Status Quo, No More

Status Quo No More! (Mark 1: 1-8)   I was hired in Jefferson County as a Deputy Prosecutor in 2008.  The elected prosecutor was looking for an experienced trial attorney and I fit the bill due to my many years of criminal defense and prosecution in Texas.  I have to be honest with you, I [...]

Stay Alert

Stay Alert! (Mark 13: 21-37)   Well, you’ve already seen the signs to remind you that Christmas is right around the corner.  We’ve already had Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday to remind us to buy that much needed and desired gift while they last at that incredible low, low price.  Don’t wait [...]

How Can We Help

How Can We Help? (2 Corinthians 9: 1-15)   It’s that time of the year again, that time when it seems as if everyone has their hand out for a donation to a no doubt worthy cause.  It ranges from the mailouts that fill your mailbox from national organizations seeking a donation to their cause [...]

The Big One is Coming

The Big One is Coming (Matthew 25: 1-13)   When Teresa and I told her mother that we were moving to Washington State she said she could never live there because of all the earthquakes.  I gently reminded her that Texas and Mother Nature had more ways to kill you than I could count, such [...]

Keeping It Simple

Keeping it Simple (1 Thessalonians 2: 1-13)   In all the different careers I’ve had there was a basic approach and job description.  One that thankfully didn’t involve any math other than counting by tens, twenties, and hundreds.  Policing was pretty basic.  Answer your radio when called, take a report, conduct a basic investigation, and [...]

Polyticks

Polyticks (Matthew 22: 15-22)   In Texas the play-on-words description that we had for politics was: “Polyticks” as in many bloodsucking parasites.  And like every joke there was a kernel of truth behind the joke that made it all the funnier or tragically true.  And I can tell you that I know this from experience, [...]
