“Those who are kind benefit themselves,    but the cruel bring ruin on themselves.” (Proverbs 11:17 NIV) I’m just getting back in town, but not a day has gone by where I have not remembered to write a meditation, just for you. Today, I might write just a little, but what I’m about to pen, it’s kind of a big deal. A big deal? Yes! Let’s focus on being kind to each other this week....

“The Philistine started walking toward David, with his shield bearer walking in front of him.  He kept coming closer, and when he got a good look at David, he was filled with scorn for him because he was just a nice, good-looking boy.  He said to David, “What's that stick for? Do you think I'm a dog?”  And he called down curses from his god on David.  “Come on,” he challenged...

"…the devil…  He has always hated the truth because there is no truth in him.  When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies." – (John 8:44 NLT) Monday morning I received two texts with totally opposite messages.  One text expressed pessimism pertaining to a personal challenge.  The other text conveyed certain optimism when it came to their...
