Devo Fuel: {Soul Seeking GPS}"The land of a rich man was very productive.And he began reasoning to himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops ?Then he said, 'This is what I will do : I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.' And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to

Post Proposal, Sunday morning after the lovely continental breakfast at the Holiday Inn Express, by the way it was very nice hotel and I recommend staying at one if your on a budget but would like at least a three star stay.We headed down "cannery row" to the Monterey Bay Aquarium which use to be an actual cannery (anchovies & calamari) back in the early 50's and 60's. I love going to the

Last Saturday, the day before the infamous proposal, we traveled down to Monterey to the Spirit West Coast Festival. Its a three day event that takes place at the dusty Laguna Seca Race way and we just went for the last day. I have been there before in college and it was a fun time.It took us a little over 3 hrs to drive down with minimal traffic. We took two cars and caravan down with Jerry &

Devo Fuel: {God uses the Wicked}When evil people affect our lives, we often wonder how God could permit such a thing. Humanly, the question makes sense. But it’s possible that we won’t ever understand the reason wickedness was allowed to touch us.However, the Lord gives several assurances to sustain us during these times. First, God reminds us that His ways and thoughts are higher than ours. Then

Who do you Fear?"The LORD is my light and my salvation ; Whom shall I fear ? The LORD is the defense of my life ; Whom shall I dread ? When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell. Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear ; Though war arise against me, In spite of this I shall be confident. One thing I have asked from the

Devo Fuel: {Live Life the path of Truth}"I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6)Many today say there is not such thing as absolute truth. From philosophers to pop musicians, the word goes out that "truth" is only what you want it to be, and what is "true" for you isn't necessarily "true" for anyone else. But Jesus Christ is absolute truth. Dozens of times He declares, "I tell you the

"Assembly Required" As the summer heats up my friends that have purchased new homes recently (Albert, Josh, Todd) all suggested that I install ceiling fan's in the house to save energy and my electric bill.Last weekend, Julia and I stopped by Lowe's and picked up a 52 inch ceiling fan/light with remote control for a sales price of $60(fan) + $12(EE-bulbs) x 0.10% off= $64.80 total).

"Aloha!" - One of my favorite drinks is Hawaiian Sun Natural Guava Nectar.It takes me back to my childhood years when I would visit my great grandmother in Hawaii on the island of Honolulu every summer. I would play in the back yard on the short crab grass and run through her vegetable garden with my sister. I can feel the warm humid breeze of the pinapple fields on my skin and the white sands
