Regarding Gratitude and Regrets
We all had our Holiday events and I hope you had chance to practice gratitude and truly step back and love the people around you. So the follow up question is, What would you change? The best thing about Christmas being right around the corner from Thanksgiving is the fact that we can do some…
Obstacles to Gratitude
Do you want to increase the level of gratitude in your home, marriage and relationships? In the previous post we talked about the terrible cost of ingratitude and how it effects our lives.

The Terrible Cost of Ingratitude
This month you hear more about gratitude than any other time of the year. With the holidays around the corner it is a great way to give us pause and go into the gift giving season with better motives. Gratitude is not a natural human response. When we are young we expect our needs to be…
Why can’t I ever get away with anything?
David sinned. He saw Bathsheba bathing on her roof top. This was not yet sin. He continued to think of her. He even started searching out who she was. He was told that she was the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah. Still not yet sin. He continued his thoughts about her until he…
Are You Just Guessing at How to Please God?

While I am waiting.
It seems right, that this is the book I am reading while the boys are in drivers ed. It is also appropriate that I tell you I am 2 chapters behind my Proverbs 31 online bible study group. This is my first online study with Proverbs 31, but so far I am enjoying the…
The Widow’s Mite, The Patron Pendant of Writers

Scarred fields and Scarred people
Yesterday I noticed two dark green cuts running through the field rolling by on my right. Someone must have lost a cow or just decided to cross through on their four wheeler to get to the next field over, laying down crop as they drove.
