for the chance to study God’s word. I have been a part of BSF for more than 20 years. I have learned how to study God’s Word but more so I have developed a relationship with God that guides my life.
I have had the privilege of attending different groups and seeing what God is doing in different locations. I have been through many books of the Bible, some several times, yet each time is like a new experience. I learn about God in a different way.
I had no idea that this would change my life the way it did. I am grateful.
I am guilty of it. Sometimes I save up all the questions to handle them on one day of the week. But I cheat myself when I do that because God has something to say to me everyday. I miss out.
Study God’s word daily. He has something to day to you. Listen. I mean knows how everything ends.
I have lived on the plains most of my life. (North Texas) There are two seasons. Hot and hot.
A couple of years in Chicago have taught me to appreciate the seasons. I never dreamed there was a place where the average temperature is 50 degrees. I love it!
I am spending my day watching Hamilton to remind myself of what this country is all about. Granted, it was not built with me in mind, but I’ll take it. Our idea of government was designed for white male landowners. It had to ensure that the people of Rhode Island had the same power as the people of Pennsylvania. But from this people came ideas like the story of Alexander Hamilton.
I early voted so I am sitting back and waiting on the results like everyone else. What I love about it is we are seizing the opportunity to make the system work for us, even though it is not easy. People have ideas of what the United States is all about, but we are all beginning to see that it is not what we thought. It is even better. We gotta werk!
I have participated in the voting process since I was 18. I love it. I believe in it. I have seen it work, but you have to commit to it. I am excited that so many people have registered and voted. It is going to make the jury pool look amazing.
This country is designed to work with citizens participating in the process. We have gotten lazy and wanted someone else to do it for us. We have settled for the lazy, criminal element and have lived with the consequences of it. 2020 is the year we hold people accountable. It is the year we take back our process.
Remember ya’ll we are still a relatively a young country. Lets not throw away our shot.
In How to Raise a God Wise Kid, I explain that prayer has to become something you do all the time. It has to become a way of life. Eventually you learn that you are a better person for it.
In the month of November, I will examine the things that I am grateful that I have access to through images. The things or individuals I am most grateful for is family. This is how we live our life because God has been good to us. This image was taken when we had littles. They would love an afternoon at the park.
This month examine how God has been good to you. Write down those things you are grateful for.
For many years I never saw Art that reflected my life and values. I was forced to imagine what their work meant. I have learned to share my life and values through my art. I hope you get me.
