‘The mind is the devil’s playground.’ Who said that?! And yet everyone, saved or not, holds to this belief. And no, it’s not in scripture. The closest is in Proverbs 16:27 “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop; idle lips are his mouthpiece.” [TLB] But if you read this same verse in other translations, you won’t […]

If the lesson seems familiar… it probably is. But don’t, in haste, feel like you’ve ‘done this’ so it’s not important. Truly, that’s the wrong attitude. Maybe it is a relearn – because you missed something the first time? Or…it may be a deeper level of learning, understanding, and/or application? Sometimes it’s a case of
Not particular excited about the title, but I’m back… it’s been an interesting 2 month journey. I’ll share some of my experiences and learnings in future posts, but how… What’s next! Not a question… a statement. (Somehow I think that 2023, the start of a new year and the end of my hiatus, begins on
And again I say PROCESS!!!!!!! The ‘older’ I get the more I realize/am fully convinced that all learning is a continual building process.

Do you? Do you listen to what you say (and how you say it)? For a moment, can you put yourself in the position of being the hearer – how the hearer would hear what you are saying? Are you lucid? Are you relevant? Are you only speaking to hear yourself speak? What are you

I realize that there are countless number of books written about covenants and what they mean and how they form our relationship. This is really an introductory discussion but I believe, especially for Christians, that it is important to realize that when we become Christians, we enter into a covenant with God. Therefore, it’s important
Have you ever thought about how incredibly blessed you are? If you’ve made Jesus your Lord then, by definition, you are. Don’t just remind yourself of this when things get bad, you should do this daily. Part of the reason is that you do remind you of your blessings. When you think about if…. You
