Give up
Give up What picture do these words paint in your mind? Quiting? Stopping before the end? Unfinished? Broken? Incomplete? When we hear give up most often, there is a sigh of relief and a feeling of defeat all at once. We gave up the fight. We had to give up because we couldn’t finish the…
This house is filthy!
Happy 2025! This house is filthy! Someone very close to me uses this term, and sometimes it doesn’t always apply because filth can certainly be interpreted differently. The meaning behind this usage refers to clutter, disorganization, and general messiness. Our homes are the stage on which we host gatherings of friends and family. When we…
Give and Forgive
Give and forgive What examples in your life reveal this godly behavior? Where have you been intentional and deliberate to behave in such a way? Is it a child of yours, a parent, a brother or sister, or perhaps your spouse, fiancé or anyone in which you have a relationship. Have you given or forgiven…
Good Will
Good Will These two words put together speak of kind benevolence, favor, and a willing effort. It can be either a response to or an initiated act. However, separating these two words is when a reward can be expected. Good will come. In scripture, these two words are used hundreds of times because being good,…
Communication Breakdown
Communication Breakdown This is the song by the rock band Led Zeppelin about a man who can’t put into words how he feels about a woman. Sound familiar? Every soul has experienced this dilemma in some form or another and at some time or another. Communication can be defined as the exchange of thoughts, messages,…
Little Children
Little children Those two words evoke a number of images, don’t they? Little children can be innocent, loving, sweet, and kind.

Little children…
You can’t do it
You can’t do it Years ago, while a young boy grew up, life circumstances proved overwhelmingly difficult. A child of divorce made custody battles and emotionally charged visitations unbearable for a kid with no tools in the box to successfully manage. Blaming himself for things for which he had no control over became the norm.…
Where did you get your information?
Where did you get your information? In today’s world, we are each one inundated with a plethora of information. We have television, which is akin to a mankind demand of “tell-a-vision.” There’s also radio, words in print, and the internet. Of course, thank you, Alexander Graham Bell, for turning electricity into sound in 1875 and…
Gold Pursuits
Gold Pursuits The “forty-niners,” as they were called, came from all over the world in search of the yellow-colored stone called gold. As few as two to a maximum of 250,000 people descended on central California from all over the world. The gold rush only lasted from 1848 to 1952. With over $2B in gold…
Discover
Discover Discover means to see something for the first time or to make known or visible, according to Merriam Webster. The truth be known, it is widely misused. I recall a “Seinfeld” episode where George Costanza is asked who his favorite explorer is, and he replies with DeSoto because he discovered the Mississippi River. Jerry…
