Saturday, September 18, 2010. The Movie Heaven's Rain. Friday evening Paul and I went to the Bricktown movie in downtown OKC. Paul had read about the movie Heaven's Rain. That was opening and showing. We later found out that it was only showing in four cities in the US. This is a picture of the real Brooks Douglas and Leslie Douglas, brother and sister. The movie is very well done and the guy who plays Brooks Douglas is a well-known actor now appearing on Miami Medic, a TV show. Brooks Douglas plays his ...

2Partners: OK State Fair 2010
http://2partners.blogspot.com/2010/09/ok-state-fair-2010.html
Saturday, September 25, 2010. OK State Fair 2010. Friday we had arranged with Mom to be at her house at 2 pm and pick her up for the fair. I called her at 1 to make sure she felt like going. Her response was, "Well.I'm not sure, but I'm going to try." So, I wasn't sure, but we drove out to her house anyway. Paul dropped us at the gate and we waited while he found the wheelchair rental and came back with a chair. Mother enjoyed the ride and would point and comment as we went along. An older man and his so...

Saturday, December 27, 2014. ENDING THE YEAR WITH A STRONG SUGGESTION. I'm known as a rebel by many who know me well and after this post I may also be known as a cynic. Although I think that would miss the mark of reality a bit. I'm saying this because I want to address something that has bothered me for several years now and seems to be getting worse instead of better. It is the use of what I call Christian-ese. My basic concern with all this is Three-fold. It seems to me when we Christians develop our ...

vtmbottomline: WWJD IN THE ELECTIONS OF 2016?
http://vtmbottomline.blogspot.com/2015/07/wwjd-in-elections-of-2016.html
Tuesday, July 07, 2015. WWJD IN THE ELECTIONS OF 2016? It caught on years back at least in the religious world. It sure sounds spiritual enough. [What Would Jesus Do? It also seems true that concerning some [if not a lot] of the modern situations we face today the scriptures appear to be somewhat vague, if not silent, on giving specific directions as to what to do in those modern situations. What has caught my attention, however is the use of the " WWJD. He'd be more like the Democrats. In fact, did He e...

Wednesday, October 22, 2014. HUMAN NATURE BEING WHAT IT IS. I've noticed something. People are people. It generally doesn't matter if they call themselves Christians or atheists or Democrats or Republicans or ministers or Americans. They still act like people and with human nature being what it is, that's quite a story. Case in point. Watch people angrily react to what they perceive as failure and go to the opposite end of the spectrum in order to correct it. Talk about overkill. Registration fee of twen...

Saturday, January 31, 2015. IN CHRIST BARRIERS ARE TRULY GONE. Galatians 3:28 says."There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." [NIV]. I sure like the following paragraph from a much longer editorial by Columnist Walter Williams who is himself an African-American journalist. It seems to me he nailed it. I thank him for doing so. Our text at the top says it all. It goes without saying that for Christians the race issue is settled. Anyone who names...

vtmbottomline: November 2014
http://vtmbottomline.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 25, 2014. A GUEST POST FROM CHERRI MOXLEY [My Daughter]. There is something about being around someone who LOVES what they are doing - at that moment - whatever it is. I love the following illustration of Sharing the Joy in whatever you choose to do - from SIMPLE TRUTHS:. How did this begin? But I thought - what can I do since I'm just a bagger? Then I got an idea! When we bring our heart to the task, not only will those around us feel special and served, but they may pass it on too!

Thursday, May 29, 2014. WHAT IS A TRUE SOUL MATE? FIFTY-FIVE YEARS BECOMING SOUL MATES. The quote below about soul mates is not mine, with the exception of a very minor adaptation near the end, but that said, I do believe the speaker nailed what Mary and I have experienced together in a ma rriage of fifty-five years, becoming true soul mates. But like everything else in our lives, I think it came about in a different manner than we expected. The quote says it well. But fifty-five years later ours has bec...

Tuesday, September 30, 2014. LOVING ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE THE KINGDOM WAY. I've NEVER attempted to counsel people. Guilty of sexual sins. In the pastoral counseling I've done, and I've done a ton of it,. Now reread the opening sentence of the first paragraph if you will and notice the operative word, "appropriate.". I'm sure not saying so-called Christians SHOULD have the same attitude toward the latter. I'm saying so-called Christians SHOULD NOT have that attitude toward the former. Things like gender, ra...
