He Is Everything

By Dwayne Hicks | July 24, 2018 |

I feel overwhelmed with trying to fathom the Power & Presence of the Lord. I’m not sure who the writer of Psalm 33 is, but it sounds a bit like the worship leader penned this passage. I am still letting it resonate within my heart this morning. Check this out…. Worship 1 Let the godly sing…

Out of Sight!

By Dwayne Hicks | July 23, 2018 |

This used to a slang word for amazing – at least it was in the 70’s & 80’s. Someone might say: “Man, that was out of sight!” I’ve not used that phrase or heard that phrase used in a good minute. I am reading through Psalms in my journey and came across that phrase and…

Shine Down

By Dwayne Hicks | July 22, 2018 |

I remember seeing rays of sunshine burst through the trees off a “tree tunnel”. The sun will make a way through where there seems to be no way. I believe that the sun exposes multiple dark places because of its powerful presence. The sun brings light and heat for sure. I need the Light of…

Morning Joy!

By Dwayne Hicks | July 20, 2018 |

Our English language is a bit goofy at times. We have so many words that are pronounced the same, but because of the spelling or usage they are different. I never noticed this so much until our “Nica Kid” was learning our language. To this day, he will say: “Why do you do that?” To…

The Sunday School Answer

By Dwayne Hicks | July 19, 2018 |

Blog by Kristen Hicks I am struggling. And when I say struggling, I mean STRU-GAA-LING. You know those days, where it feels like if someone came up and hugged you, you might just lose it and fall completely apart in tears. It may just be a girl thing. And when I say “someone” I don’t…

Honor

By Dwayne Hicks | July 19, 2018 |

I love being honored or noticed for my work. I have to be careful that I don’t think that I’m deserving of honor. The Lord deserves any honor that I receive. I am nothing and a nobody without His Presence in me. I am humbled at some of the things He’s done through me over…

Thank You

By Dwayne Hicks | July 18, 2018 |

These two words are really big words. I believe that they are more powerful than they are polite. Please don’t misunderstand. I was taught to say “please” and “thank you” because it’s polite. I would suggest that these two simple words are huge to building relationships at all levels of life. The wealthiest people and…

Fort

By Dwayne Hicks | July 17, 2018 |

I remember as a kid building forts to hide in as my brothers and sisters played “cowboys and Indians”. The boys were always the cowboys and my two sisters would always be the Indians. We would build a fort for protection and then go “hunting” for the Indians. The fort was usually built out of…

On Trial

By Dwayne Hicks | July 16, 2018 |

I remember as a kid my babysitter liked Perry Mason – a legal drama series on CBS television. Perry Mason was a defense attorney that always won the case. He would find that his client was innocent. Later on, I grew to like Matlock, where Andy Griffith played Ben Matlock, a defense attorney. This show…

Distress

By Dwayne Hicks | July 15, 2018 |

I have tried to forget the times of distress in my life. Distress is defined as “great pain, anxiety, acute mental or physical suffering, affliction or trouble”. I feel like I’ve had some small amounts of this stuff, but for the most part, I’ve been protected from distress. There have been times of struggle and…
