To embrace something is to accept or support the belief, theory or change willingly and enthusiastically is at the heart of the word embrace. To embrace wisdom is the champion it…pursue it…study it…go for it daily. I believe that the pursuit of wisdom is a never-ending pursuit. I also believe that pursuit of God’s heart…
This is something that just about everyone I know takes for granted until there’s a problem with it. I’ve seen people who have to wear an oxygen mask just to breath. I have lost my breath before and it is really scary. Breathing in and breathing out is foundational to how our bodies were built.…
I’ve been to parties that are pretty lame. The music (What music?) is bad. The people are boring and dull. The food is ok, but the atmosphere is pretty dead. Then there’s the party that is rockin it! The music is fantastic; the people are dancing and having fun hanging out. There is laughter and…

I think it’s important to do the preparation ahead of time so that when things come my way, I’ll know how I want this to play out. I make preparation for things I know that are coming. I make preparation for things that I have no idea are coming my way. The thing is, things…
This word means rest and relaxation after a time of stress or anxiety. I love the sense of relief after I’ve felt stress. It’s like a calming time and even an opportunity to breathe in. I believe that the presence of the Lord in my life brings me relief when others might be totally stressed…
