Never Sleeps

While a pastor on the Fort Berthold Reservation I was honored with the Indian name, "NeverSleeps". It was primarily because I was often responding to particular needs in the middle of the night.

Even more relevant, the Lord Himself, Maker of all, "Never Sleeps".

Surely you know.
Surely you have heard.
The Lord is the God who lives forever,
who created all the world.
He does not become tired or need to rest.
No one can understand how great his wisdom is.

Isaiah 40:28

Welcome to every reader. I am a simple follower of Jesus. He is perfect, I often fall short.

One Breath


One Breath

(“The Spirit of the Lord is in me. This is because God chose me to tell the Good News to the poor. God sent me to tell the prisoners of sin that they are free, and to tell the blind that they can see again. God sent me to free those who have been treated unfairly, and to announce the time when the Lord will show kindness to his people.” Luke 4:18-19)

One breath is the same as the next breath,
oxygen and CO2. Babies and prisoners,
muslims and christians,
immigrants and presidents,
technicians and politicians,
beggars and moguls,
capitalists and socialists,
pilots and pedestrians,
teachers and pupils,
travelers and tour guides,
dying and birthing,
sinners and saints,
the Messiah and myriads,
foolish and serious.

So if the Spirit leads you,
she will lead you to the ones whose breath is just a little more
labored than your own.

and the time when our God will punish evil people.
