If you’ve spent time in nature, hopefully you’ve had the experience to walk along or side beside a bubbling brook. It’s calm and relaxing. Not overly rough but not too still – it perfectly peaceful in its bubbliness. I’ve also had the pleasure of standing in the ocean shore at night and watching a stormContinue reading “Deep waters or bubbling brooks?”

When I was a kid, we had this huge trench like river flowing through our front yard. And since I am from Louisiana, my front yard river always had water. I loved when it rained because it would be rushing water down at the bottom of my front yard. I spent countless hours playing inContinue reading “When the Levee Breaks”

I just recently found out my mother does not like honey. I mean who doesn’t like honey!? It’s sweet, yummy, healthy, and all natural. So let’s just say I was surprised. My dad on the other hand – he LOVES honey. I can remember as a kid my dad just eating spoonfuls when he wasContinue reading “Honey or Vinegar?”

Intentions. Everything we do – we do with some levelof level intention. We have a purpose for what we do, say, and act.

God is omniscient. Nothing is hidden from the eyes of God. Solomon teaches us that not even Sheol (Death) andContinue reading “No one is hidden.”

I’d love to go overnight camping. I haven’t had the chance to yet but I spend so much time in the mountains it’s only a matter of time. It’s fun to be out in nature. When you camp, you take as little with you as possible because the more you take the heavier your pack.Continue reading “House or Tent?”

I’m just awful at using cardinal directions. There are four cardinal directions. So when navigating, you can head in a variety of directions. Northwest. Southwest. Northeast. Southwest. North. South. East. West. North by northwest. You get the point. Anyway – I get so confused. Thank goodness for the compass app on my watch. But ultimately,Continue reading “Which way, which way?”

Sharing is caring. We’ve all heard the phrase. Yet how often to we truly practice it? Do we only share when it’s convenient? Or when others see us? Perhaps we only share during certain times of year? Or, we share because it is expected but not something we actually want to do. As Americans weContinue reading “Sharing is caring.”

Remember the children’s song “oh my careful little tongue what you say?” It is an easy phrase to sing but a hard way to live. Careful talking. Many of the proverbs Solomon wrote directly or even indirectly deal with talking. So, I’ve gone back to the beginning of his proverbs (Proverbs 10 – 29) withContinue reading “Oh, be careful little tongue!”
