I’ve asked someone to do me a favor. It is usually something rather small to ask. In this situation it is an act of kindness that I would show or do for a friend. My children can ask me for a favor and if there is anyway I can do it, I certainly will serve…
There have been times that my decisions reveal flaws in my character. I make choices that reveal the way I think. I can say one thing, but the choices I make really reveal who I am. I once heard someone say that hard times can build character and also reveal character. The Lord’s character is…
There have been times in my life when I wasn’t sure how to pray, so I prayed. I’m pretty sure that there was no eloquence to my prayers at that time – but the Lord understood. I think I’ve made prayer this divine appointment when it really is an on-going conversation with the Lord. As…
I grew up in a little spot in Adair County Kentucky called Casey Creek. My address growing up was: Dwayne Hicks Casey Creek, KY 42723. Someone in my family went to the post office every day or so and picked up the mail. I’m not sure how many people got mail in that little post…
Every now and then I see a plate on the front of a car that has the Georgia Bulldog logo on one side and a Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket logo on the other side and the by-line: “A House Divided”. I like to watch sports and I consider myself a fan, but I’m not more…

I’ve actually had training in CPR several years ago. I’m not sure I would…
I love it when things are good and then they become better and better. It’s a blessing to be a part of something that not only works out like it was planned, but actually works out better than planned. I believe walking with the Lord is like that. I know that my journey with Him…
A good attorney is a valuable friend and confidant to have when someone comes after you in a lawsuit alleging all sorts of actions that you didn’t do. A good attorney prepares a defense and develops a strategy for defeating the person who is attacking. Asaph reaches out to God to defend Israel against enemies…
I grew up in a family of five kids and we didn’t have a lot of money. In fact, I learned later in life that we were actually considered poor. I do remember people helping us with Christmas and now that I look back I realize that many others had way nicer stuff than we…
I have never given much thought to worshipping other gods. I believe in one God – the Creator God of the Bible. I’ve been in church all my life and following only one God…or so I thought. Recently, I began taking a closer look at my life and my walk with God. I realized that…
