Who Do You Trust?

Let’s go at this a bit differently, ok?  At first glance, when you see “who do you trust”, you may start searching through your list of “mom” “dad” “close friend” “attorney” etc., evaluating each one. But let me re-direct you for a moment.  Back to when someone you thought you could trust actually failed you.

Biblical HR

No—this is not an oxymoron!  And yes, the “HR” stands for Human Resources, as in the department in our organizations that handles the difficult personnel management issues. The book which inspired this blog is Biblical HR:  Applying Eternal Truths to Everyday Work by Brett Billups.  All I can say is you MUST buy this book

Who’s Your Reprover?

What the heck is a reprover? And why am I implying everyone needs one? Good questions – same ones I had as I read Brian Noble’s devotional from “Daily Wisdom for Peacemaking”.  His scripture from Proverbs seemed rather obscure to me: “Like a gold ring or an ornament of gold is a wise reprover to

How Now Shall We Live?

OK, New Year’s resolutions, and the month of January have passed.  More frequently this year I heard people saying they don’t even set those types of resolutions anymore — and certainly heard lots of speculation about the average amount of time a New Year’s resolution is actually kept. Sure enough, Mick at his blog at

Running Wild

Yep, this is the week to focus on SOUL work – and yep, “running wild” is addressed in the Bible.  Seriously. Why talk about this now?  You will never guess how this pairs up with all the “goal-setting” and resolutions and 2024 planning that is going on right now.  It certainly took me by surprise

Idols of Christmas

“Our society is as idolatrous as Paul’s was” says Henry Blackaby in his devotional written in 1998.     How could that be?  When I think of idols, I think of those statues and temples built in Biblical times.  Like the Golden Calf statue.  Remember?  Aaron claimed he threw the people’s gold “into the fire” and “out

The Best Gift

Blackaby’s devotional described exactly the kind of person I love to be around – “Some people know just what to say and do to encourage others who are going through difficult times.  Their words give strength to those who are discouraged and comfort to those who are grieving.  These people are sensitive to God’s voice.

Believe in God’s Love

The greatest truth in all of Scripture is this:  God is love.  So says Henry Blackaby in his devotional book. And we hear it so often, and I can say it to others, but have we really embraced that one MAJOR fact? Here’s a good scripture to chew on –  “And we have come to

Life’s Seasons

Maybe it is just because I have been working on the revised Life-Story course about to be released.  But I am acutely aware of the aging issue.   In looking back over my 75+ years as have done my own “review” and guiding others to write their stories, pull together their photos, memories, insights and life-shaping

Testing, Testing

Testing!  Final exams!  Pop quiz!  Do those words bring back bad memories of school days when you were facing tests at various intervals – some known and some “surprise” ones?   Does for me.   And who hasn’t observed a toddler who was told not to touch something that was “hot” or forbidden?  As soon as the
