Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt not covet… The purpose of this missive ‘covet’ is three fold. It is a love letter to my son and daughter to read when they are ready, (I have these archived), so they will learn from my mistakes by not reinventing the wheel. This is my prayer journal. Just jotting down […]

EnGuard!
Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. That’s what the NIV says. This is the verse that I had memorized. (It’s very similar in Spanish) KJV used the word KEEP in place of guard. Not much difference in a way, but a big difference in application. Keeping […]
Yield
mans 6:13 ….yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead. Most people think of yielding as giving up. If they yield to Satan, through the temptation of sin, they are right. It doesn’t have to be permanent, but yes, for the moment they have surrendered to the forces of evil. Take […]
Broken Hearted
Psalm 34:18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart bro·ken-heart·ed – overwhelmed by grief or disappointment. Funny, I never had associated brokenhearts with disappointment. I always thought of heartbroken as a high school crush thing. (Had my heart broken many a time.) That was something that was just a passing […]
Forgetting
Forgetting Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, “I don’t want to see where I’ve been, I want to see How I look getting to where I am going” Fonzy from […]

Why?
Mark 11:3 if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord…. ‘Why’ is what makes us get up in the morning. ‘Why’ is what makes us move. ‘Why’ is what makes us do things. Many times we can’t put our finger on the reason we do things because it’s […]
Humble
Humble 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Humble and humility are not the same word. At least not […]
