Truly faithful people are easy to trust. Maybe no one will ever be more faithful than someone who has truly repented for being unfaithful. The question then becomes, how do we know if someone has truly repented? I would suggest to you, it’s not hard to tell. If someone has truly repented for being unfaithful, even the smallest thing that in any way, shape, or form resembles unfaithfulness will scare them to death. They will not only be faithful with the big things, they will also be faithful wit …

The only time we should have confidence in what we are doing is when we have extensive experience in what we are doing, and when we know we are in line with God’s Word. Lacking confidence is not always a bad thing. Often times, it’s a good thing. It’s an indication we need to learn more. In my own life, even in the few areas I have a lot of confidence, I have learned to play dumb. Not to fool anyone, but only so I can learn from them. Sometimes the people who know nothing about the thing you kno …

The whole idea that we should do what we feel is right or go where our emotions lead us is a lie told to destroy us. It’s a lie told so fear can use you for what it wants with no regard for what it will cost you. If I wanted to control and wreck the future of every child in the world, I would tell them to just follow their feelings at all cost. I would tell them to fight for “their” rights instead of fighting for what is right. I would tell them to find a way to justify their feelings. Please, p …

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 …
