“…whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.” (Ecclesiastes 10:8) “He’s a snake!” Recently, I stopped by to see a friend from our former church.  In our conversation, I shared a bit about our experiences and mentioned the name of one of the individuals directly involved in pushing us out of the church.  When…

Dear Reader, First, I would like to thank you for taking time come to our site and to read any of these posts, some of which are indeed disconcerting.  This particular post is to answer any who may wonder:  “Why criticize churches?” or “Why don’t you just move on, forgive and forget?” or “Why name…

We’re looking forward to putting out our experiences so that others might be helped!  Stay tuned for titles such as: “Not Good With It” “The Dinosaur Man’s Here!” “Saved By Dinosaurs” “That Was Not Professional!” “Goin’ Overboard” “Why Don’t They Get it?” “A Divorce Over Marriage” “Butts in the Pews” “Sidetracked By Satan?” “Kicked Out!”…

Dear Reader, This has been a long time in coming!  Through this series of Telltale posts, it is NOT my intention to seek revenge against any individuals or our former church, or even to vent frustration about negative situations.  God said “Vengeance is Mine…” (Romans 12:19).  Most people follow an accepted practice of quietly leaving…

“What comes to mind when you think of creation?” I ask you, dear reader, what comes to your mind when you think of creation? Perhaps Genesis 1:1 or the book of Genesis as a whole, or maybe some aspect of nature itself, or perhaps one of several excellent creation ministries that exist today? Would you…

As I write this the beginning of Thanksgiving Week, all of what I’m sharing in these posts comes down to gratitude in all things, as the Scripture says: “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18) Truthfully, as I write these blogs detailing personal…

“I’m calling to disinvite you to the fair.” We were in the northwestern state of WA after serving at Onion Days when I heard those words. It was an unforgettable call from a disgruntled pastor in Payson, UT who didn’t like a decision we’d made! About 10 times over the years, we have been blessed…

“High 5:00” Texting unexpectedly came in more frequently and with more urgency … “We need to meet before you leave.”  “You must come at 5 pm.” We’d packed our rig and stopped truck and trailer to visit Jesse the treasurer and confirm with him about a desired meeting with church leadership that was to take…

I really don’t like being a nay-sayer. I like being a YEA-sayer! 🙂 “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen…” (2 Corinthians 1:20) I recently saw this post on Facebook, which on the surface sounds good. However, when I thought about it and read it more closely, I…

This unique post is shared as a Biblical response to wrongdoing, taken from the examples given to us in the Word of God, namely the writings of apostles Paul and John.  This poem is an accurate representation of what actually happened in 2020, and we sincerely care and pray for the individuals involved.  We read…
