I have been reading devotionals on anger Charles Stanley because I realize that one of my issues is anger. I have to say if you get a chance, I highly recommend you take the time to go through all of those devotionals. It is important because this time of the year seems to bring out […]

Peace
The holiday season is upon us and with it comes all the rude people who are in a rush to get those deals. They will push you out of the way all in an effort to save money. I understand wanting to save money, but if you really want to save, then do not spend […]
Whiner
Today was not a good day. I had planned on traveling home tonight and being home next week to do a minimal amount of work for my job, but a lot of work around the house. However, that all changed. Today the project manager is in full panic mode because the CAPA deadline is quickly […]
The Race
So many of us treat life as though it is a race. We go as fast and as hard as we can to get that high paying job, to have a family, a house, a car, and many other materialistic items. This is all to get to the supposed finish line, but what is the […]
Never Rush
In today’s world, all we see are people rushing. They are rushing to meet deadlines, to get to the store, to get to work, to have relationships, et… My advice is to slow down, but let’s look at what the Bible has to say: Matthew 11:28-30 New International Version (NIV) 28 “Come to me, all you […]

Lessons
God will teach us many things throughout our lives. We do not always understand nor do we always learn, but He still provides us with an education. As I have said in the past, I travel for my work. Frankly, I hate it. I hate leaving my home for a long period of time to […]
Contentment
Last Sunday the pastor of our church preached about contentment. One of the verses about being content that resonated with me was: Hebrews 13:5 New International Version (NIV) 5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will […]
Temptations
The other night we had a gathering of people at our pastor’s house. One of the questions that was asked is how do you avoid temptations? We gave all kinds of answers, but it was not until later that the real answer to the question dawned on me. We cannot avoid the temptations. This is […]
