ASK #024 - I'm Back

  I’m Back!! written: September 20th, 2022 Well I initially thought I would start with an apology for my absence, but decided “NOPE” Instead I will tell you of my journey since I last podcasted.  It was some time in about mid June that I last recorded and since then much has occurred.  I could think of all that has gone “wrong” or I could just count it all as God’s sovereign plan for my life.  And I choose to go with the second option.   There are events, activities, plans and simple happenings that occur in each and everyone of our lives.  We aren’t always given a choice as to whether or not we want to have these occurrences happen to us or for us.  However we are ALWAYS given a choice as to how we will respond in such instances.   So back in June I was teaching for Saratoga Regional YMCA.  I was happy and very blessed with my job.  My coworkers were awesome and my supervisor was on point.  The job itself was “perfect.”...

ASK #007 - God's Call on a Christian Marriage

 written:  December 19, 2021 God's Call on a Christian Marriage God gives us all a calling on our lives.  We need to open our eyes and hearts to His calling.  Not only does he have a calling on our own individual lives He places several callings on every Christian  marriage.  God has a specific purpose for each Christian marriage in addition to special callings for some marriages.   When we fix our eyes on Him we can see His purpose for our lives.   There are several general callings that every Christian marriage has.   The first of these is PRAYER .   Prayer is a simple way to communicate with God.  Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV) Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. You are to become a praying couple.  It is i...
