There are others who have a different opinion about world events than I have. I don’t always understand their position. I should certainly respect their right to their own opinion. I should always remember that I’m not always right. I know it’s hard to believe that I sometimes get it wrong! (Sarcasm alert!) I used…
I am a blessed dad with five grown children – the oldest about to be 32 and the youngest is about to be 20. I now have 3 precious grand children in the mix as well. My new favorite title is “Pop”! I believe in the power of prayer. I talk to the Lord often…
I’ve experienced my share of hard times and suffering. I know that there are those who’ve had a harder time and experienced more suffering than I have. It seems no matter how hard the road facing me, there are others who have to face even harder circumstances. I am still learning to lean upon the…
I represent both of these words way too often. They usually act as cousins and often “play together”. When my kids were growing up we didn’t allow them to use the “s” word – stupid. I’m sure there are other “s” words that we didn’t allow as well. I’ve tried to make it a practice…
I’ve seen people show up and do nothing other than show up. I’ve also seen people show up and jump in to do whatever needs to be done to help. This happens at churches everywhere. There are people who started going to church, speak to others and that’s it. Then there are those who show…
I once heard a guy say that “if he had known he was going to live this long, he would have taken better care of his body”. He was having a few issues related to his health. This past weekend the time changed to Daylight Savings Time here in the US. I love the longer…
I have been known to talk too much. I’m actually trying to grow as a listener and do less talking. This is not an easy habit to break. I’m learning to be more comfortable with silence and choose my words more carefully. I’ve been told before that “God gave us two ears and one mouth…
This is not an easy concept to describe. I will often go to the www.dictionary.comto look up the definition of a word that jumps in my lap when reading the Word of God. This morning the word was perspective. When I looked it up, I couldn’t find a definition that captured “my perspective of the…
I like seeing the UPS man stop at my office. It might very well mean that I have an Amazon package being delivered. If you’ve ever been summoned or subpoenaed to testify, it’s not as fun to receive that delivery. I don’t like being the deliverer of bad news. I would hate to be the…
There are times that I’m sure others don’t understand why I do what I do. I’m sure that I’ve been dismissed by some because of my faith. I don’t think I’ve ever been asked or challenged about my faith or my Counselor – God Himself. I’m fine if people ask. I’m fine if people don’t…
