Psalm 101 that reminds me of college class titles for my Freshman year at Faulkner University in the mid-1980's (English 101, Dr. Kelly Morris).  In a way Psalm 101 is a basic class, that is basic instruction on how to walk the talk.  Psalms 101 is the King's (David's) description on living with integrity - LIFE 101. … Continue reading Life 101

Last week, I took a break. Amy and I went on our pre-anniversary trip. Since she is a school teacher, taking a trip on our actual anniversary is difficult since the actual date is right after school starts. Because of that annual conflict we decided to make a trip in the summer as a pre-anniversary … Continue reading What Love is . . .
