“Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” (Jeremiah 33:3 NASB) The server at a big chain restaurant was cleaning the tables next to where I was sitting.  This person had four gold stars on her apron.  The stars indicate how well one provides service.  Just as a side note, even if we are the best in serving, in any capacity, we...

“Through pride and presumption come nothing but strife, but wisdom is with those who welcome counsel.” (Proverbs 13:10 The Amplified Bible) After having my left kidney removed, I had questions centered around the question, “How to live on one kidney.”  Pride took over and I figured all I had to do was look it up on the internet.  My presumption was that I could do my own...
