I heard one time that Reason was the opposite of Faith. I have really begun to question that concept for many years. Having faith is not for the uneducated and uninformed. There are reasons for what I believe and I believe that God is good with using my brain, which He gave me, to deepen…
I don’t get scared as easily as I once did. I am generally not too fearful of things. There are times when my heart rate is high and the unknown has me deeply concerned. I am teaching two teenagers to drive at the moment, so I’m not going to lie – I fear for my…
I pretty much hate my glasses. I have to have them to see, so I’m thankful for them as a tool, but I wish my eyesight were 20/20 without the aid of glasses. I believe insight is similar to sight. I have insight because I’ve had help understanding or “seeing” into some concept or thing.…
I’ve read the history books about slavery here in the United States. It was a very sad period in our existence as a nation. We devalued one human life over another. We treated humans as property. I am thankful when I read historical accounts of Abraham Lincoln at his courage to help our nation change…
I’ve been very thirsty before. If I eat pizza, pasta or something spicy, I will be thirsty for quite a while after I eat. My body requires water to survive. I have learned over the years that water is the best quencher of my thirst. Jesus speaks of a thirst for living water. Check this…
I love the smell of fresh homemade bread. Over all, I’m not a huge bread fan. There are few types of bread that turn my head. (Hey I’m a poet!) I really like O’Charleys roles – the fresh yeast rolls. I also like a rolls at Olive Garden. My mouth is going to start watering…
I enjoy my journey through the Word of God. I’ve always pictured it as a “road map” that leads to God. I believe the Word of God is active and living. Over the years that I’ve been studying, I can study the same passage over again and receive different insight into truth. The Word of…
I have been a follower of Jesus since third grade. I grew up knowing Jesus for as long as I can remember. I remember times in my life where my actions did not agree with what I said I believed. I pushed the envelope with my behavior and my choices. I lived for many years…
I love engaging in conversation with others. I love hearing their perspective most of the time. I really like their opinions as long as they agree with mine. 🙂 I think conversations are great ways to learn and gain insight into all sorts of topics and ideas. Jesus taught with stories known as parables, but…
I must confess that I like the taste of a good glass of wine. I realize that by making that statement, I have offended some people. I do not believe that all wine is evil. I do believe that wine is often abused and misused and the effects of such abuse and misuse can be…
