I believe that a teacher is defined by their attitude. There are many who teach but really aren’t teachers. Teaching is not about telling … it’s about asking. At least this is the reason I use questions in my approach. Granted I love to teach – my purpose is to touch the life of the […]

Ummmm… how did I get here? Perhaps more important… HOW do I get outta here!!!!! I feel like a whole lotta pruning is going on. Activities, responsibilities, leadership… and I could go on, but this seems to be the best definition of the ‘environment’ I’m experiencing. Accurate? Not sure. But I seem to be at

Do you really understand? Do you see that God’s armor – that He GIVES to us – encompasses us completely? I know there are those who say that the back is open because we are never to retreat. While I like that, I’m not sure that they realize the significance of the armor. Scripture tells

I should probably add – unless we choose to live our lives on our own ‘abilities’, according to what we think. If this particular writing seems familiar … it probably is. It is critical for us since WE are the actors, WE do the doing, BUT… BUT WE HAVE THE ANSWERS, THE METHOD TO SUCCESS…

If you haven’t already guessed I am somewhat obsessive about growth, especially in terms of who we are as pray-ers. And scripture provides us our foundation, our standard, our method to grow. I firmly believe the scripture that tells us we are blessed with every spiritual blessing and part of the reason is so we
