I believe that my life has purpose and meaning given to me by the Lord. He created me to do His Work. He created me to honor Him. If everything I do connects back to His purpose for my life, then my life can be really full and fun. I must admit that I sometimes…
This word, as with many of our English words has multiple meanings. It can mean “the mental process of a person who comprehends” or it can mean “a mutual agreement”. The root word, understand means “to perceive or grasp the meaning of an idea or concept.” For example, I understand Real Estate because I work…
I remember being taught as a young teen to properly shake hands with someone. I was told a good firm handshake speaks of confidence and character. I don’t know if all of that is true, but I do like to shake hands with someone who has a firm grip. I also like to greet my…
I like being prompted in some things. When you’ve been standing in line to check in at the ticket counter if the airline and they yell “next”. I also like being prompted in other areas. Being prompted takes some of the guess work out of what I’m supposed to do. I think prompting works well…

I remember as a kid we had a spring up the hill that fed water to our house. I remember helping my dad bury the water line from the hill down to the house. I remember the reservoirs that captured the water to send it down to the house. We had a small reservoir first…
I believe it would be dishonest to say that I don’t have a motive. My motive doesn’t have to be bad to be a motive. I’ve know people with good motives and good intentions and things still went sideways. I’m not always willing to reveal my motives, but the Lord already knows my motives. I’m…
There are times when something is simply the way it is. For example, there is a law of nature, a law of motion, or a law of human nature. There irrefutable laws that are always true. I don’t always think of these laws until I come face to face with one of them. I have…
