Fortunately, writer's block has not yet been a problem for me.

At this stage of my vocation, I have the opposite problem: too many ideas and outlines and not enough time and energy. Caring for my wife—who has stage-four lung cancer in both lungs, and severe, advanced rheumatoid arthritis—is my top priority during this season of our 41st year of marriage. She's my treasure.(less)

Asleep in Seattle and Portland

Blessed are the peace makers.





Peaceful protesting is an American right. No one objects to peaceful protesting. PEACEFUL!!





But while we sleep, dangerous factions are at work in our cities and two cities in particular are in my thoughts today. I’ve been in both cities and have valued my time there. Past leaders made them thrive and kept them safe.





How are the peaceful citizens, the law-ab

Quotes by David C. Alves  (?)

“The Key to Staying Focused is to know what to Eliminate and then Doing so.”
David C Alves

“Disciples of Jesus Christ have had a profound life-altering experience. They have encountered a supernatural personality, revealed in history as Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, the Messiah. And they have discovered the meaning and purpose of their lives in the subsequent revelation of his continuing presence to them. The experience demands a faithful, reliable witness.

What would public opinion say of a person who discovered the absolute cure for AIDS, but was unwilling to share that cure with a world that so desperately needs it? What if the antidote were kept hidden and made use of by only the discoverer and his family? We would consider it an moral outrage and he or she would be infamous. Why? We expect the cure to be shared, not only shared, but made available to all as soon as possible!”

David C. Alves, We're the sons of God. . .So What?: Believe God About Who You Really Are!

“The bible is history. Remember that it is not a book. It is a library. It contains many kinds of books, letters, songs, and histories, along with the poetry of mythology. We sometimes separate history from mythology, but the bible doesn't. Nor did C. S. Lewis when he wrote, Christianity is myth that is true.”
David C. Alves, We're the sons of God. . .So What?: Believe God About Who You Really Are!

“Finally, this book has the potential to radically alter your understanding of who you really are—your high calling as one of the “sons of God.”
David C. Alves, We're the sons of God. . .So What?: Believe God About Who You Really Are!
