Fighting the devil is a trap! The answer is fighting to live a loving life, or you can say fighting for more Jesus in your life, because He is love. More love (Jesus) equals less devil (I don’t even like saying the word devil). If you have not already, then please read “The Right Fight -How to Live a Loving Life.” I promise I’m not trying to sell books. All I want to do is share the most powerful truths I have ever learned in my life, so they can also set you free. If you can’t afford a copy of …

We must first understand our children are new to this life. They really don’t know how to sort out their feelings with what is right. We shouldn’t tolerate their selfishness but we also need to understand they really don’t know the truth yet. We need to take the time to explain to them how to put themselves in the other persons shoes. We must teach them how to love others as if they were them. If we take the time to help them understand that we want them to live a selfless life for their own sak …

Our first responsibility is always to make sure we are not the ones that need to be changing. If we have the courage to look inside ourselves, we will find we are always in need of change. That said, if someone else is in need of so much change that a relationship depends on it, then we must pray about how long we should wait. We must also love them enough to challenge them to change at all cost. If they really refuse to change and we keep lovingly challenging them, many times they will walk awa …

THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE IS THE HAND THAT RULES THE WORLD. BLESSINGS on the hand of women! Angels guard its strength and grace. In the palace, cottage, hovel, Oh, no matter where the place; Would that never storms assailed it, Rainbows ever gently curled, For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world. Infancy's the tender fountain, Power may with beauty flow, Mothers first to guide the streamlets, From them souls unresting grow— Grow on for the good or evil, Sunshine …

@faithelice is my best deck hand! She was raised on this Airboat grabbing baby gators as a baby herself. She didn’t just rescue this dog she rescued and helped lift 70 or more adults into this boat today. So proud of my baby girl. She fell asleep on the way home. Love seeing my girl rest. Pray for these people. Lots of older couples and many with health issues. One man was bedridden floating in his bed so afraid of drowning he was crying. @faithelice helped get him in the boat and to a hotel. Ta …

Jack couldn’t be found as the rain fell hard. 48 inches of rain in 36 hours. He managed to survive the storm and survive 3 days in the flood before we got to him. He was so excited to see us he was whining. Hurt is an opportunity for love to grow. Our responsibility is to run to the storm not from it. It’s in the storm that lives are changed. Psalm 23,”The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.He restoreth my soul: …

Got over 20 inches of rain last night.....Several calls this morning from people trapped in their homes. Tried to leave without @faithelice this morning and she looked at me and said what do you think you are doing because there was no way I was leaving without her and It’s a good thing she came, we made a few rescues I couldn’t have done alone. We have been going for over 8 hours now. Never thought I would see another Harvey but we did today. Please pray for the thousands of families affected i …

Unreal what can happen in 12 hours of insane rain. Nothing more powerful than the difference a simple helping hand can make. Thank you Jesus for loving me despite myself and helping me learn what love really is and how it works. Forever grateful even in the storms. John 15:13 greater love has no one than this....to lay down their life for their friend. Because I love Jesus you are all my friends. …

In a lifetime, a man may be forced to defend others from physical harm a few times, unless he has volunteered his life to defend others on a daily basis in the military or law enforcement. God bless them! For the rest of us, if faced with the challenge, we should be prepared and willingly accept the risk. I always knew this, but what I never considered or prepared enough for was that on a daily basis, I had a responsibility to protect others, and even those I love most from myself. (Not suggesti …
