What happens when God shows mercy to someone you don't think deserves it? Jonah chapter 4 presents one of the most challenging endings in Scripture. After Nineveh repents and receives God's mercy, Jonah becomes angry—not because God failed, but because God forgave. This message highlights the dangers of resentment, the struggle to extend grace to those who have hurt us, and how God desires to transform our hearts just as much as He transforms others.
Written By: Ken Hulsey Many of you are undoubtedly familiar with the legends of Bigfoot and all of his ape-like kin who are reported to dwell in the numerous remote wilderness areas and swamps throughout North America. These vast areas where man seldom treads provide a perfect refuge for these creatures, where food and water are plentiful and protection from the elements is readily available.
Written By Ken Hulsey This has been a profoundly sentimental week for me. It all started when I discovered that an old friend from my church congregation used to live in my hometown of Whittier, California. Before the first service, I found myself reminiscing about the local landmarks with her, which stirred up a deep sense of homesickness. From that point on, everything I encountered seemed to trigger memories of my California roots. It probably doesn't help that I frequently wander around Louisiana wearing my Dodgers baseball cap.
Written by Ken Hulsey Yesterday, while driving home from work, Randy Newman's 1983 hit "I Love L.A." came up on my Spotify playlist. As I listened to the lyrics, I was hit by an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. It's amazing how music can transport us back to the time when we first heard a song. These moments become part of our collective memory and carry a sentimental significance that evokes cherished feelings and memories.
Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey For most of my young life, I believed that somewhere out there was some undiscovered island, secluded jungle oasis, or even a vast underground cavern that had been preserved for millions of years. The main inhabitants of this primeval world would be none other than real living dinosaurs waiting to be discovered by some explorers or a team of scientists .
Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey Since Monday was Memorial Day and I had some free time, I decided to head to the Fort Buhlow Recreation Area for a morning hike. I have been working on taking better care of myself and getting more exercise lately, so the cool morning air—without the usual humidity—provided a great opportunity to enjoy some of Louisiana's beautiful scenery.
If you have ever traveled from Los Angeles to Las Vegas via the I-15 freeway, you have probably noticed the name "Calico" formed out of white rocks atop a mountain just outside of Barstow. If you were curious enough to detour off the highway for an hour or so to discover what those rocks were all about, you would uncover an otherworldly site that was once a silver mining town. The structures here range from traditional Western dwellings to others built directly into the rocky hills, which would look just as much at home on Mars as they do in the California desert.
Photo and Story by Ken Hulsey About ten years ago, I prayed a very deep and heartfelt prayer for God to change me. At that particular time in my life, I was very unhappy with how my life was going, and I was honestly seeking a new direction and purpose. It was without a doubt the most honest and straightforward prayer of my life.
Written By Ken Hulsey Have you ever felt like the universe is trying to send you a message? For me, it’s been all about Del Taco over the past three days. It all started when my wife was reminiscing about Taco Tuesdays, where you could snag three tasty tacos for just $1.49 (I still remember when it was only 99 cents!). Then, yesterday, I was listening to a radio station from Albuquerque, KDRF 103.3 eD FM, and I heard a commercial bragging about how Del Taco now has twenty items for under $2. Crazy, right?
