If you have ever watched a child do a job that was just a little bit out of their ability, then you might understand the frustration of perfectionists watching someone do a job improperly. I admit, I am not – by any stretch of the imagination – a perfectionist. However, I can sympathize a littleContinue reading “After perfection”

Directions for life
Have you ever woke up later than you wanted to, having to push things that really need to get done to the back burner so that you could rush out the door to get to that thing that cannot wait? Maybe this happens often in your life in different areas – I know it isContinue reading “Directions for life”
Becoming Good Ground
Springtime has quickly replaced fall as my favorite season, because I love to see the new life that arrives with spring. The cows calve, the goats kid, the chickens start to increase their egg production. Milk comes in freely, my wife and girls starts playing in the dirt doing ‘garden prep’, and the early vegetableContinue reading “Becoming Good Ground”
Used By God
There is no true Christian that does not, in at least some way, want to be used by God. There was a time in history that God had a special relationship with the nation of Israel via judges. These were men – and a woman – who were used by God to help lead –Continue reading “Used By God”
Faith Untested
I recently heard a phrase that took me back. A pastor I met recently told me, “faith untested can’t be trusted.” This caused me to think about certain things in my life, and how God wants us to trust Him and how He will give us tests and trials to increase our trust in Him.Continue reading “Faith Untested”

The word comes from the Latin word vireo who’s primary meaning is strength. It would be improper to substitute the word strength for virtuous in many cases because virtue has a very specificContinue reading “A Jewel Factory”
Standing with God
We need Godly men and women who will take a stand against the things of this world. The music, television, games, books, and hobbies this world espouses are entirely against God’s word and have no place for the Christian, however many – if not most – refuse to take a stand against these things. ThisContinue reading “Standing with God”
The breath of God
This year,2024, I want my prayer life to go to the next level. No, I need it to. Lately my prayer life is just going through the motions. There is little power and there are few tears shed. When I read the following passage God stirred my heart to ask for his breath on myContinue reading “The breath of God”
