Jealousy

Jealousy is a strong motivator and sometimes leads us to do bad things like it did to Joseph's brothers in the book of Genesis who tried to kill him. It reminds me of when I was jealous about my wife and kids accomplishments: professional artist; professional musician/school teacher; college professor/French teacher; and professional landscape architect. Who says the grass is not greener on the other side?

The Scorecard

Baseball fans sat anxiously emjoying the thrill of the moment through nine innings of exciting play-by-play action. Then, the time of reckoning came to total the numbers to see who won.

If you have been following along with me through this series of 'Identity Crisis'  you will have learned how God whispered to me daily and thus continued to mold and shape my character.

So who am I? I am a person who among many things loves God, am fascinated by words, and loves people.

It has been my hope that you have also experienced God's whispers in your own life through sensing His presence in everything you do, and can identify how He continues to mold and shape your character. And on this path we can all do like the late Dr. Robert Cook said, "walk with the King and be a blessing." 

The Worth of Change

When we think of change the first thing that comes into our mind is pocket change or coins. But change also applies to life styles and it can be challenging.

When the former president, Barack Obama,  first ran for office he offered change in his campaign strategy and immediately everybody jumped on his bandwagon. Likewise, not too long ago, now president Donald Trump did the same thing.

Spiritual change occurred in my life when I became a Christ-follower at church camp and since than my life has changed through reading the Bible.

Attending a local Bible preaching church all my life I didn't always have a desire to read the Bible. It came on gradually when one day I suddenly realized that it was changing the behavior of my life. This new experience can also happen to you.

So through the power of the Holy Spirit edifying me through reading the Bible, God continues to bring me closer to being the person I am meant to be.
