Prayer Is An Inspiring Conversation!

And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. —Matthew 21:22

Prayer is not merely a ritual or a routine; it is a sacred two-way conversation between our Creator and us. As Christians, we are blessed to have a heavenly Father who not only hears our prayers but actively responds to them. This profound promise from Jesus, “All things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive,” serves as a powerful reminder of the potency of faith combined with earnest prayer.

The King They Didn’t Expect: Crowd Faith vs Committed Faith | Journey Church | Pastor James W Greer

On Palm Sunday, the crowds shouted, "Hosanna! Save us now!" as Jesus rode into Jerusalem. They celebrated Him like a king, but only days later, many of those same voices cried, "Crucify Him." Why did this happen? Because Jesus wasn’t the king they expected. 

Returning to the Lair of the Fouke Monster - The Legend of Boggy Creek and Beyond | Ken Hulsey

I, like many others, first became fascinated with the infamous "Fouke Monster" in the 1970s when the film "The Legend of Boggy Creek" was released in theaters and drive-ins across the country. Although I didn't see the movie until it aired as a Saturday afternoon feature on a local TV station in the 1980s, the original trailer had a lasting impact on my young and impressionable mind—it scared the crap out of me. A big, hairy creature reaching through windows to grab young girls (the Fouke Monster doesn't hold a candle to King Kong), girls screaming, guns firing, people chasing the monster, the monster chasing people-all set in what looked like the creepiest place on Earth: Boggy Creek. I hid under my bed until I was ten!

From Rails to Roads: Celebrate Albuquerque's Historic Journey at the Route 66 Roads & Rails Festival

The Unseen Connections: How Railroads Shaped Albuquerque's Spirit Before Route 66

For railroad history buffs, the evolution of cities often reveals a story of interconnectedness, especially in the American Southwest, where the rise of the railroad preceded the fame of highways like Route 66. Before it became a symbol of adventure and the freedom of the open road, Albuquerque was transformed by iron rails that forged the city’s economic and cultural identity.

Unlocking the Path: Embracing the Hidden Miracles in Everyday Life | Ken Hulsey

Life is a journey marked by various seasons, each with its unique challenges and blessings. There are times when we feel an intense fire within us, fueling our passions and driving us forward. Conversely, there are moments when we feel frozen, grappling with uncertainty and doubt. Navigating the peaks and valleys of our existence can be daunting, but faith is the key that unlocks our path. It acts as the enduring glue that binds our experiences together, even during times when we feel disoriented.

A Nostalgic Journey Down Route 66 - From F Troop to Forgotten: The Rise and Fall of Fort Courage | Ken Hulsey

I have thoroughly enjoyed reminiscing about my days in the Southwest over the past couple of months. In my previous posts, I've focused a lot on my experiences in California, New Mexico, and, to some extent, Texas. However, I feel bad for neglecting the great state of Arizona. I often referred to it as "the great land in between" the states I once called home. Although I never lived there, I spent a significant amount of time traveling down the famous Route 66 and later Interstate 40 through Arizona. I have wonderful memories of looking out the window, eating at roadside diners, and stopping at countless tourist traps during family summer vacations.

Navigating Insecurity: Cultivating Confidence Through Spiritual Grounding

 Mastering Emotions: Taking Control for Healthier Relationships

In an increasingly chaotic world, our emotions can genuinely influence the quality of our relationships and overall well-being. It’s crucial to own and lead our emotions; otherwise, they may take charge of our lives, leading us down paths of dissatisfaction and conflict. As mentioned in Philippians 4:11, we have the power to control our responses and states of mind. This is especially important because true, lasting happiness stems from being nurtured by the Spirit, as described in Galatians 5:22-23.

From Family Lore to Reality: The Untold Story of My Dad's Bigfoot Encounter | Ken Hulsey

Over the years, I have been compiling stories about Bigfoot from eyewitnesses and writing articles about them. The most notable of these was co-written with my wife, Terri, and is titled "A Brief History of Bigfoot in Southern California." That piece was featured on the official Anza-Borrego Desert Park website at one point. Throughout my years of researching the Sasquatch mystery, I never realized that I had grown up in the same house as someone who had their own sighting.

When God Is Working in the Dark | Just a Though | Pastor Steve Smothermon

Most of us carry a picture in our minds of how life is supposed to go. You try to make good decisions. You follow God. You try to live right. And somewhere in the back of your mind, you assume life will move forward in a predictable direction. You think, if I obey God, things will make sense. But sometimes life goes off script. The plan falls apart. The future you imagined disappears.
