I love hanging out near water. Last week I was able to hang out with my family on the lake. Streams of water feed lakes. Several creeks and rivers fed this particular lake. I haven’t given much thought to the origins of all these streams of water, but I’m sure thankful for the life-giving water…

I remember as a small child noticing the illuminated “Exit” signs in school and other public places. That was curious word to say and know as a youngster. I now know the importance of the illuminated signs and how they could really help in case of a tragedy or fire – you could easily exit…

I have been taught since I was a youngster to show respect and honor to those who are in authority over us. I’ve tried to teach my children the same principle. I should show respect to the President of the United States as well as the President of a company. I may not agree with…

I know that Mom & Dad told me many times over the years to “listen carefully” as they gave instructions about something that they thought was important. The problem came when I didn’t necessarily think it was important and I didn’t listen very well; that’s when I goofed up.  I have learned to be a…

There are times when the Lord’s Presence is obvious to me. There are other times when I’m praying for Him to “show up and show off”! In tasting or experiencing His presence changed my perspective on EVERYTHING. I now look and long for Him daily.  I can only imagine what Ezekiel felt when the Spirit…

I have multiple categories of clothes. I have “work around the house” clothes; “go to work as a REALTOR “branded” clothes; “wedding & funeral clothes”; “comfortable life clothes”; I have “bum around the house clothes” too!  For the most part I try to dress appropriately for the occasion.  I don’t wear “bumming” clothes to work…

A table is an important accessory at my home. I think that the conversations that take place there are like none other. Ezekiel is still with the “measuring man” and they are focused on the Temple structure. The description of the one special piece of furniture that jumped off the page to me was found…

To measure something is to use a standard size and determine the size and scope of something else. I’ve built stuff over the years and my “trusty” 25’ Stanley Tape measure is my instrument of choice. If I have to measure something larger or longer than 25’, I usually go to the 100’ tape.  Measuring…

In the Deep South I’ve heard it said, “Lawd how mercy”! It was also shortened to “have mercy”, but the implication was always asking the LORD for mercy. What a great simple prayer over anyone or anything. The Lord is the Great Dispenser of Mercy!  He is JUST, but He also shows MERCY. The people…

We are in the middle of “March Madness” here in the US and there are dominant teams and then there are “underdogs” or “Cinderella teams”. If I don’t have a preference or any background on the team, I usually root for the “underdog”. If my team, (Kentucky Wildcats) were in the tournament, L I choose…
