Blessings Beyond Measure
As I sit here and watch our wedding video again, I think of all the amazing things that have happened in the last several years and I am overwhelmed and, no shocker, tears have been running down my face. Our Almighty Heavenly Father is keeping His promises in ways, and to depths, not that long

Anger
I’m writing this week’s blog sort of on the fly. There are some things going on with mentees and friends and I’m in a bit of a quandary on the topic of “Anger”. I’m going to ponder openly here; process my thoughts. Weigh in with a reply if you choose. I’ve heard it said by

Renewal
Lynn and I always like our yard and home to look nice and inviting. Lynn does all the flowers and beautiful things and I do hardscapes and lawn. I’m also brawn for Lynn’s projects and I’m good with that. It works for us. She’s a professional. It’s what she does for a living and her

“That Guy”
Our God has a sense of humor. How can you look at platypuses … platypi? … or armadillos or manatees or any number of other animals and not think so? With that in mind, let’s try something lighter-hearted, yet still with a point. There must always be a point. Right? On August 1, 1995 a

The Vow of ‘Onah
Often as I follow leads God puts before me, I find a “Pearl of Great Price.” I found this pearl referenced in chapter nine in the book, “Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing” by Jay Stringer. Dr. Jay makes some dramatic points about true intimacy, what it is, what it’s not and

The Crux of the Matter
My writings are inspired by many different things in my life. A devotional. A life circumstance of my own. A life circumstance of a friend or Mentee. This journal entry is the product of pretty much all of these things. Lynn and I have our “date nights” on Thursdays. We drive the 30 minutes to

Freedom
I speak and write a lot about freedom. I named our blog site after an aspect of freedom – we were created to be free. Dictionary.com has seventeen definitions for the word freedom and they’re all accurate from where I sit, although maybe a bit short-sighted. There was no mention of truth and its setting

Mars vs Venus
SPOILER ALERT: Major oversimplification ahead in order to make a point! Most of us have heard about the Mars & Venus issue. Mars is rough and tough and his only job is “laying that Mastodon at the feet of his woman.” He gets to growl and roar and strut and expects Venus to throw him
