Rationalizing Your Actions

There was an article that I read this morning that really resonated with me. It is convicting, humbling, and edifying. And usually, I would not post a “reaction” article to something I read in anything other than the Bible, but I think that at times information needs to be shared among each other in theContinue reading “Rationalizing Your Actions”

Change in Your Lens

I just woke up from a dream that the earth imploded sending me to a different planet. My only objective once realizing I am in another place is to find my guys, especially, for some reason, my youngest son. So go ahead and read this, analyze it, and tell me what you think about it.Continue reading “Change in Your Lens”

Divisions in the Home

This morning has been hectic, but most mornings are. This got me thinking about various characteristics of my household members. Some of us are literal slugs in the morning. But when it comes to the night time, we can’t seem to quiet ourselves down enough to sleep until the wee hours of the morning. TheContinue reading “Divisions in the Home”

Quiet Time

Did you know that having “quiet time” is very important principle that Jesus Himself exemplified for us? In Matthew 14: 22-23 ESV, “22 Immediately, he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, he wentContinue reading “Quiet Time”

Allergy

I keep looking on the band on my arm that reads “ALLERGY”. It’s on a red band in big, bold letters. It is wrapped around my wrist along side my white identification band. I used to also have to wear a bright yellow band that read “FALL RISK”, but that one, thankfully, is no longerContinue reading “Allergy”

Dating My Son

Today, I decided to go on a date with my son. I am trying to do this once a month with each of my sons. My oldest one is super busy with “adulting”. However, my younger three are free for me to hang out with most days. I truly believe that kids, in general, needContinue reading “Dating My Son”

This is a Big Ask

Good Morning to you all. As an opening to this very Big Ask, I just want to say that I am going to continue to blog until I absolutely can’t anymore. I am going to study the Bible until I don’t need to anymore, which means at that point I would be in the presenceContinue reading “This is a Big Ask”

“Pray for All the Empty Tents”

I have been studying Leviticus. Ooooooohhhhh…… I just felt some of you roll your eyes at this one inwardly. hahaha. It is difficult to understand the different sacrifices and the rituals. Especially when we don’t sacrifice physical animals to God. Nature versus Behavior is the main idea here. The nature is who we are; theContinue reading ““Pray for All the Empty Tents””

Are You Facing Trials?

There are so many times that I tell myself, “It is going to get better. It is going to get better.” Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn’t. But through it all, I am reminded of how God is with me and will never leave me. I am reminded of when Moses went to Pharaoh,Continue reading “Are You Facing Trials?”

Let Go of the Weight

Right now, I feel like the weight of so much responsibility is pushing me down through the basement floor into the very depths of the earth itself. I am talking about full on through the crust to the core kind of severity of pushing. It is so heavy that it’s hard to breath. I haveContinue reading “Let Go of the Weight”
