I am currently reading a book called, “Forgiveness,” by Timothy Keller.   This book started with a description of the world we live in today that has forgiveness as not a main priority.  The world, as a whole, believes forgiveness doesn’t give people justice.  They believe that when people are often forgiven, then they areContinue reading “Forgive in a World that Doesn’t:”

I was recently reading the book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki along with Sharon L. Lechter for work.  Robert’s rich dad had interesting ideas and new thoughts when it comes to making money and becoming more financially independent of the job you have.  This book, overall, did have some interesting views andContinue reading “Becoming What You Study:”

I have started the book, “Miraculous Stories of the Healing Power of Prayer,”  by Harris Faulkner.  This book has been really delightful.  I have enjoyed hearing stories of prayer and miracles by the everyday person.  Some of the stories have been about a woman who conquered her heroin addiction and is now a missionary, oneContinue reading “Purpose in the Small Things:”

Recently something happened to me that has never happened before.  If I am quite honest, it was over something, I will usually tease other people about.  I left my cell phone on top of my car, while I was driving.  In case you are curious or are wondering, that is not an ideal place forContinue reading “Helping a Complete Stranger:”

This weekend I went to my 10-year class reunion.   It was such a good time.  It was only a handful of us, but it was a good time to get together with those I hadn’t seen in a long time.  It was nice to see where life has taken each and every one ofContinue reading “A Lot can Change in 10 Years:”

In church this past week, we went over Romans 8:14.  I really enjoy this verse, and I believe it has some great wisdom for all Christians to follow.  This verse says, “Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.”  The Lord wantsContinue reading “Put on Christ, like Clothes:”

I will be completely transparent that I have been struggling with my finances.  I know many others also feel this way about their finances, especially recently as the last few years everything has become more expensive. I have been working really hard to get my finances in a better position than they were a fewContinue reading “Trusting God with my Finances:”

I was recently in church, and we as a church service have been going through Romans, and this past week, we were in chapter 12 verses 9 through 21.   Verse 10 was the one I wanted to highlight.  This says,  “Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.”  Through theContinue reading “Try to “Outdo” Each Other in Love”
