I was talking with a pastor from India this week and was amazed at all the things the Lord was doing in India. I was instantly reminded of how easy I have it here in America. It spawned a thought about what I would do if I could change places with someone in India and […]

Shake The Dust Off That Gift!
Today, I feel blessed. Why you ask? What makes today the day that stirs you up, you say? I am so thankful! I have been blessed by the Lord with a certain gifting that has allowed me to be used by the Lord in a dynamic way. I get so much joy out of seeing […]

Lift Those Folks Up
We at the Great Plains Poet ministries, feel very strongly about helping others in need no matter what their station is in life. I felt compelled today, through all the physical pain, to write this quick poem. I know it is not my best work but I feel the sentiment is very strong and gets […]

Its effects are all over the land and are a drain upon the Lord’s people. Therefore, we need to stick together, live in unity, and have each other’s backs. If we […]

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”-James 1:17(ESV) A famous conservative republican used to say during his daily radio show that he had: “Talent on loan from God.” I used to find that statement […]
My Rebellious Heart!!
“Submission is a heart attitude towards authority, whereas obedience is an action…When we submit we will be obedient. But just because we are obedient does not mean we have truly submitted to authority.”-K.P. Yohannan: Touching Godliness through submission. Up until a couple of years ago, I have always had a problem truly submitting to authority. […]
