I believe that love is an activity of both the brain and the heart. I believe that the two go hand in hand when surrendering to love. The love that the Lord has for is profound and powerful. It is hard to understand and process. His love is deep and wide. His love is…
There are events that happen that have never happened before. They can’t quite be compared to any other event. The prophet Joel came along and endured such an event. Check this out…. 1 The word of the Lord that came to Joel son of Pethuel. 2 Hear this, you elders; listen, all who live in…
I sometimes like to get to the end of the chapter of book to get the authors final thoughts/summary of the chapter. Some books do this with the conclusion. I think the reason the final thought is so powerful is because it’s the last thing we read. The final thought seems to tie the…
This word certainly means contented or pleased. It also carries the meaning of meeting expectations and desires of another. I’m usually satisfied after eating dinner.

Some things take longer to harvest than others, but this is the time of year that planting starts. The prophet Hosea…
I’ve never been in a sinking boat that I know of. I had an old Bayliner boat (emphasis on old) a few years ago that started constantly bilging water so I took the boat to my mechanic and found out that the transom was nearly gone. It had been a great family boat, but…
I remember as my Grandparents aged they often had horrible short-term memory, but they could remember something that happened to them at age 12. I’ve also known people who had problems remembering what happened 5 minutes ago. Memory is an amazing characteristic of our human brain. We store things in our memory and may not…
A large majority of homeowners in the United States pay a mortgage payment each month to redeem their mortgage. The money paid to the mortgage company each month is one step closer to redeeming their home from being a debt to an asset. This word redeem is often easier to describe than it is to…
