I am not a fan of divorce. I went through a divorce nearly 28 years ago and I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemies. I was broken and in deep pain as my life as I knew it changed. I know people who flippantly choose divorce as a way to seek happiness. It is…
Please note that the question is not where do you live? I’ve noticed that here in Georgia, where I live, there are a lot of people from other places. There are probably more people here who are from here. I’ve lived in Georgia for the past 34 years. Before moving to Georgia, I lived in…
I’m a big fan of the people who lead my heart in worship. I have a long list that begins with the people who lead at church. I’m not just speaking of the vocalists. There are drummers, keyboardist, bass guitarist, guitar players, saxophone players who play the music. There vocalists who sing and harmonize with…
I have been a follower of God for most of my life. I accepted Jesus, God’s One and Only into my heart when I was in 3rdgrade. I was very young, but I believed in God. I’ve stumbled badly along my journey of faith. I don’t EVER want to appear as someone who “has it…
I will be the first to confess that I don’t pray as often as I should. I pray a lot in a very informal way. One of my prayers is often one word: “Help!”. I believe in asking the Lord for help. I believe in asking the Lord for wisdom and discernment. I believe in…
I used to watch a show called Full House on ABC. It was a situation comedy (aka “sitcom”) based on the life of a widower named Danny Turner as he raises three daughters. Family dynamics can be a bit unpredictable. As our kids grow into adults, they develop their own unique personality. I grew up…
There are times when I speak of my functional/dysfunctional family. I went through divorce almost 28 years ago and my family was broken. We both fought for our children and ended up sharing joint physical custody of our three children. It was a very hard season of my life. We learned early on how to…
I think it would absolutely crazy to trace our family tree back to biblical times. I’m not sure you could even do that. I think it would be cool to trace my ancestry back to the emigrants who first came to America. I do think it’s good to know where I came from, but it’s…
A few years ago, I think it was a Saturday morning when the Georgia Dome was imploded and dropped to the ground. I had been in the Dome watching sporting events and even concerts. It was bizarre to see the crew push a button that ignited charges all around the structure and it came tumbling…
I grew up in a home where discipline was part of our life. If I disobeyed my parents, there were consequences. I also did some stupid things when I was in elementary school and received the “board of education applied to the seat of understanding”! Side note, if I put two wallets in my back…
