Mama Was A Worry Wort
Mama was a worrier. Yeah, she worried about everything. If she didn’t have something to worry about she would search for something to worry about. God rest her soul, mama doesn’t have to worry any more. Somehow, mama missed the concept that God is sovereign over all...
The ENEMY Has Spoken…Proving My Point!
If I may revert to my genuine vernacular, “I ain’t nobody special”. I’m just a hairy legged, country boy from Northeast Louisiana with a passion for God. I write a simple, insignificant blog that no one knows about (yet) to encourage people and help them find their...
Dreams That Boil My Blood
I had a dream, just a little while ago, just before Christmas. It was most vivid, horrifying, and real. So real, in fact, that I woke up mad! Now, it’s been a long time since I’ve been THIS mad! I was so mad that I got up out of bed and walked into my office. It was...
Let Me Speak of War Pt. 3
Let me speak of war. I’ve covered the necessity of identifying the enemy in Part 1. I’ve discussed the strategic preparation of going to battle in Part 2. In this post, I’ll talk about the tactics and resources involved not only in meeting the enemy but overcoming the...
Let Me Speak of War Pt. 2
Strategy is an important part of any battle, providing you understand who or what you are fighting against. Strategy can be defined as, “the art of planning and directing military operations and movements in a war or battle.” That’s all well and good. Before...
Let Me Speak of War Pt.1
War has been waged on this earth as long as man has recorded history. War has been a part of the way things are since before recorded history, I suspect. Wars have been waged and fought for several reasons. Wars have been fought for power, freedom, resources, mere...
We Ain’t Begging!
Just a few moments ago I posted a “Life Lesson” on FB that reflects on the misconceived notions of most people regarding their finances. I feel that, perhaps, I may not have done justice to the subject at hand so I’ll elaborate a little further here. I believe it is...
A Tribute to My Amazing Wife
As I sit down to write this, I realize that Swede and I have been married twenty-one years, eleven weeks, 3 days, and 6 hours. It really does not seem that long. It seems like only yesterday that we exchanged those sacred wedding vows. Like everyone else, our marriage...
Who Am I
Who am I? Well, my name is Lonnie Joe Richardson, but that’s just the name my mother and dad gave me when I was born. Me? I ain’t nobody special by the world’s standards. I’m just like millions of other people on this earth who struggle day in and day out to make a...
You Have Not Seen ANYTHING …. Yet!
A new day will be dawning soon. The day will come soon when a body will come to life. The body has been resting, recuperating, and healing. Gone are the programs and dog/pony shows. The time has come for working and fighting to advance God's Kingdom. The work is not...
