Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding. Proverbs 3:13
April was hard. Probably one of the harder months I have walked through in a long while. And the hardest part about it is that none of the "hard" things that happened over the course of those days have directly effected me. All of the things that have taken place I have been on… Continue reading Lessons from 1 Kings (sorta)
Half way through week two on the study of 1 Kings. I will be honest here and admit that there is a lot happening in the pages of this book that I never really took the time to pick up on as I went through my Old Testament classes during both college and Seminary. It… Continue reading Building: 1 Kings 7 & 8
Happy Tuesday! Can you believe we are already into the 2nd week of April? Where on earth does the time go.

The best laid plans... Seriously though, why is it that when it seems like I have taken every necessary step to get all my little ducks in a row I turn around 10 minutes later to see that my ducks aren't in a row at all. In fact, they aren't even in the same vicinity… Continue reading It’s Time To Get Real…
I love to read. I pretty much always have. When I was younger one of the worst punishments I could receive from my parents was for them to take away my books. When I graduated from high-school and moved on to college my reading transitioned from fun fiction novels (what I call "brain candy") to… Continue reading Making Time to Read
