Are you blessed? How do you know? Are you walking in the blessing of being blessed? How do you define ‘blessed’? If you aren’t living a blessed life… why? If you are… how? I could continue with the questions but what I’m trying to do is to have you consider the word and what it […]
1 Corinthians 13, the Love chapter, is one of the more known and popular chapters in scripture. Often spoken at weddings, it always gives information and a warm fuzzy feeling. However, though less spoken or taught about, it also tells us what Love isn’t. What love isn’t can also teach us. The first 3 verses

Over the past 10 years, I’ve written on ‘Journey’ 5 times, the last time in January of this year. One could suspect that I like journeys (absolutely) and/or that I enjoy contemplating journeying (indisputably). Besides, there’s so many aspects and manifestations to the word: preparation, your position (planner, passenger, etc.). Which brings up an ‘aside’…
