I love to see people passionate about their dream. I love it when people are passionate about their life’s work. I believe that passionate pursuit and passionate persistence can make up for ability and skill in lots of cases. Daniel was a passionate prayer warrior. He was a wise leader and advisor to many kings.…
I remember a move called, “The Truman Show” back in the late 90’s. It was a fake life of Truman Burbank. His entire life had been spent inside this massive studio with tons of cameras on him. There is cable channel that runs all the time featuring The Truman Show. One of the questions that…
I have most recently had a bit of trouble with my vision. First of all, I’m getting old and my vision has been “sliding” a bit. I’ve had bifocals for a few years and I still have trouble with them. So my distance vision AND my close up vision have fallen off and I have…
The story of Daniel is sensational and miraculous. There are reasons he was such a remarkable man. Because “he was trustworthy not lazy or dishonest”, he was plotted against by his colleagues in leadership under the king. Daniel was about to be put in charge of the whole kingdom. (Daniel 6:4 NCV) Because “he went…
I’ve heard that phrase used many times to describe impending doom or failure. The writing on the wall was supernatural and that saying comes from Daniel 5. The new king of Babylon is the son of Nebuchadnezzar and his name is Belshazzar. He gives this huge banquet and decides that for kicks, he will use…
I’m enjoying my journey through the book of Daniel. It seems that these great events that happened in Daniels life are especially exciting. He was an advisor to the king of Babylon, the most powerful nation in the world at that time. God used Daniel to speak into the life of the king. It’s obvious…
One of my favorite all time Bible stories is found in Daniel. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were close friends of Daniel. Like Daniel, they were faithful to God. They were slaves in a pagan land who had received favor and honor as leaders – even though they didn’t believe in the Babylonian gods. The king…
I remember learning about secrets as a little boy. My sisters or brothers would tell me things and then tell me that they were secret and I couldn’t tell anyone. I fell pretty sure that I wasn’t that good at keeping secrets then. I’ve since learned the value of keeping secrets – not just my…
This is a conclusion that I come to after I’ve considered other options. I make decision based on knowledge, experience and information. There are times I’ve looked back on some pretty stupid decisions I’ve made. When given the information I had at the moment of decision, I did the best I could. I really want…
The part of the earth’s surface that is not covered by water. As a REALTOR, I’ve learned that the value of land is based on location but also on the fact that the Lord isn’t making more of it – so it “scarce”. I know people who own lots of land and I know people…
