Everyone at some point becomes a master (boss, leader, president, manager, etc.), but before they get there they must first be a servant.
Remember The Benjamites
Obviously sin had gone unchecked for some time, lines between wrong and right had been blurred and the fear of the Lord almost non-existent. I guess one could say, it was much like today’s society, where everything and anything goes with very little conviction.
Papi
Something unique and powerful took place while he was sharing; his eyes began to tear up and it was as if he was remembering things he had never shared before.
Thoughts on Island Life
Sometimes when I feel as though I’ve had all I can take of a given situation, he takes my hand and tells me, ” you’ve had enough, let’s go catch fireflies by the beach now.”
What’s On My Mind
I know this one thing; when we stop being hungry for eternal things and begin to focus on the perishable, we are sure to grow cynical and eventually forget whose we are.
A Wandering Aramean Was I…
I’ve been going through the 1 year daily audio bible via podcast. I listen to it every morning and can’t get enough of it.

Old Gospel Nostalgia
I was reminiscing today about the way Christians lived the Gospel in the old days (notice I said lived-not preached). Something was different then, and I cannot point it out. I am not sure what has changed, but something has changed.

Run Forest, Run!
When I was in elementary school, I enjoyed running. I think I ran every where. I have several cars in my knees from many falls running to and fro: it was my thing. I was not a reckless, untamed child, I just simply enjoyed playing and running and having fun with my friends.
