Time is an illusion, there is always time and then there is no time at all. It is here and gone in the same instant. On the 28th this month I will turn 48 and for the most part, there is very little I regret about my life. One of those is that I did … Continue reading Life Lesson Series – Time Management

Life Lesson Series – Listening
I originally posted this back in December but thought it was worth a re-post for this series. This is one life lesson that is very much a learned skill and discipline. Ask yourself, How often do you truly listen to the world around you? When in conversation how often do you truly engage the person … Continue reading Life Lesson Series – Listening

Living and Leaving a Legacy

A Study of Joseph – Joseph/Jesus Parallels
I thought it might be good to look at a couple of parallels between the lives of Jesus and Joseph. Joseph's life is a foreshadowing of the one true Messiah that was to come later. Joseph was a servant of God, maybe not by his choice, but a servant none the less. Jesus was the … Continue reading A Study of Joseph – Joseph/Jesus Parallels
A Study of Joseph – Meant for Evil
As we finish up Genesis 37, we get into the events that will set the course for a most remarkable journey for Joseph. And as we do so, I want to draw attention to the fact, that just like today, they also had to deal with evil in Joseph's day as well. Looking at this … Continue reading A Study of Joseph – Meant for Evil
