I love the early morning for a lot of reasons. I like getting an early start to the day. I like the quietness of my home. I enjoy a refreshing cup of coffee. I enjoy sitting in my chair with the Word of God open. I enjoy hearing the Lord speak to me through His…
There are people who never seem to let anything bother them or anger them. There are others who always seem mad or angry. I am definitely somewhere in the middle. There are things that make me angry and then there are things that “frustrate me”, which is probably anger on a lower level. I get…
I am fascinated when I see a full suit of armor, a shield and spear. I can only imagine wearing something like that and going into battle. That was the norm for the higher-ranking soldiers. I imagine the other soldiers simply had a sword and spear but were more agile and quick. Our military…
I am not a fan of fear. I don’t like being afraid or fearful. I like feeling confident and bold. I like the feeling of control and the calm that can come with control. I have learned (over and over) that control is often a mirage or misconception. I actually have very little control over…
I grew up on a farm in the backwoods of Kentucky. We had cows for many years. We had a fence around our property and they were also able to run on my Pappy’s property too. They would graze on the grass. There were all these paths across the hillside. When we would call…

I can hardly imagine life without some tasks or jobs to do. My brother, recently retired, jokes that he has only…
I know what it means when I receive an invitation with these four letters on it – RSVP. I guess I made up its meaning… I thought it meant: “Please Respond Verifying Presence”. It actually comes from the French culture and language. It is an abbreviation for: “Répondez s’il vous plaît” and it simply means:…
This word can be an adjective, verb, adverb or a noun. After a word jumps into my lap from scripture, I will often look up the definition of the word to give me clarity on the actual definition versus the one that is in my head when I see the word. I wasn’t prepared…
I realize that life is full of little moments all put together in a great collaboration. My life is not defined by a single moment for sure. It can be changed in a single moment. I know lots of people whose lives were changed in a single moment. I remember hearing that my son…
