I don’t always think about my soul. I think about my physical self – shaving, showering, eating, drinking, exercising (not really) and clothing my body. I don’t always sit around and think about the shape or condition of my soul. I do know the Lord and I talk with Him often about nearly everything. I…
To me this word means patience. It means staying where I’m at until something else happens. I have to confess; I’m pretty bad at waiting. I’m not a patient shopper, although I’m improving on this one. I hate traffic jams. I’m not real patient when the Lord tells me to wait either. He has a…
I believe everyone has things in their past that they are not proud of. I’m no exception to that. I’ve said things and I’ve done things I’m embarrassed about now. At the time I may have felt justified for doing or saying those. No I’m not going to give examples, because one of the things…
I’m told that walking is good exercise. I do walk….occasionally. I walk from my chair to my car or from my office to my car. 🙂 I actually should walk a lot more than I do. I remember when I was 20 years of so younger that I ran at least 3 miles a…
I don’t think that a day goes by that I’m not reminded to be thankful for my children. I have five amazing kiddos (make that 7 including spouses) and I feel incredibly blessed by the Lord. I also think it’s important to have proper perspective – children are a gift from Him. I have the…
This word means “feelings of great pleasure and happiness”. I think it’s much more than that. I believe joy is a state of mind or an attitude despite my current conditions or a situation I find myself in. I believe joy is a choice that I have when getting up in the morning. Having a…
I’ve been through what seemed impossible. I’ve been in situations where there seemed to be no way out…no escape hatch. I’m learning that the Lord can provide an escape route when I’m surrounded on every side. His Presence in me gives me confidence to find a way through the toughest trials and darkest days. I…
That little two-letter word “if” can drastically change the direction of a thought or sentence in the conversation. “If” is a conjunction for all the English majors out there. This little word has a ton of powerful usage placements in our language. Politicians use it for an “escape clause”. King David used this word to…
This term is defined as “the act of acceptance or yielding to a superior force or to the will of or the authority of another person”. I’m learning the act of submission on a daily basis. There are authorities all around that I’m in submission to. I submit to the authority of local, state and…
I’ve gone to church for as long as I can remember. Sunday’s were a special day where the whole family went to church together. My first church that I remember was a small church called Roley Christian Church in Casey Creek, KY. Yes you could say it was a country church. I lived off the…
