I suppose the combination of the July 4th holiday being on the horizon combined with the events in Iran have caused me to think a lot lately about being free. We talk about our freedoms and whether (or to what extent) they are being eroded by the current politics in the US. So my mind [...]

In verse 9 he writes, “Oh, [...]

Quiet Time June 2, 2009: Thank God for New Beginnings
June 3rd, 2009 · No Comments · Dan's Quiet Time
As I read Proverbs 2 this morning I was struck by the fact that every month I restart my reading of this great book of wisdom. In much the same way, each month I get a new and clean slate to build a productive life upon.
The last few days have literally been a whirlwind for [...]
