Just Believe

By Dwayne Hicks | February 22, 2021 |

There are times when the odds seem stacked against me and there is no way to come out on top. It requires some confidence and belief in my experience and abilities. There are times even when I believe in myself, I make mistakes and a deal doesn’t happen.  I realize that I can believe that…

Love Is Serving

By Dwayne Hicks | February 21, 2021 |

I’ve been going to church since I was kid. My parents took me to church as a baby, so I guess I’ve been going my whole life. I remember hearing a guy say that going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to McDonalds makes you a hamburger. I think I…

Fake

By Dwayne Hicks | February 20, 2021 |

I have been “faked out” by people who appear genuine and real. I have had people tell me what I want to hear only to later find out the truth. I do believe that the truth usually finds its way out in the open. I’ve been around my share of fake people who act one…

See & Hear

By Dwayne Hicks | February 19, 2021 |

I have had to wear corrective lenses for a long time. I think it’s hereditary for the most part. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve noticed my hearing is off a bit. I have always liked my music loud. My ability to hear some of the higher frequencies is long gone. I’ve noticed people (me included),…

Bring On The Light

By Dwayne Hicks | February 18, 2021 |

I wake up most mornings and turn on minimal light in the house as I wake up to face the day. I like to watch the day wake up as the sun rises. I am not a fan of darkness. I like to have light available all around. Jesus was teaching the people when the…

Life

By Dwayne Hicks | February 17, 2021 |

My life is quite busy most days. If I’m not careful, I will start living like this life is all that there is. I believe in life after death. I believe that our souls live on into eternity. I’ve never seen this with my physical eyes, but I believe in the Word of God. Jesus…

Purpose

By Dwayne Hicks | February 16, 2021 |

I have been following Jesus for several years. I am still growing in my faith as I study the Word of God to know Him more. I love the Gospel of John as this is Jesus’ friend writing about the events that happened while Jesus walked the earth. I love the simplicity of John’s writing…

Opinion

By Dwayne Hicks | February 15, 2021 |

I have an opinion about lots of things. I’ve heard it said that everyone has an opinion about just about everything – I can subscribe to that position. There are some things that I’m a bit indifferent about – meaning I don’t know really have much of an opinion. There are some questions that I…

Room In My Heart

By Dwayne Hicks | February 14, 2021 |

I have learned over the years that there are only so many people I can know at one time.  When social media became a thing, I reconnected with lots of people from my past – people I went to high school and college with. It was great. I do occasionally connect with some of those…

Responsive Heart

By Dwayne Hicks | February 13, 2021 |

I have watched a lot of medical shows and when the heart stops working, life comes to a stop. I’ve taken CPR classes in the past in order to know how to keep a heart pumping until some other procedures to restart the heart are available. It is crazy how many people have some sort…
