Welcome to REV'D

As I sat patiently watching a train pass I noticed that the majority of the cars had been “tagged” with graffiti. I began wondering why we humans feel so strongly that we must leave our mark on this world. What I came up with is it is because we need to let people know we were here.

Walking through a grave yard I noticed the dates on a tombstone; 1927-1990. For many the mark we leave is the dash between two dates.

Maybe that is what this blog is about . . . leaving my mark somehow.

Does That Always Work?

Does that always work?

Mark 11:24 NKJ
"Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

I remember one time in my life that I prayed and believed and didn’t receive. What happens when God doesn’t answer our prayers? Should we quit praying?

In that instance in my life, I put myself in a situation where I had to have a miracle to get me out of it. We seem to have a tendency to do that don’t we? I didn’t get the answer even though I had all the faith in the world. The result was a crisis of faith in my life. But through that experience I learned a valuable lesson.

Simply put . . .don’t be stupid. Use your head, don’t get yourself in those messes. God is a miracle working God but I don’t believe for a minute that He is running a janitorial service just to clean up our messes.
