I have been following Jesus for the biggest part of my life. I accepted Him as my Lord and Savior when I was in the third grade. I can’t say that I’ve been faithful for all those years. In fact, there have been multiple times in my life if you looked closely at my life,…
I’ve had some significant struggles in my life. I had, what I feel like, my share of suffering and pain. I can look around and quickly see others whose struggles and pain seems even more intense than my own. I’ve learned that when I’m in the midst of struggle, suffering or pain, that I can’t…
I will often get a confirmation number when making a reservation or an appointment. The confirmation number is a validation of the reservation or event that is about to happen. I make appointments often to show property or have another agent show a property that I’ve got listed and will confirm the appointment via text…
I do not consider myself extravagant at all. I’m a simple man who loves God, family, and friends. I am not complex. I do consider myself to be a thinker or a bit introspective. I can sometimes be impulsive and quick, but I’m mostly methodical and measured in my responses. I came across an event…
I have times of the day when I’m more alert than others. My mind is sharper in the morning than early afternoon. I like to get up and move around in the afternoon because I get a bit sleepy. A 10-minute power nap works wonders for me. I like the morning time when the day…

There is a sequence to many things in life. One simple example is preparing food. The sequence is: purchase, prepare, cook, serve, and eat. It would be out of sequence to serve it before it was prepared. There are hundreds of thousands of examples of sequential order in our lives. Jesus taught His disciples as…
I could tell many stories of physical healing for sure. From small cuts to broken bones, healing was needed, and healing took place. Our bodies are created in such a way that they heal themselves – sort of. I am a believer in Creator God. I believe that He is the Healer for sure. I…
There are times when I don’t feel welcomed by others. When I was in ministry, I could tell that people were sometimes uncomfortable around me. I always tried to remind them that I was just a human like them. I’m not the Judge or the Lawgiver. I am simply a man who is trying to…
These are two words that take courage to put together. When it comes to following the Lord, I need both trust and surrender. I’m trusting in Someone I’ve never physically met. I’m trusting in Someone Whose Presence is clearly felt. I’m still learning to trust Him more. Surrender is the other part of the equation.…
