As kids one of our greatest fears is to have to sit alone at the cafeteria table. We want to be welcomed to a friend grow and not isolated and alone. But we soon realize that even when sitting with people we can still feel alone. So many of us either sat alone because weContinue reading “Spiritual Blessing: Seated Together”

Today is the Lord’s Day! We worship the Lord Jehovah because He has gifted us access to His salvation through His grace! He has saved us from our sins and given us the pathway back to Him in paradise. We’d never make in there in our own. We’d get lost in the dark. But GodContinue reading “Gift Giving”

I absolutely love nature. Being outdoors is my preferred place. Whatever the activity – work or play – I’d rather it be outside.

However, there is one component of our natural world that doesn’t appearContinue reading “Spiritual Blessing: Resurrection”

But our society isn’t theContinue reading “Spiritual Blessing: Truth”

In many places, cultures, and times only first borns males receive the full inheritance. The rest of the children would receive the secondary inheritance if they inherited atContinue reading “Spiritual Blessing: Inheritance”

Today is the Lord’s Day. Why do we worship Jehovah? Because He is our anchor – our everlasting rock. This life is hard and tumultous. It is like the ocean. Calm on moment and then raging the next. It is easy to get lost and drown in the depth of chaos and sadness and disappointmentsContinue reading “Fixed on Jehovah”

As a professor aka teacher of college students, I find that my students are vastly more successful when I am transparent about my expectations and policies. They know what is expected.
