[Title] => If the good Lord is willing
[Summary] => "The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for them who trust in Him." - Nahum 1:7
A line from a song that barber shop quartets like to sing goes, "If the Lord be willing, and the creek don’t rise." While it was neither an English major nor a theologian who wrote those lines, it does bring a powerful question into focus: "To what extent does God will that the creek doesn’t rise?" And there’s a second, "Why doesn’t God stop it when the creek overflows and turns into a flood?"

[Title] => What drives your life?
[Summary] => "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." – Philippians 1:21
A TV crew interviewed people on the street, asking, "What is your purpose in life?" Not expecting the question, some scratched their heads and said, "I’m not sure." Some spoke of their family’s influence in their lives. But the majority of people quickly answered, "Fun! That’s what life’s about, having as much fun as possible!"

[Title] => A tribute to Dad
[Summary] => "The righteous man leads a blameless life; blessed are his children after him.’ " – Proverbs 20:7
When it comes to parenting, most research focuses on the mother-child relationship, relegating the father to the task of bringing home the larger paycheck and being there to pay the bills. But dads are more than providers. They can make all the difference in the world. Scores of us could never have accomplished what we have in life had Dad not been part of our childhood experience.

If you have cheated your brother out of his half of the inheritance and had to flee for your life, then learned a few years later that he was coming with a small army of thugs, would you be concerned? You would be scared silly, right?

Going one on one with God is not something to be considered lightly.
Jacob went one on one with God when he wrestled with the angel. His cry was, "I won’t let you go until you bless me." Moses went one on one with God when he pled for the people he was leading.
