There are days where nothing seems to go right. It starts in the morning with something breaking at home. As we move through the day, one thing after another goes wrong. There are days when the news is devastating to my family, my loved ones, my friend, my country or me. I’m so thankful that…
Home is that place in my life that is like no other. It’s not necessarily a house or a specific building. It’s where my family and loved ones are. Home is where I live. Home is sometimes the place I grew up. I had a “home moment” just yesterday as I was returning from an…
I’ve heard many love songs over the years about there being “only one for me”. The implication of the song is that there is only one person on the planet for me to marry. I’m not sure I ever believed that, but there are people who do. I remember my Mom advising me on relationships.…
One of my favorite subjects has always been history. In my elementary school days I loved Kentucky history as well as American history.

This word payback insinuates that someone has been wronged and they will be “paid back” for the wrong they’ve done to another. To the person being “paid back”, it’s not fun. To the person “paying back”, the results are not as gratifying as they had hoped. The Lord is “paying back” His people for their…
This word is defined as “refusing or dismissing a proposal or an idea”. Rejection is also “the spurning of a person’s affection.” Rejection sounds to me like a negative word and it pretty much is for the most part. If I reject an idea is feels like I’m putting it in a bad light. If…
Pride is not always a bad thing. It’s totally appropriate to take pride in our achievements or the achievements of others. Pride goes astray when I develop an excessively high opinion of my self or my own importance. Pride has destroyed many good people over the years. Pride destroys companies and countries. Pride destroys relationships…
