The Lion's Roar Posted on January 18, 2010 by LarryJanuary 18, 2010

If I worked hard enough I suppose I could find you. If I cared as much as I’m about to say that I do, maybe I would. The last I knew you were not doing well and had decided not … Continue reading →

The Lion's Roar Posted on November 21, 2009 by LarryNovember 21, 2009

As much as I hate to admit it, I could actually use some sleep right now, which is why I’m not writing about what I really would like to today. I look forward to Heaven and a glorified body. I … Continue reading →

Getting Mobilized

The Lion's Roar Posted on August 26, 2009 by LarryAugust 26, 2009

Last week I got a new cell phone. I’ve wanted one for some time now because I want to be able to read text messages. Really I just want to be able to use all the features of my phone … Continue reading →

Getting All Emotional

The Lion's Roar Posted on August 15, 2009 by LarryAugust 15, 2009

I don’t know that it’s good to publish things like this, but if I can detach myself from it a little I find the questions interesting. How did God intend our emotions to work? What roll should they play in … Continue reading →

If I Could Just Answer This Question

The Lion's Roar Posted on July 14, 2009 by LarryJuly 14, 2009

The below paragraph is excerpted and modified from my prayer journal this morning. If you’re dropping in for the first time, this will make more sense when taken with previous entries. To provide minimal background, I am legally blind, my … Continue reading →

Seeking Vision

The Lion's Roar Posted on April 19, 2009 by LarryApril 19, 2009

In the last few years I have taken to writing in my journal in the form of prayers to Yahweh. This is what I wrote today. Because it relates to some things I have said here recently, I decided to … Continue reading →

A Good Thing

The Lion's Roar Posted on February 28, 2009 by LarryFebruary 28, 2009

He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD. (Prov 18:22 NASB) If it’s in the Bible, it hast to be true, right? I don’t think it’s a stretch to read many of the … Continue reading →

Fakeup

The Lion's Roar Posted on February 21, 2009 by LarryFebruary 21, 2009

Age and Death

The Lion's Roar Posted on February 8, 2009 by LarryFebruary 8, 2009
