    I love the book of Proverbs. I read portions of it consistently even when I’m working from another reading plan. It has such short nuggets of wisdom that, when applied, I truly believe works in everyday life. It really does make a difference in anyone’s life. They are just solid, wise, and practical.

    Life can be frustrating, can’t it? I think we learn that more and more the older we get and the more life experience we have. If you don’t believe me, have a child, buy a house, or just live life for a few days.

    Sometimes, we’re best known for what we didn’t have to do. We all have responsibilities. Let’s face it, adulting is tough work. There are bills to pay, children to care for, responsibilities at work, volunteer responsibilities, and the list goes on and on. However, much of that stuff is expected. It’s maintaining, not ground breaking.…

    A few months ago, I bought a new (to me) truck. I had been looking for several months for a the perfect truck in the perfect price range. I was proud of my patience and it paid off. Of course, we always think we got a good deal on whatever vehicle we buy, but I’m…

    Every good sitcom has good transition music to get from one scene to another. Every good baseball player has walk up music for when they’re on their way to the plate. Every good movie has a great soundtrack.

    Raise your hand if you have a light switch at home… Okay, so you know how a light switch works. The concept is simple (although, don’t ask me about how it technically works). The light switch is usually on a wall some where by the door. When someone walks into the room and realizes it’s…
