Throw the Dice
Uncertainty plagues me constantly.
Yet, the Bible says it shouldn't.
God's in charge and I need to remember I have little control over it all other than how I will respond to what he puts before me.
Time Flies
Time flies.
As the fall season is upon us, we are heading toward the exact opposite place one would go if they hope to build an RV Repair, Solar Install business.
Washington State in the Winter.
Why?

Peace In Pain
Often, we find turmoil and personal pain in life. Things hit us that we seemingly do not deserve. Often times, we do not. Yet, God can and will take every one of these situations and use it to grow us, teach us, and help us.
We simply need to learn to rest in and trust HIS processes. He’s in control, regardless of how it may seem in the moment.
The Irony of Gimmicks
Gimmicks. They never work.
Yet, the American is constantly on the lookout for a way to avoid effort, or so it would seem.
Hence we are a country full of enterprises promising easy fixes to any number of our problems.
Yet, we deny the easiest fix of all!
If In Doubt
There are so many among us today in the Christian world who seem to believe they have the corner on salvation.
It seems they have assigned themselves the responsibility of being the gatekeepers here on earth governing who and who will not gain entrance to heaven when they die.
These Christians among us stress and “worry” over the salvation of others using as their primary motivation Matthew 7 where Jesus talks about the narrow gate, the bearing of fruit and the false teachers and “wolves” among us.
I want to dissect this a little bit and in the event you have encountered one of these types, or perhaps even ARE one of these types, provide some of my own personal thought and insight on the topic in an effort to provide hope and assurance to anyone who now doubts their salvation.
Persistence Pays
There is a lesson in our adventure to find the Desert 5 Spot plant during the spring wildflower blooms we experienced.
The lesson taught was about persistence. I learned a lot about persistence and I wanted to share that with you here.
We’re Not Worthy
The mindset of our unworthiness in the sight of God troubles me.
Far too many Christians seem to practice severe self loathing and deprecating talk.
I am not sure about the right posture to actually take and how we really must think as it relates to our relationship with God.
In this post, I’d like to write out some thoughts I have related to the matter and how I believe we may want to reconsider such talk.
The Stars Humble Us
Psalm 8 mentions the night sky and the work of His fingers.
What a great chapter from which to contemplate the art of Photographing the night skies in Death Valley. In today’s post, I’ll share with you a few thoughts as well as some images recently captures of the Milky Way over the Harmony Borax Works in Death Valley.
Gifts for Mom!
Mother’s Day is just around the corner and I thought…hey, you know what…I want to share some gift ideas with my friends.
This post contains a link to get you shopping for mom!
Gratitude
I believe that gratitude is the killer of stress and worry.
Yet, it sure is easy for me to lose track of those things for which I can and should be grateful.
Today I’d like to share with you a few thought patterns I’ve been having along with a video and an image revolving around this very topic.
