I must confess that I’m not a “tat” person. I like to look at tattoos on other people.  I could stand the pain of having one put on me, but I have never really wanted one. I don’t think they are “wrong”, evil or sinful. I just don’t really want to have one. I remember…

When God created man in the Garden of Eden, he was the last of God’s creative works. Man was created in the image and likeness of God. Man had named the animals and was enjoying the beautiful creation, but God saw that something was missing. The man lacked a companion, so God created woman. “So…

I believe that Love is the most significant of emotions that the Lord wired me with. He made me in His image or likeness. I also believe He wired my heart to be like His. He wired me to love deeply and serve others.  I believe that God wired me to love my wife. Check…

I went to the funeral home last night to see a widow grieve the lost of her husband of 60 years!  She told of their devotional the night before He died – was about heaven. He confessed to her that he didn’t want to sound selfish, but he wanted to die first, because He couldn’t…

To have such a reputation of wisdom beyond measure, I’m encouraged that this strong, wise and valiant king was also tender hearted and gentle and had a deep understanding of love. I believe Solomon is speaking straight…

I’ve said it before that this may be the most over-used and mis-understood word in the English language. For example, I love my kids. I love certain food. I love my house. I love God. I love my spouse. I love my mac book pro. I’m using the same word, but I certainly love my…

Solomon writes an entire book of the Old Testament and is really all over the map with council and advice. He talks about all the meaningless stuff that we go through here on earth. The stuff we work for and strive for – it’s useless according to Solomon. He concludes that we’re going to die…
