Don’t Lie to Them

Posted on July 24, 2017 by ehurst

Don’t Get Caught

Posted on July 24, 2017 by ehurst

Posted on July 23, 2017 by ehurst

Here at Kiln of the Soul, we tend to operate on three levels simultaneously. At the highest level, of course, is the Spirit Realm. We address it in parables, but it boils down to acknowledging God as God. He is … Continue reading →

Posted on July 21, 2017 by ehurst

No Sense of Humor

Posted on July 20, 2017 by ehurst

I’m hardly the only guy to notice that SJWs don’t have a sense of humor. Recall, please, that I am a clown. I learned not to take myself too seriously. That would naturally mean I prefer to company of folks … Continue reading →

Saddle Up

Posted on July 19, 2017 by ehurst

Nothing Personal, But It’s Personal

Posted on July 18, 2017 by ehurst

Safe Distance

Posted on July 17, 2017 by ehurst

No Two Alike

Posted on July 16, 2017 by ehurst

I thank God that I’m a nobody. Every time I peruse the Christian news sites, I notice that this or that propaganda group is trying to get this or that big name preacher or Christian performer to support their agenda. … Continue reading →
