I’ve been asked to do a “favor” for someone that turned into way more than expected. I’ve also asked someone to do me a favor. I’m defining favor as “an act of kindness beyond what is usual”. I don’t usually mind doing favors if it’s in my power to do so. Favors are not something…
I used to watch the TV showed called “The Voice”. It was a show about finding the best voice out of a competition that spanned the whole USA. The contestants would “show off” their voice by singing many different styles and genres of music. The other voice is one we speak with. I have different…
I remember as a kid visiting Fort Harrod just outside Lexington, Kentucky. I think the first time was a field trip and then I took my family by years later as a short top on our way to Lexington. It is an old restored fort that dates back to one of the first settlements in…
I think it would be foolish to say that I’m never afraid of anything. It would not only be foolish, it would be untruthful. I have fear and worry that creep into my life all the time. I most definitely try not to let fear paralyze me at all. When I dig deep into my…
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned the importance of regular check-ups at my doctor’s office. I’m not sure when I went from an annual check-up to bi-annual check ups. I guess it had something to do with age! I’m trying to embrace my “old fart” status. These check-ups keep up with the condition of my…
I hope things will get better. I hope that the hardships of life will dissipate. I hope, hope, hope that Lord will rescue me from me. I am sometimes my own worst enemy, but my hope is in the Lord. He is Creator and Sustainer. If I put my hope in anything or anyone else,…
I remember a police roadblock a few years ago that was set up to check license, registration and insurance. I remember feel pretty confident as I approached until I reached in the glove compartment of my truck and I had an expired insurance card. I knew right were the current insurance cards were. I fully…
I remember being left in charge of things when I was a kid. I didn’t do so badly when in this position, but it’s a big responsibility when you’re a teenager and feeling pulled between the “responsible” adult world and the “care-free” world of a kid. I didn’t always like being “in charge” of things,…
There are times when I’m extremely confident in what the Lord can and will do in my life. There are times when I’m on the other end of the spectrum – I’m desperate for Him to move and act in my life – big time! I think King David experienced these highs and lows as…
When I’ve been through hard times, I realize just how weak I am. I can hardly find the strength in my legs to stand up. I become very dependent on the strength that only the Lord can give me. Some folks refer to this as “inner strength”, but in my case its “Spirit Strength”. It…
