Steady

By Dwayne Hicks | August 21, 2015 |

This word has several facets to its meaning and they all seem related to me: “firmly fixed, supported, balanced, not shaking or moving, not faltering, or wavering; controlled, sensible, reliable, self-restrained.” After reading that entire definition, I really like that word. Hidden among all those descriptive words is great strength. It takes a strong person…

Final Days

By Dwayne Hicks | August 20, 2015 |

  I’ve been around people who have lived a good long life and they are entering their final days. I’ve also been around people who are really too young to be in their final days, but disease or sickness has shortened their life here on earth. When the person in his or her final days…

The Big Move

By Dwayne Hicks | August 19, 2015 |

  In my daily work as a REALTOR I get the privilege of helping people from one place to another. They sometimes come from another state here in the US or they are moving from one part of West Georgia to another. There is a sense of excitement and anticipation when people are moving. A…

Confirmation

By Dwayne Hicks | August 18, 2015 |

  There are times that I’m just not sure what road to take. I ask the Lord and weigh all the options. I finally feel His nudge or push in one direction and off I go. A little later on the journey He does something that is confirmation of the path I’m on. I love…

Rear View Perspective

By Dwayne Hicks | August 17, 2015 |

  I recently purchased towing mirrors for my truck because I use it to tow my camper and I need to be able to see the traffic around me as well as the sides of the road, etc… They are so big that they are somewhat distracting. In fact it has taken me a few…

Changed Man

By Dwayne Hicks | August 16, 2015 |

  I’ve met people before that I knew when I was younger and they are completely different than when I first knew them.   I believe it is in me and everyone – the power to change. I have noticed people who were once arrogant and haughty become humble and kind. I’ve seen people who were…

Unexpected Hospitality

By Dwayne Hicks | August 15, 2015 |

  There are times when another person goes above and beyond to show me a warm welcome and hospitality. In fact I believe that some people have a gift of hospitality. They can make you feel like royalty in their presence. Josephs brothers are going back to Egypt a second time to buy food because…

Fear God

By Dwayne Hicks | August 14, 2015 |

  I remember as a kid being scared to death of God. I thought He was this “giant old man” in the sky who was there to “smack my hand” if I got out of line or was disobedient. I did pretty much everything for God out of my fear of Him. As I’ve grown…

Cool Under Pressure

By Dwayne Hicks | August 13, 2015 |

There are very few people who one day they are help captive in a dungeon and then things changed and they were second in command of the whole country. That is what happened to Joseph. He was imprisoned because of false accusations, but he kept his faith in God. On this particular he was sent…

Remember Me

By Dwayne Hicks | August 12, 2015 |

  There are times when people remember who I am and what I do for a living. Then there are other times when they forget about me. My day job is marketing and sales for consumers who wish to buy or sell real property. I work with lots of amazing people in our real estate…
