Do you ever get upset when you hear about a law being presented or passed that goes against God and His Word? What about when world leaders blatantly speak or take stands that contradict Biblical principles? I have to admit I’ve felt the emotions of anger as I have seen politicians push unbiblical agendas. I…

Everyone desires the blessings of God, but not everyone pursues them. How do you know you are blessed? Or, the opposite, how do you know you are cursed? God told Israel He would reward them if they obeyed and punish them if they disobeyed Him (Leviticus 26; Deuteronomy 28). A worldly view of blessings is…

Have you ever given up on someone? The Apostle Paul did, at least temporarily. Mark was a cousin of Barnabas (Colossians 4:10) that accompanied Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey (Acts 13:5). We aren’t told exactly what happened, but Mark deserted them (Acts 15:38). This was a crucial time in the beginning of…

At the young age of three, I had no understanding, much less any thoughts, towards the complexities of the legal system, foster care, or the adoption process. All I understood was love, stability, and honey-nut…

When my oldest daughter was four years old, we made a trip to Disney World. This was her first time to ever go and she was so excited. We arrived at the condo and realized it had a pool with a water slide, so we decided to swim the first day then visit the Disney parks. She loved…

I remember mowing Mrs. Taylor’s yard as a 12 year old and getting the biggest payday I ever had – $10! That was a lot at the time. I continued down the street with my push mower and knocked out Mrs. Johnson’s and Mrs. Ludlam’s yards as well. It wasn’t just mowing, but edging, weed-eating,…

I lost my wedding ring. That’s a pretty big deal! I removed it to do some work and it’s missing. Fortunately, I have my original wedding ring to wear. The one I lost was a gift by my wife a few years ago. Now a ring is replaceable and hopefully it shows up, but what it represents is my 19…
