This is a question that since early March of this year, a lot of people have been asking. When faced with circumstances that we’ve not seen before we wonder what to do next. I’ve learned in my journey with the Lord that He is never surprised by anything. He is not surprised by the pandemic…
There are times when I’m really hungry and I will have an extra portion of food. This is often a bad choice, because a single portion should suffice. There are times when I feel like I can’t get enough of a good thing, such as a good book or a good podcast – something that…
There is an ad for an attorney in Atlanta is this hard to forget. He says, “One call, that’s all”. He is saying that if you call me, I’ll will take care of everything. I’ve never called him to see if he can take care of everything. I’m a bit skeptical of some advertising that…
I grew up learning about the prophets of God in the Bible. These people were interesting characters in their day. As I grew older and hopefully wiser, I began to study these prophets more consistently. There were some “big time” prophets who are well knows like Elijah and Jeremiah, to name a couple. There are…
This phrase usually brings up thoughts of alcohol and drunkenness. I want to see if from a different perspective. Everyone on is “under the influence” of someone.

I love a little competition, especially if my team wins or dominates. My son and I played a good bit of ping pong during quarantine. I’m sure that we improved with the competition. If I play someone that I can beat badly every time, I might not improve. One of the things I love about…
One of my roles as a husband and Dad is provider. I am thankful to be able to provide for my family. We have plenty of food. During this pandemic, it’s a bit risky to think about getting the virus to run to the store to get food. I am learning to be thankful to…
I am not really much of a “trend setter” or a “trend watcher”. I heard a phrase when taking financial peace from Dave Ramsey years ago that talked about how we often try to impress people we don’t know or even like. When I was growing up my mom referred to it as “keeping up…
