I’m not one to play crossword puzzles or word search much. I have played both and enjoyed them at times. My wife loves the “Words With Friends” game on her phone. Words are powerful tools whether used wisely or not. They carry meaning and weight and therefore we should use them with care and consideration. …
I think wisdom is sometimes mistaken as simply being a product of life experiences. For example, I know a lot of things that won’t work because I’ve tried them. Those experiences may very well make me wise in those things. I believe wisdom to be much bigger and much deeper than that. I believe wisdom…
I believe that the Holy Spirit can give direction to my everyday life. He can prompt me to choose wisely. He can direct my path to go to a certain way and do a certain thing. He can advise on buying a car, a house or even a pair of sunglasses. I believe the Holy…
I remember hearing a song years ago (like 19 or 20) by an artist named Susan Ashton called, “There Is A Line”. I remember letting the words of that song settle in my soul. These are strong convictions. You hear and see it on YouTube here. It’s hard to tell just when the night becomes…
This word is not a good word where I grew up. Being lazy takes no effort or energy on my part. I think that sometimes I need to take some time off and rest from my work. I’m not talking about the lazy person who doesn’t work. I believe that everyone can work at something. …

When I think of these two words, I’m in a rubber raft headed down the Ocoee River and hitting some pretty big rapids. The guide in the boat has taught us how to hold on and specifically the times to hold one. I’m really holding on to my paddle and I have my feet locked…
Sometimes when I go to the grocery store, I go without a list. I think I can remember all the things I need to buy. I love texting because I can text Tina and asked if we need this or that. I think the older I get the more forgetful I become. I don’t ever…
This is a word that I’m fascinated with. I used to think that wisdom came only with age. I’ve learned that it often deals more with experience than with age. I think the reason I’ve always felt people older than me were automatically wise was because of their myriad of experiences. I’m not saying that…
One of the things I’ve noticed as I get older is my hearing is not as sharp as it once was. My Dad used to warn me not to listen to so much loud rock ‘n roll when I was growing up. I do believe that over the years of listening to loud music has…
