Morning Insights

Most every morning I spend some time with God. I speak with Him and He speaks to me through prayer and His Word. While I was praising Him this morning, I was overcome with the thought that He alone is… So many attributes of God make Him like no other being. Therefore, I want toContinue reading “Morning Insights”

Practical Leadership

I worked most of my life in leadership positions. I consider myself to be an effective leader, but not necessarily a good or great leader. My style was more one of empowering others rather than one of control. However I didn’t always adequately prepare those whom I had empowered to be successful. I lacked goodContinue reading “Practical Leadership”

Meaning What I Say

I have always had trouble with the words I use in speech. I am an introvert and do not have strong social skills, making me feel awkward in social situations. So the words I say come out awkwardly and often don’t represent my real intentions. I wonder if many people have the same difficulty. InContinue reading “Meaning What I Say”

Finish Line

Life can throw me for loops sometimes. The unexpected seems to be the norm. Every time I think I know what’s coming up next, I am surprised by something different. Two years ago I had brain surgery. A tumor showed up on an MRI taken for a completely separate concern. Three days later I wasContinue reading “Finish Line”

Honorable Vessels

In my house there are some things that I treat carefully and honor, like my computer tablet. I also have some things that I do not honor or take good care of, like most of my clothes. What makes the difference between the things that I honor and the things that I don’t? It hasContinue reading “Honorable Vessels”

Childish Things

I love watching small children play and interact. Don’t you? I love the wonder and unabashed joy in their faces over the smallest thing. When they discover something new, their excitement can reach the heavens. Of course, there are the other aspects of childhood that are not so attractive. Children are often selfish and self-centered.Continue reading “Childish Things”

Training in Godliness

At various times in my life I have taken physical training seriously, at least for someone with limited athletic abilities. In my forties I was into jogging. I trained for a number of 5K and 10K races. Eventually I trained for and ran a half marathon. Now I am an avid walker, walking over 10Continue reading “Training in Godliness”

It Takes a Village

You have probably heard the expression that “It takes a village to raise a child”. In many parts of the world, this saying is true and taken seriously. Every village adult cares for, leads, teaches and disciplines every child. As the child grows he/she learns the community’s values and beliefs. He/she learns their role withinContinue reading “It Takes a Village”
