I have watched many movies and TV shows over the years where the traitor comes from within the organization and seeks destruction from the inside. A robbery occurs and there are multiple clues that the thieves knew too much about the security systems and locations of where to go first. Inside jobs have a bit…
This word means “in this place” and it usually refers to the place where you are or where I am. I have been one place and my mind be another. This can be confusing. I really try to be wherever I am. If I let my mind wander off and go to another place, then…
I grew up going to church and talking about God. My parents’ faith was real to them and they helped make it real to me. My grandmother (Mammie) also lived out her faith every day. Her faith in God was obvious to me and to others. I have some people “play the part” of having…
I love this time of year when the leaves are back on the trees and everything is coming back to life from the wintertime where it seems everything was dormant. During wintertime, it’s hard to tell which trees are alive and which are dead. As the leaves come back, it’s easy to tell which trees/plants…
I’ve been accused of being hard-headed and stubborn. I try not to get my feelings hurt too much by that because there are convictions and things that I believe that are non- negotiable. I will dig in hard on those things. With other things and ideas, I like to be creative and flexible. On my…

Those who know me would probably describe me as an emotional person. I know how to hold my emotions in check sometimes. At other times they just blow through the doors and seem to take over. I recently went to the office of my partner who passed just to have a conversation about how much…
No matter how big I imagine God, He’s bigger than that. No matter how powerful I think He is, He’s more powerful than that. I love reading through the Psalms as David gives such perspective to the majesty and power of God. Check this out…. 2 Honor the Lord for the glory of his name. Worship the Lord in the…
This idea of my heart feeling things and knowing things is a bit weird. I realize that my actual heart is in my chest and pumping life blood throughout my whole body allowing me to live and breathe. We humans have referred to our “heart” since creation (likely) as the center of our emotional being.…
