John 9:26. A blind man has received his sight from Jesus. The Pharisees have asked him several times if this is actually true. They ask him more time to tell them how and the man says “You must want to become followers of Jesus?” The Pharisees are furious and state they are…

My wife Lauren was biking on the Upper Tampa Bay Trail near Citrus Park today. They found two beautiful, friendly German Shepherds and took them to the Humane Society. We’re praying the owner will claim them in the next 3 days before they are put up for adoption.

John 9:13. Jesus has just healed a man who had been blind his whole life. But the Pharisees aren’t happy because Jesus made a mud ointment on the Sabbath. They considered that “work” so they felt the healing was demonic. But many people disagreed. They knew this was miraculous.…

In John Chapter 9 Jesus encounters a man who was born blind and his disciples want to know why? If problems are a result of sin was this man punished before he did anything? Was it a punishment for his parents? Jesus says neither. This man’s blindness is an opportunity for God…

After 10 weeks the playoff picture is clearing up in the AFC. 6 teams have separated from the pack. Pitt-Balt fighting for North title & Chargers in good shape for Wild Card. Den, Cin, Indy fighting for last spot. Not as clear in NFC. Atlanta is the only team with a 2 game lead…

In John 8:31 Jesus tells His followers He came to set them free. The people immediately push back, saying as Jewish descendants of Abraham they have never been enslaved. But Jesus is not talking about worldly slavery. In vs 34 He says they have been slaves to sin. He goes on to…

After proclaiming that He is the Light of the World Jesus makes a curious statement in John 8:21. He says He will be leaving them and they will not be able to find Him. They won’t be able to follow Him. The crowds have no idea what Jesus is talking about so He has to explain it…

Fundamental football in the clutch Washington defense offsides on 4th-1. Pittsburgh is not going to snap the ball. Denver FG team-KC blocks game winning FG. Brings back memories of Chuck Noll talking to our Steelers teams in the 1970s. Champions don’t do extraordinary…

I finally got a Sunday morning walk in. Found a beautiful path in downtown Houston called the Buffalo Bayou Walk. Historic & pretty. Since I was here I listened to some Texas praise music from @israelhoughton & @kirkfranklin Also @taurenwells Thank you guys for blessing me and…

In John 8:12 Jesus makes His 2nd “I Am” statement. He says “I am the light of the world.” Earlier He said He was the bread of life. That made the Israelites reflect back to being fed bread from heaven in the wilderness during the Exodus. This Light Of The World statement leads…

Butler Bulldogs get another W to go to 8-2 with a 24-17 victory over Valparaiso Way to go Dawgs!

In John chapter 8 Jesus is back at the Temple teaching. Suddenly He is interrupted by a group of religious leaders & Pharisees who have brought a woman to Him. In vs 4 they say they’ve caught her in the act of adultery and they want to know what Jesus prescribes? They contend…

I have painful memories of DeMeco Ryans as a rookie in 2006. He was something special and he’s something special as a coach too. His Texans will have their hands full, though,with the red hot Detroit Lions on @SNFonNBC

John 7:40—Jesus has just told the crowds in Jerusalem that He has “living water” for them but some things He’s said have the crowd questioning. Just who is this man who’s doing these miracles but talking so strangely? Some people thought Jesus was the long-awaited Prophet whom…

Yes I was blessed to get to spend a little time with CJ Stroud today at the Texans practice. He is an amazing young man. A tremendous talent but a great role model as well.

John 7:37–it’s the last day of the Festival of Shelters and people are taking sides on this man Jesus. He has made some bold claims. Some believe Him but others are skeptical. Now Jesus makes His closing statement. He says if anyone is thirsty, come to Him. This quite a claim.…

This was an awesome night @RobMaaddi Thanks for the invitation.

John 7:25-Jesus has been preaching during the Festival of Shelters in Jerusalem and questions about his identity have begun to swirl. Locals have heard the authorities want to execute him for blasphemy. Now they wonder why He can speak freely and not be arrested? “Maybe he is…

The polls are closed in Florida and Amendment 3 and Amendment 4 both failed to pass. Thank you to all the Florida residents who helped to protect the lives of the unborn. And we want people to realize that those expectant mothers who need help will still be able to get it.…

John 7:10-Jesus heads to the festival of shelters quietly because he knows the Jewish religious leaders are trying to kill him. Their complaint is He violated Old Testament law by healing a man on the Sabbath. People have seen and heard about his miracles, but their opinions…
