Wisdom is often overlooked because it comes from someone who is a bit older and more experienced. I used to define wisdom as the correct use of knowledge. While that is partially true, it is not complete. I remember as a youngster, I sometimes resented someone with wisdom because they were “shooting down” and idea…
I have studied prophesy before and it really isn’t rocket science. I hear the weather forecast and it is a prediction based on computer models and various other related weather activity. A prophesy to me is something of divine inspiration. It is also biblical and doesn’t contradict the Word of God. The true test of…
There are times in my life when things happen that I have absolutely no control over. I like to think I can handle most anything, but when it comes my way I’m knocked down a bit. When my son was diagnosed with cancer, I felt helpless. I still remember vividly seeing the x-ray’s for the…
This is a word that I don’t use regularly. I think I understand it’s meaning. It carries with it “resolutely or dutifully firm and unwavering”. This is how I want to be in my pursuit of God’s Heart. I want to be consistent in my pursuit. I want to be steady in my pursuit. I…

In my line of work, my phone is the most valuable tool I have. I actually have a very smart phone. (The phone is much smarter than it’s owner!) I can call all over the world. I do indeed gets lots of phone calls every day in my line of work as a REALTOR. I…
I can’t begin to describe how great God is. I’m simply a man created by Him. I feel quite small in His Presence. When I look closer at Who He is and all that He has done, I’m blown away that He loves me and walks with me. He makes me feel very special. As…
A benefit is “an advantage or profit gained from something or someone”. There are benefits to being a US citizen that are a huge blessing to those born here or those who have citizenship here. There are also benefits from living in certain parts of the country – the weather is nice, the cost of…
I’m not super good at looking back through the generations before me of my family. I do remember seeing family trees with names of my family and kinfolk on there. It’s pretty interesting but takes some time and effort to study. I’m aware of my Mom & Dad’s family like their parents and grand parents.…
