LESSONS LEARNED
How many times have you said, or thought, “If I knew then what I know now…”? For me? I’ve said that so many times I can’t even begin to count them! So often in our youth and young adulthood, we make assumptions that aren’t always on the mark. Then after a few years, we look…

PROJECTS
Do you ever have a personal “to-do” list? I do. Every spring my wife and I sit down and write down our summer projects, which usually means work we hope to accomplish outside, like building a terrace, splitting next winter’s firewood, planting blackberries, etc. Needless to say, our reach often exceeds our grasp, which…

KNOWLEDGE OR WISDOM?
I am currently working on my next book, which is a Men’s Devotional from the Book of Proverbs. The working title for it is THE PROVERBIAL MAN: Practical Wisdom For Today’s Man.

KNOWLEDGE OR ACQUAINTANCE
In the last post that I wrote I mentioned that I had a dream to write a book. (Note the link below.) Now that dream has come to fruition and I am a long way into my next writing project. One of the things that I find so very useful as I write is to…

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU?
I’m writing this article on New Year’s Eve, 2024. As is true of most people, I’m giving some thought to New Year’s Resolutions. And, as is true of most people, I’m not making any resolutions. Why not? Well, to keep with the theme…as is true of most people I don’t keep them. Good intentions aren’t…
