Have you ever had an answer to a question that hasn't been asked? Well I have the answer and the question naturally followed. So which do you want first? I am going to assume you said question. The question is, how is it that archeologists always uncover tools and bowls when they excavate a city/town/homestead?  Let's not leave out coins and buttons. Well, the answer is complicated but simple at the same time. First, you have to ask yourself, what is it about a workshop that makes you drag every tool you own out into the yard to carve or cut with? I'll tell you what it is for my kids, it's because they have every workable surface covered with something or another inside the shop. So in order to work on the latest project (it's a bow or a sword or a knife 😄 ) they have to go outside. Next, you either  finish the latest upgrade to your sword/knife/bow or you just need a little peer review and you run off to challenge your brother to a duel 🤺 . In any case, you shoul...

Ok I'm saying it. Because it's too important not to. What is happening in Christianity? More and more of our outspoken leaders or influencers who were once "faces" of the faith are falling away. And at the same time they are being very vocal and bold about it. Shockingly they still want to influence others (for what purpose?)as they announce that they are leaving the faith. I'll state my conclusion, then I'll state some rebuttals to statements I've read by some of them. Firstly, I never judge people outside of my faith. Even if they hate religion or Christianity. That is not my place and I have many friends who disagree with my religion and that is 100% fine with me. However, when it comes to people within my faith, there must be a measure of loyalty and friendship and accountability to each other and the Word of God. My conclusion for the church(all of us Christians): We must STOP making worship leaders and thought leaders or influencers or cool peopl...

How to encourage your husband in spiritual leadership  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/now-that-were-a-family/id1448169027?i=1000445118766 It's been a while since I posted here but I've been reading and listening to quite a bit of good content lately and thought I should share this. I'll more than likely post a few more podcasts that I've found to be helpful. If no one else reads this, it's at least an resource for me to look back on.  

I didn't write this I just found it and am spreading it. Amen The Marks of a True Friend Did you know that the deepest need of the human heart is for intimacy? That's just another way of saying friendship. Now, I'm not talking about casual acquaintances or false friends, but true friends. Let me give you three marks of a true friend. How to Know a True Friend A true friend sharpens . He will make you a sharper person, a better person.  Proverbs 27:17 says, "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend." A true friendship will put an edge on your life. False friends dull your life, blunt your influence, and drag you down. Anybody who makes it easier for you to do wrong is not a true friend. One of the true tests of any friendship is asking yourself, "Am I a better person for having known this person?" A true friend sticks . A true friend is steadfast. We read in  Proverbs 17:17 : "A friend loveth at all times, and a brother...

You call it toxic masculinity I call it sin. We are in a fallen world and the evil that goes on in the world is proof. I don't care what Gillette or any one else thinks about me. The one option that matters to me, and it will ultimately matter to all of man kind, is what does God think of me. Does he see Jesus in me. Am I in Christ? I must decrease and He must increase. Back to my original reason for writing. Toxic masculinity is a construct meant to make men shrink in their role as leaders and second guess their responsibility to be the spiritual head of the home. I didn't make man the head of the home God did. So many of the modern subdivisions of people are designed by the father of lies to be divisive to the family unit, the home and the church. Feminism is as old as the world. It didn't just start in the 1900's. The serpent said yea, hath God said? Hey girl you gonna let god/that man fool you into thinking that ? So if it's toxic masculinity, or race or gender ...
