Freedom to Create

September 11, 2013

Matthew 3:16-17 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well […]

I Shall Supply Your Needs

July 8, 2013

Job 12:12 Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?   When I was much, much younger I looked at the world through a different pair of eyes.

My Great Uncle, Raymond Pruitt wore numerous hats and was dubbed with many names: Beekeeper, Naturalist, Pap, Daddy, Preacher, Whiskey Maker, Bible Scholar, Farmer, Backwoodsman, Hunter, Eccentric, Trapper, Herb Digger, and the man who built his house around a city bus.   My first memories of Uncle Raymond date back to the early 60?s when […]

Arise and Call Yourself Blessed

June 18, 2013

Psalm 39:4-5 Show me, O Lord, my life?s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life. You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man?s life is but a breath. ? I am so glad that I […]
