My text is taken from Galatians 6:17, “From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.” You have heard the expression, “First impressions are lasting impressions.” Living by this, people are quick to dress nicely and conduct themselves in a pristine way for a job […]
Remembering the old black and white cowboy movies I have seen, the hero, also known as the good guy, was always dressed in white, and the villain, also known as the bad guy, was decked out in black. Of course, because there were no colored movies yet, this helped the characters stand out. It differentiated

Have you ever seen little girls playing, running around with no reservation. They will often begin to twirl, full throttle, no music needed, especially when they have a flowing skirt on. There is just something about this that makes them feel like little princesses. As you watch them, you realize they are ‘dancing as if
Let me give a quick refresher of what was covered in the previous articles, “What Bugs God,” Parts I and II. Passivism in general, and more specifically about the kingdom of God, murmuring, complaining, and quarrelling, unfruitfulness, and barrenness, physically and spiritually, and division, were discussed.

Though I have never experienced it for myself, there are people who take trips every year to go out to sea to watch the whales and dolphins make that huge splash that they can catch on camera for everyone to see on their social media page. The hope is that this will indicate that they
I have always enjoyed learning more vocabulary words and discovering the etymology of them as well. The English language is very fascinating and is a mixture of multiple languages, as are most languages of the world. I can speak, or at least understand, three languages to varying degrees and they are all connected in some
My texts are taken from Matthew 5:16, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:13, “Ye are the salt of the earth…” and Matthew 7:20, “Wherefore by their fruits, ye shall know them.” The context and premise of this
I would like to continue with more principles from the lesson series, “What Bugs God?” that I recently came across from my time in Northwest Indiana, as mentioned, that I began sharing in Part I. We discovered firstly that ‘passivism about the Kingdom of God’ really bothers Him, but we should rather have ‘determination and

There was a quote from the 1942 Disney Animated Production movie, “Bambi”, that was repeated often in our home, while raising four daughters. The quote was brought to us by ‘Thumper’ the fictional, animated rabbit, who said, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all.” It is hard to imagine that this
