Walk With Darrell

This has been another great year for Terri and me. As we entered another year of retirement. We continued with our plan to travel. Terri and I have traveled close to 24,000 miles while visiting National Parks and 35 states. We have traveled from Texas to Maine to the Great Lakes and out west to the Rocky Mountains, Southwestern Deserts, and then to the Florida Keys. The three of us got along great and travel well together. You might ask, “what do you mean three of you”? We ha

As a Christian our walk with God is a journey of faith, and there will be times when our trust in God will be tested. There will be those days when your life will seem like you are in a storm and water, and winds of adversity are sweeping you away. Doubt threatens to crash down on you. It is at these times it is important to have a good foundation when everything around you is sinking. That foundation can be found in God’s Word during times of storms. God’s Word has all kind

Before He was arrested, tried, and crucified, Jesus used some of His final moments to encourage His followers to reaffirm and strengthen them. Jesus knew His mission on earth was to pay the price of our sins on the cross. As His time was coming to an end, He wanted to give words to encourage His followers. John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I sa

Loyalty is a precious quality that is underrated in our world we live in. Yet it is something we all need in our world today. Without it the fabric of our society would start to crumble. Without loyalty our families, businesses, communities, politics, and our nation weakens if not falls apart. Loyalty is simple… it means; I am going to stick with you and have your back through good times and bad times. We need that relationship that will never leave us during any storm. In Pr

How to Have a Relationship with Christ What is the way for us to have a relationship with God? Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me”. John 14:6 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. “For unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins” John 8:24 24 I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will

David was described as a man after God’s own heart. David wasn’t perfect by any means, but he did strive to walk close to God. Even with David’s ups and down he wanted to always restore his relationship with God. Sometimes we can fool ourselves into thinking I am doing OK, everything is right with God when actually it might not be. David courageously asked God to conduct an internal evaluation This was a brave request considering God knows all things, even that which we hide

Galatians 5:26 (NIV) 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. A dangerous path for a person to go down is to envy over what others have. We must guard ourselves of the natural tendency to have jealousy or resentment over others good fortune. God warns us that envy is a sin. As believers we have absolutely no reason to be envious of anyone on earth. As a believer in Christ, we have already received the greatest gift of eternal life. For those that have
