, but through all His amazing creativity, what He longs for is our acknowledgment of Him. Our love for Him. God delights in offering us mercy and peace. Hosea tried to help the people understand God preferred their relationship even over the sacrifices they might offer.

They should have named them awfuls.” If you’ve ever sailed a boat on a body of water larger than a duck pond then you understand what a volatile cocktail wind and water can be. The trick is learning to harness both for your benefit. On a sailboat this requires a sturdy winch. Note: A wench is a female taken aboard a ship as cargo—oftentimes to service the captain in ways a mere cabin boy cannot. A winch is a drum used to control the sheet. A sheet is a rope. If you’re confused, then what I’m about to say next won’t help. When a sailor wraps a sheet around a winch and pulls really, really hard, the boat sails into the wind. This is called sailing hard on. In the old days, like say when the term social networking actually meant you met people face-to-face in places like pubs, churches, and public hangings, sailors spent months, sometimes years, cruising the Caribbean islands, sunning on the foredeck, and coming up with unusual ways to say things like: “Hey, Dink. Your yardarm is swinging free. Might want to fix that.” Translation: “Hey, Dinglehoffer.

A few hours earlier God had told me to get off my knees, pick up my best friend, and drive across town to receive a new car. Now I leaned against the left front fender, admiring my reflection in its crimson hood. The salesman approached. He asked the question all salesmen ask when they see lust in the eyes of a customer: “What’s it going to take to put you in this vehicle?” “God,” I replied. “I don’t have any money. But God said if I came here, He’d…” The salesman escorted us off the lot. How do you hear God’s voice? I mean really hear Him? How do you hear that voice of assurance so clearly that you know the outcome before you act? Even a cursory read of Old Testament stories and the acts of Jesus shows that when God speaks, people move, change, and act. God’s whisper should propel us to go toward a place or person and it’s seldom for our benefit. The key, I believe, lies in the work done before God speaks… in the quiet moments before the miracle moment begins. For Jesus (who was Himself God) this meant rising early, before the pressing needs of the day burdened Him. Early, in the dark, outside his comfort zone, alone… he prayed. This is our pattern as well.

Ezra 3:11 My youngest turned twenty-one this week. Now he’s old enough to drink, vote, go to war, buy tobacco products, rent an apartment, open a bank account, and serve on a jury. (He still can’t rent a car.) He’s an adult, but he’s still my youngest, so as we celebrated his birthday with a game of bowling (not that “Wii” stuff), I reflected on his early years. Here are a few of his favorite sayings. “Guess I’m just not lucky.” “Yeah, you white.” “Tanks!” Translations: “Why can’t I have that cookie?” “Yeah, you’re right.” “Thanks!” “Tanks!” is perhaps my favorite. At that age he appeared so excited and appreciative. He still says thanks but not with the same energy. But who of us does? Giving “Tanks!” doesn’t rate high in the socially-networked world where everyone is texting — sometimes to the person sitting next to them — but few appear truly engaged. Perhaps that’s why I treasure these “thank you” cards sitting by desk. Most came from writers I met at conferences: words of appreciating from authors with devotions, books and novel ideas.

Three days she had waited. Three days of going without food. But no more. Dead. The word pierced her heart. Her gaze fell upon an empty bed. No need to watch for a miracle. None would come. The prayers and promises were nothing more than foolish hope. Wrapping a shawl around her shoulders, she shut the door and started toward the cemetery. They’d hoped he would be the one; the leader who would restore their nation to power. Now it was too late. Three days and still no word. How foolish to hope. Their eyes were upon the dusty road. No need to watch for a savior. None would come. He’d fished but caught nothing. No surprise there. This was the new economy. Emptiness.

One, toss the tree and buy another. Two, toss the tree and go with a fake one. Three, skip Christmas. Day five. Wife wants to retreat, regroup, and refit tree with new boot. I envision a rout. Day six in the Christmas Tree War. Amputation. With crude tools the wife removed a portion of the trunk. Carpet littered with green needles. Lights askew. Not a holly jolly Christmas yet. Day seven. Tree standing erect. Branches adorned with lights. Smell of Christmas in the air. We’ll see if this cease-fire holds. # The tree was dead before we brought it into the house. From the number of needles on the patio, dead for a long time. Still we watered it, dressed it in lights, covered it with silver balls, and hung our favorite ornaments on its branches.

We always clap, regardless of the gift. Receiving anything in and from my family warrants a cheer. Speaking of cheer, they'll be less of that this Christmas. The dining room will have one less place setting. Our fathers are gone, their patriarchal presence no longer anchoring the head of the table. The memories remain but it's not the same. Pictures and presents and stories of past holidays can't make up for the hole they left in our hearts. Love does that. It fills our mouths with sweetness. And when the richness of it is gone, when the vitality of a life is lost, we hunger for more. Nothing novel in that sentiment. "To have loved and lost..." and all that. God is love and allows us to love but the legacy of love can leave a bitter taste in our soul if we focus on the "not" instead of the "have." And yet, without the wanting - without the caring and living for and with a person - life has no flavor. Taste and see; sample and enjoy; feast but know it won't last.

Words have the power to change: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” to liberate: “I have a dream…” and to create life: “Honey, let’s make a baby.” I live in a world of words and “No” is the word I hear most often. “No” is an instructor suggesting I need more knowledge. “No” is the knot I cling to when I’m at the end of my rope. “No” is the rusty knob I grasp when the door of opportunity demands a shove. “No” is a word that inspired me to become a writer. “I’d like to say yes, but honestly, son, I don’t see anything in your transcripts that lead me to believe you can graduate from this university.” I sat in the admissions office of North Carolina State. Within a few weeks I would graduate from Millbrook High School and though I’d been accepted into another college, I already considered State my alma mater—even though I couldn’t spell “Alba Matter.” Now I sat in a cramped office hoping for a chance to pursue my dream. “Please, isn’t there some department that needs more students?” I asked.

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. – 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NLT) In this new economy with its high unemployment, constricted credit and shuttered homes it’s hard to find a silver lining but I’ve seen its ragged edge beneath the clouds of this financial storm. Today’s joys lie in the simple things, like the solitude of an orange orb rising over the pines and the rhythmic breathing of an infant nuzzled against its mother’s chest. It is here, at the edge of tomorrow, that the gray day bleeds red with the promise of warmth, light and hope. Economies may crash, our faith falter, but the planet continues to spin, unfurling a new day. How will you spend yours?... As our economy contracts we huddle in the fetal position clutching what’s left of our savings, scared of the future, forgetting that past. We are not the first to face gray days, only the first of this century. These are the labor pains of new life. We will survive but we will never be the same. The birthing process leaves stretch marks and scars. So how should we react to this latest storm? Here are ten facts that will not change. 1) The gulls do not store up for themselves fish and shrimp and yet they do not starve. If a bird can find food enough each day so can a man, woman and child. 2) We cannot alter the earth’s rotation or adjust the constellations in the sky and yet we live comfortably in our skin. Should the planet warm and seas rise we will adapt to our climate and move to higher ground. We always have.

Bruce stood behind a partition, waiting to go on stage. I stood beside him, straining to hear God’s voice. Neither of us spoke, but we both share a common bond: we’ve failed our way to success. Bruce explained to the audience of writers how his first magazine folded after just five issues. “When that first magazine ceased publication, I was certain of only one thing — I’d never produce another magazine.” Some months later Bruce did produce another periodical, albeit reluctantly. In 1978 Bruce launched Daily Walk and his ministry as a writer, speaker, and publisher exploded. “Had that first magazine succeeded, I might have been tempted to take credit for its success and that of Daily Walk. But that failure left no doubt in my mind as to who deserved the glory.” I, too, have launched and lost money in publishing ventures and each experience revealed the limits of my abilities and need for God in the planning process. What does it mean to create and fail in the thing God has called you to? What does it mean to begot and not have success? Abraham begot Isaac in his old age, but the pause between God’s promise and the fulfillment of His purpose through Abraham, spanned decades and caused him to doubt the accuracy of God’s vision, the faithfulness of His word, and the goodness of His plan. The day after I heard Bruce speak, I walked to the summit of Chimney Rock and stood on the mesa overlooking the terracotta stratus of New Mexico’s brown and tan mountains. A cold westerly wind drove me to the edge. This is the thing we fear: falling. We near the summit and recoil, afraid we’ll slip.

In the time it took to boot up my laptop, I buzzed Fayetteville, North Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, and crossed into Georgia. (I run a “WinBlows” operating system and have lots of free time on my hands, thank you very much, Bill Gates!) During this free time I read the safety card and was struck by how in life, as on airplanes, we are called to serve as examples during times of emergencies. For example: Here are the rules for exiting this aircraft in case of an emergency.“If you are seated in a row with direct access to an overwing exit, you may be called upon to open the exit window and help other passengers leave this aircraft.” (Check. As a Christian I’m to be a guiding light, a helping hand in times of trouble.) “In order to perform this task, please make sure you are able to complete the following functions.” (Roger that.

My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession.” Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.” He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said. He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to their dogs.” “Yes, Lord,” she said, “but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” Then Jesus answered, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour. Matthew 15:22-28 What do you do when God ignores you? Isn’t that the fear we live with — the nagging doubt that God really doesn’t notice, listen or love us? Worse: What if He’s not God at all but some superstitious myth passed down through the ages by anxious people seeking to make meaning out of desperate lives? The bills come due, the test results come back — none of the news good. So we follow the ritual set before us by pious individuals who promise that if we’ll simply pray, believe in God’s promises and trust Him, all our cares will melt away.

I’d leered, lusted and slept with women in my head long before I carried my bride to bed. Still do, sometimes. This temptation to roam — with my eyes, with my hands — is Man’s curse and Eve’s wound. Our ancestor, Adam, failed his mate, too. When Eve needed his strength and protection, he withdrew, cowered and covered his shame with blame. “That woman, she…” The legacy lingers. “But my wife. She refuses…I married an angel, I sleep with a witch… There’s nothing wrong with looking as long as you don’t touch…” Slowly Eve retreats into her shell convinced the lies whispered into her ears and stamped upon her broken heart are true. I’m not pretty, not worth loving, not worth fighting for. He won’t stay. They never do. How can I convince my wife she is lovely? How can I break through the husk holding her heart and kiss the scars that mark my failures as a man, husband, and lover? How can I kill the Curse of Adam and become the warrior God shaped me to be?

You understood. Of course you did. You were the frugal one, the one who set budgets and banked paychecks for unseen emergencies. So we shelved our travel plans, packing our dreams into folders marked “beach house,” “Europe,” and “Yosemite.” For a while we enjoyed weekends in cottages borrowed from friends. But the days were too few and besides, the boys needed us at scout meetings, on ball fields, and in the kitchen where you made our house a home. Here, look at this photo. Here you are sitting on the sea wall in St. Thomas. See that smile? See how, even with the glare of the tropical sun in your eyes, you’re still beaming with that carefree smile that now sags, thin and pale.

The birthday cards and scraps of paper remind me of lips I kissed and tears I dried before I met my bride. I don’t know if these relics of my broken heart are an act of unfaithfulness or simply a sad testimony to the passion a romantic who loved… and lost in the pursuit of puppy love. First Kiss: We met in her basement for our first kiss. Everything I knew about smooching I’d learned from the movie Love Story. Ryan O’Neal and Ali McGraw kissed a lot: mostly with their eyes closed. This seemed only natural since the idea of standing that close to anyone, much less a pretty girl, terrified me. But there we were, two high school freshmen preparing to seal our love with lips coated in ketchup and mustard and hot dog chili. I advanced; she moved. I hit a cinder block wall. My aim improved by I never fully recovered from the miss… our that fist kiss that came moments later. First Love: Like so many high school sweethearts our emotions ran hot and cold, off and on. We swapped love notes in hallways, lingering looks across cafeteria tables and class rings. I suppose we both knew it wouldn’t last but pretended it would, crafting names for our kids and careers that would allow us to travel.
