The book of Joshua
This wonderful book is such a great example of how the LORD takes care of those who faithfully obey Him. This huge conquest of the promised land from Egypt to the Jordan (and all the battles fought in between) is a mighty display of God's power ( Read more... ) -
Joshua 9-11
God proves to be with Israel in all their conquests & battles. The end of chapter 11 says that the land was able to rest from all the war & bloodshed. The summary doesn't come 'til tomorrow, but still worth mentioning is that Joshua, in his short time so far has already defeated 31 kings/armies ( Read more... ) -
Joshua 5-8
These four chapters see the destruction of Jericho & Ai. Once again, God's plan is, essentially, law. What He says, happens. And to go against it will cost us. In chapter 7, Achan's sin of keeping God's treasure costs Israel a battle victory ( Read more... ) -

Some good advice. I need to start doing this more often.
I'm for socialized medicine. I just wish there was a better & less expensive way to do it. The ( Read more... ) -
Adjusting to married life
Whoo! What a big change in my life! Adjusting to married life has not been difficult, but it still proves quite the task. Everything I do now has a new motivation behind it: my wife. (Well, most everything. I'm building towards that perfection.)
The wedding was great. Sound was a bit glitchy but it still worked okay. I didn't get to eat next ( Read more... ) -
Be joyful ALWAYS
My word....what a year for the news. Actually it's not. Same crap, different day.
I'm sooo worn out from all the negative campaigning this election year. More & more we seem like the divided states rather than the united. I'll be honest; I really don't feel like voting at all this year. I've just lost hope & trust in our leaders. Now is that a ( Read more... ) -
Stuff happening
We're in an election year, the Olympics are starting soon, I'm getting married in a month, I just got a new job working at Costco.....there is a lot happening! That is usually grounds for quite a lot to think about.
First off, the marriage. It's just amazing to me how God can bring two opposites & mold them together in perfect harmony. We've hit ( Read more... )
