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.

Skeletons and CPR

“Then he said to me, ‘Prophesy to the wind. Prophesy, human, and say to the wind, ‘This is what the Lord God says: Wind, come from the four winds, and breathe on these people who were killed so they can come back to life.’”  So I prophesied as the Lord commanded me. And the breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, a very large army.” Ezekiel 37:9, 10

I served a number of years as chaplain for our local Emergency Services. Every person on the crew was a volunteer and often was called out in the middle of the night to assist a crisis. From an elderly woman who stumbled down her stairs to a teenage girl with third degree burns over 70 percent of her body, these men and women showed themselves heroes time and time again. It was a privilege to serve them in their own hours of spiritual need.
