No Need

By Dwayne Hicks | May 4, 2014 |

It’s really hard to buy a gift for the person who has everything. I mean what do you buy someone gets what they need when they need it? When I’m faced with this challenge, sometimes the best gifts are ones that I’ve made with my own hands using my creativity. A gift that is hand-made…

Posterity

By Dwayne Hicks | May 3, 2014 |

I do want to be considered a success by people who know me. I really want to be considered a success by the Lord. I also want the people I’ve worked with and known for years to consider me successful. I have to say that I don’t want my posterity based on wealth or fame.…

Consistent

This word describes someone whose behavior or actions are unchanging for a long period of time. I am pretty consistent about eating every day.

Applause

I love hearing applause. I like going to a college basketball game and being part of the cheering crowd. I also like going to a concert where the musicians on stage are rocking out on some of my favorite songs. The crowd gets into the music or the game…it’s a really fun atmosphere. Applause is…

There is a brand of American clothing introduced in the late 80’s called “No Fear” It came out of the motor cross scene but became quite iconic with a youthful culture here in the USA. I was never into the slogan much, but as a believer I do like it in some ways. I was…

Guide

I’ve had a guided tour through Mammoth Cave in Kentucky on more than one occasion. The thing I really enjoy about a guided tour, I can simply follow the guide. They have lots of great information as we go along. They also know where not to go. I actually trust the guide to lead me…

Thirsty

By Dwayne Hicks | April 26, 2014 |

If I’m out and about and I get thirsty, I will usually try to take care of that need. My body needs to continually be hydrated. It’s even more presence in the heat and the sun. I really like a tall glass of water. I do like Diet Coke or Sprite Zero, but nothing quenches…

Integrity

This is a word that means a lot to me whether I’m dealing with my car mechanic, HVAC friend, car salesman, pastor or anyone. The character trait is big to me. This word…
