How Do You Sink a Mighty Ship?

July 26, 2017

Recently, I was looking through the list of some of my most-viewed posts of all-time and much to my surprise, the post below appeared near the top of the list.  Originally written back in 2012,  it speaks to an issue we all need to be aware of: THE POWER OF LITTLE SINS.

They might be small, but they are deadly!

The Power of Prayer

February 7, 2014

One day I was sitting on my recliner in the living room and as I was looking outside at the backyard, I fell asleep. While sleeping, I had this vision:

I saw a lion hiding in a bush in the backyard.  I was afraid of him and I instantly started praying and making the sign of the cross.

I then picked up the phone to call for help.  I tried many times to call but no one answered the phone.  The lion came out of the bush and came near the door of the living room where I was sitting. I was very afraid as he came closer to the door and I kept praying and making the sign of the cross.

I called again and again for help but no one responded to my call.  My wife and my son came and tried to close the door of the room but they couldn’t.  The lion pushed the door and came inside the room. I kept on praying and making the sign of the cross.

Watch Out for the Giant Mushrooms

August 9, 2012

Giant mushrooms!  Yep, that’s right.  That’s what you see.  That’s a real photo that I took yesterday of three giant mushrooms that are currently growing in my front yard and scaring my neighbors’ kids from coming near my property.

The strange thing is that:

a)     I’ve been in this house for more than 3 years now and I’ve never before had a problem with mushrooms

b)     Those mushrooms weren’t there at all last week.

c)      I saw a little baby mushroom start to come up 2 days ago, but I have no idea how they got so big so fast!

Just so you get some perspective on exactly how large those mushrooms are, I took a picture of one of the mushrooms next to a standard 16 oz bottle of water and another picture next to my size 11 running shoes.  WOW!

There’s a lesson to be learned here.  The lesson is about the inherent danger of sin and the way sin grows in our lives.  If you’re not careful, you may wake up one day and find yourself with a giant problem on your hands that came out of nowhere.

But I have never had a problem with that kind of big sin before.
