I’m not a fan of people who brag. There is something about it that is repulsive to me. As I think about it, a bragger is trying to elevate him or his/her own ability over others. I’m fully aware that there are others that are considerably better than I am playing basketball, running, shooting…a bunch…

I’ve had personal prayer moments when I prayed for me. I prayed for my situation. I prayed for wisdom and discernment because I wasn’t sure what to do next. I know that the Lord responds to prayers like that. He also responds to prayers like, “Help”. The king of Judah finds out that he’s about…

I’ve prayed many times for many different things. I didn’t always get the answer from the Lord that I wanted. Christmas time is a time when lots of kids “pray” for certain thing to be under the tree.

I have been a Christian for many years. I know that my faith has grown over the years. I can remember going to church as a child and having what I thought was a strong faith. My faith has grown deeper and deeper over the years. I know that my faith has been tested on…

I remember there were times growing up when my Mom would send me to my room and tell me that my Dad would be there soon to punish me for my disobedience (whatever the infraction).  Sometimes that simple waiting on Him to come spank me or ground me was worse than the punishment itself. I…

I love treasure hunting shows and movies. They search and search for clues to the elusive treasure. I’ve lost things before and had to “treasure hunt” – My kid’s cell phone, their keys, etc….  I have actually lost some of my stuff as well. I will start hunting to find it. I do think it…

There have been some really dark times in my life over the years. I can tell you that I was at the lowest point in my life and wondering if I could possibly make it through such horrible circumstances. I’m convinced that my faith in the Lord sustained my heart and kept me hope filled…

I’ve had many occasions to ask for help of someone else. I’ve learned over the years the things I don’t know as well as the things I don’t know how to do. I’m aware that it’s in my DNA as a man to NOT ask for directions. I’ve learned some hard lessons on that one…
