A Painting Pointing To The Potter (Isaiah 64:8)


"Jesus wept" (John 11:35). That's the shortest verse in the Holy Bible.

And this will probably be my shortest blog post. Above is a painting painted by a friend of my wife April's, a talented artist named Loretta Schroder of Big Bear City, California. In today's world where much of the "art work" we see is electronic, computerized and digitalized, it is SO refreshing to see an actual handmade painting on canvas, made with such great care by an actual human being's own hands.

This beautiful painting features 2 verses from God's Word, Jeremiah 1:5 and Isaiah 49:1 (look 'em up, they're in there). Enjoy gazing at it, and may you see (visually and spiritually) the finger of God!

Thanksgiving & The Rapture (And More Pro Wrestling Career Memories)!

Image
As I write this, it was exactly 15 years ago (November 18, 2008) when I got this nice message from one of my old cohorts from my days as a professional wrestling announcer...former pro wrestler Sonny Siaki:  What's up, Watanabe! Hope you are well. Just want to thank you for leaving a comment for Bernard. That meant a lot to us. Please keep us in your prayers and help spread my brother's story.  Thanks again and God bless, FA'AMALOSI (STAY STRONG) Sonny  During the time when Sonny Siaki sent me this message, Sonny decided to be the kidney donor for his brother, Bernard Siaki, who had Renal Kidney Failure. Due to this procedure, Sonny's doctor said he can no longer wrestle, and thus, Sonny retired from pro wrestling. However, in the process, Sonny saved his brother's life.  In this world with plenty of selfishness and cold hearts (2 Timothy 3:2-4, Matthew 24:12), my old pal Sonny Siaki is now a true champion. At the time that this news spread, the First Church Of The

K-WAVE 107.9 Now Also Delivers Truth & Hope On Los Angeles' AM 1110!

Image
My fellow KWVE/"K-WAVE" on-air colleagues & I are excited to be a part of a radio ministry team that made history just hours ago. Along with 107.9 FM, K-WAVE is also now heard on the legendary 50,000-watt powerhouse known as AM 1110 in Los Angeles! A few months ago, my employer Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa (founded by Pastor Chuck Smith) bought AM 1110 from The Disney Company for $5 million (a nice piece of cheese to a certain Mouse Factory, in what is not a Mickey Mouse deal). On Friday, September 8th, 2023, at 3:00 PM Pacific Time, AM 1110 made the switch from a Disney Company-owned sports talk format to a Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa-owned Christian talk/Bible teaching format. Among many others, my wife April was an "earwitness", telling me over the phone that she could hear K-WAVE loud and clear on AM 1110 while driving through the San Fernando Valley (where our 107.9 FM signal can be "spotty" in some areas). Now via a much stronger signal on AM 1110, K-

Bibles For The World Shares The Gospel Beyond The Next Mountain And Beyond

Image
Within the "profile" of this blog...the section where I say "Yes, it's me, the wrestling announcer dude!"...I mention that my favorite movie is "Beyond The Next Mountain", which reveals how God used one missionary's 5 day journey to turn a tribe of headhunters into Bible believing followers of Christ Jesus, which led to the formation of my favorite charitable organization, Bibles For the World, currently led by John Pudaite out of Colorado Springs, Colorado, carrying on his family's God-honoring legacy.  Just hours ago, my wife April & I (along with Bob & Betsy from Covina) had a splendid time of food and fellowship with John Pudaite at the Black Bear Diner in Fullerton, California (pictured above). Later on during the evening, April & I enjoyed listening to John and other speakers from various ministries at the edifying SoCal AWAKE! Conference at the Grace Church Fullerton Miracle Center. The Welsh missionary named Watkin Roberts w
