The ads that have been surrounding me lately have mostly been about what tools to get dad for Father’s Day. As a father, the sentiment is nice. I do like to have nice tools and I am often building things. We have been building our house for close to a year now and progress sometimesContinue reading “The Key To Building A House”

When Is It Enough?
How much money does it take until you are rich enough? How many times does it take to drink a drink of alcohol until you are drunk enough? How many times does it take to “get high” until you are high enough? When is enough, enough? Jesus when he asked the woman at the wellContinue reading “When Is It Enough?”
A Stink in the Air
A few days ago I went into my workshop and noticed the worst odor known to man. I knew instantly what it was and immediately felt the tears raising in my soul. I keep a freezer in the back of this workshop and, because we live on a farm and process our own meat, itContinue reading “A Stink in the Air”
Whose Favor Do We Seek?
A friend of mine has been going through a court case recently and certain motions were filed that he does not want to be approved. I was talking to him and as we talked, he was explaining how the judge would approve of this because of this reason, or he thought that this fact didContinue reading “Whose Favor Do We Seek?”
After perfection
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”
Sacrifices Is An Exchange
I do not really look at the things that I “sacrifice” as giving up something, I look at it as exchanging it for something better; a trade up rather than a trade off due to one being of more value instead of equal. I go to work to provide for my family, I sacrifice someContinue reading “Sacrifices Is An Exchange”
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”
Bible Trusts
The Bible is full of trust relationship. In the very first few chapters God makes man and trusts him to have dominion over the earth and all that was therein. God also gave the first man, Adam, a wife to cleave two. The word cleave implies a trusty relationship because it is to have andContinue reading “Bible Trusts”
