We’re in a race for our lives; intimate fellowship with God is the finish line.  Let’s run straight, run for all we’re worth, and receive all that He has prepared for us.

If I’d Known Then What I know Now May 28, 2025

When I was young

my father told me,

“Seek wisdom, get an education,

and make something of your life.”

But I refused to listen,

instead I went my own way.

Years later

when I finally heard what he said,

I followed his advice,

and found that he’d tried to steer me

away from many mistakes

false starts and dark paths

I made and toward a goal,

that ultimately

led me to

live a life

that satisfies me.

Thanks Dad.

In “Cheating on God” S5 / E5 of I Took a Right Turn: Robert and Rosalie start of talking about how important it is to listen to God, To wait to hear from Him and then wait for the right time to do what He says.  Timing, as is often said, is everything.  Next, they sing a medley well-known songs: He is Lord, This is the Day, How Great is Our God, and Amazing Grace.  This is followed by one of our homegrown songs: I Was a Dreamer.  Opening to James 4:4-6we see that our God is a jealous God and He wants our complete attention as well as our obedience.  Robert then reads the poem “If I Knew Then What I Know Now” from his Second book of Poetry, Floating Through Time.  Each episode this season includes a poem from this book. 

The text of these readings is posted the day after the release of each episode at www.itookarighturn.com  All of Robert’s forty books are available in paperback and kindle through Amazon.  We also invite everyone to visit our online art store, The Pair a Docs Shop where we offer our original paintings, prints and merchandise.

Secret sins aren’t a secret to us.  They are a cancer in our inner life and a barrier to God’s blessing.

When we speak ill of others, we waste time and words that could be glorifying God.

God is in charge of everyone’s destiny, when we try to manipulate others, we are playing God.

From Nothing to Something May 21, 2025

Anyone who professes to believe,

that the universe sprang into being

through an impersonal creation event

faces the problem of individual personality.

How does personality evolve,

from impersonality?

With no basis for belief

this inevitably leads to a leap of faith.

A leap of faith

is believing in something,

that makes no sense,

and that

doesn’t fit either the facts of nature,

or observable reality.

Logic doesn’t move,

from nothing to something.
