I will admit that I’m pretty busy at times multi-tasking in many different areas. I work sometimes at a crazy fast pace. It’s not always because I want to be this busy, my work just “breathes” like that. I feel often like the Lord is settling my spirit in the early morning and He helps…
I remember people telling me that you can tell if a “used car salesman” is lying if his lips are moving. The implication is that he’s always lying. The truth is there are lots of lies told each day that are pretty simple and subtle. “I’ve never done that”; “Of course those jeans don’t make…
When a house or building is built, there is great attention paid to the foundation because that is the anchor of the building. The foundation is the part that fastens the building to the earth. It is the solid base of the building. If the foundation is faulty, then the whole house is faulty. I…
If there is an opposite to a “green thumb”, I think I have it. A “green thumb” is used to describe someone who “has a natural talent for growing plants”. I had a peace lily once and the only instruction is a little sunlight and water. I kept it alive the longest I’ve ever kept…

There are different classes of people in this world. The “gap” between the different groups of people can be huge. First there is rich and poor. There are people with great power and the people with no power. There are people who are famous and people who are unknown. There is the upper class, middle…
Humility is a word that is understood as a person having a low or modest estimate of one’s own importance. I can act humble and not really be humble. I can really be humble and act with confidence. Sometimes confidence is confused with arrogance. Arrogant is the opposite of humble. Isaiah is speaking against the…
This is a person who provides expert advice due to their experience and/or education. I’ve known people who retired from a company and then get asked to come back in a consultant role to give guidance and direction. The advice from a consultant is to help avoid many “rookie” mistakes that are easy to make…
There are times when I’ve received bad news and nearly knocked me down. There are other times when I’ve received bad news that I’ve stood strong and pushed through it. The difference between me being weak and me being strong is the Presence of the Lord. As I walk with the Lord daily I become…
