Are you the man of the house? When you go to church on Sunday, do you return home with a load of spiritual nourishment for your family to survive on for the week? You should. You’re the priest of your home. Yeah… you. There are a lot of titles you hold because of your…

The Manual
I’m a technical writer. It gives me great satisfaction to create an elegant manual that will enable a customer to solve problems and operate their purchased software at its peak capacity. My manuals are free to all customers who purchase our product. The catch? You have to read it. Occasionally, a customer calls for help…
Standing the Watch
Have you been asking God for something lately? I know I have. Do you feel the answers are slow or non-existent? Me too—that is, until the other day when I read Habakkuk 2:1. “I will climb up to my watchtower and stand at my guardpost. There I will wait to see what the Lord says…
Hopeless? Alone? Stuck in a rut? Need a way out?
Life isn’t always easy…There are times when we get ourselves in a hole and start to think our hole is unique. We get a bit of tunnel vision and think that nobody knows or has experienced what we’re experiencing and as a result, we lose sight of the goal and feel lost and alone – with…
Love’s Ultimate Day
In the month of February, the focus always swings to love. Sure, it’s not the only month of the year where love rules, but still, you get my point. Valentine’s Day, wedding anniversaries, the “day we first met” anniversaries, our “two weeks of dating” anniversaries, birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Grandparent’s Day and a plethora…
Just Start
I’m pro-life. More specifically, anti-abortion. I post stuff about it on Facebook. I tweet about it. If I come across someone who is commenting on the merits of “pro-choice,” I stick my nose in it and argue. The other day, I experienced something that made me think. I read an article exposing hospitals that forced…
Potential
William Shakespeare wrote, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Or would it? If Donald Trump changed his name to Gladys Smith, would all the prestige, trust, and brand recognition follow him to his new name? Hardly. Our names are important. They appear to…
Too Much Salt
We all know about salt. You put it on french fries, potato chips, pretty much anything your mother-in-law cooks (well, not mine, of course), and foods that just don’t make your tongue dance. Why? ‘Cause it tastes good. Well, technically, that’s actually the result of using salt, but it doesn’t answer the question of why…
This Little Light is None of Your Business!
As a child, I remember singing the words, This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine! (Verse 3X) (Chorus)…Let it shine! Let it shine! Let it shine. The next verse started, Hide it under a bushel, No! I’m gonna let it shine… We sang this in Sunday School. We sang it in Vacation…
The Restful Life
I tend to focus on things that are life enhancing. Part of it is probably personality, but there is a real benefit and purpose behind this: it’s restful. When life happens, it seems so easy to focus on money woes, car maintenance bills, the broken transmission on the lawnmower, children who have to be told…
