We are supposed to follow what our leaders tell us, unless it goes against God. Romans 13 English Standard Version Submission to the Authorities 13 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities […]

Work
Today I rejected a pretty decent job offer for a few reasons. I had asked God for wisdom in making this choice and after I made it, I neither felt glad/relieved or sad/anxious. So did I make the right choice? This was for a management position in a state that was roughly 1300 miles away […]
Fear the Lord
In Proverbs 9:10 New International Version (NIV) 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. What does this verse mean? Fear can have multiple meanings according to Merriam-Webster online dictionary: an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger anxious concern profound reverence […]
Irresponsible
I love my son, but at time he is very irresponsible. He is very smart, but he does some of the dumbest things at times. Sometime ago he got a second tattoo, but he could not really afford it and in fact now he is running low on money. He is under the impression that […]
Grumpy
I’ve noticed recently that older people just seem grumpy. This really is nothing new as I also noticed this back in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and even 2000’s. However, it just seems to have gotten worse with time. Do I blame these people, no. For the most part, it seems like everyone that is not […]

Free Will
I have mentioned this before, God gave us Free Will. Just look in Genesis. God told Adam that we are not to eat of the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God did not say you cannot because I will not allow it, but that we must not because it […]
Man’s Wisdom
First what is wisdom? Oxford English Dictionary defines wisdom as “Capacity of judging rightly in matters relating to life and conduct; soundness of judgement in the choice of means and ends; sometimes, less strictly, sound sense, esp. in practical affairs: opp. to folly;” also “Knowledge (esp. of a high or abstruse kind); enlightenment, learning, erudition.” […]
The Left
I read the following bible verse: Ecclesiastes 10:2 New International Version (NIV) 2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. and it had me thinking of our political parties. I thought it was a bit ironic that the political parties in this country are divided […]
Wisdom
Where does wisdom come from? So many people will tell you that wisdom comes with age and experience. If that were true, then why do so many older people make choices that seem both unintelligent and unwise yet younger people can make choices as though they have live a thousand years. There has to be […]
