People that know me well hear me quote my mother often. She had many “sayings” that have helped shape me into the man I am today. One of them was her response to a child’s pleading for something. If I would say, “but I really need this thing”, she would simple ask, “Do you need… Continue reading A Need or a Want?

What Controls Our Focus?
If you are like me, you have wondered many times how Adam was lead to sin in the middle of Paradise. How could he do what God told him not to do after walking and talking with his Creator in the Garden? I also wonder why the Bible calls it Adam’s sin.
