I don't know whether that is the reason, but I guess I'm just blessed in that regard. Reading and consistent writing are key for people like me.(less)

I have several books in the works. It's actually crazy!

One of the books on which I am working is titled, "More Than Just Great Stories: Seeing the Unseen Through Christ’s Lenses." This book is a comprehensive look at the parables of Jesus in the Bible. When He told stories, no matter how mundane the details, they were always targeted to illustrate an eternal reality.

I'm also working on a book titled, "The Man That Rocks the Cradle: Giving My Son the Love I Never Had." When my wife and I found out that she was pregnant, and that we would be having a son, I was bewildered. I know that's strange, but it's true. All of my life I imagined having a little girl who would look just like her mommy. Don't get me wrong, I love our son. I just was not emotionally prepared to face the tragic vacuum of fatherly love from my own childhood. Somehow, I felt ill equipped to be a man whom a boy could love, because I did not know how that looked. Thankfully, we are making it. Our son is smothered with love, and I am so happy.

I actually came up with another book today titled, "Let the Yeas Have It: Commendation of Promise Keepers." If there is one thing I despise, it's broken promises. I know things often come up in life that alter our plans, but there are some people who seem to get a kick out of getting others' hopes high, only to disappoint them...again. I will be delighted to highlight the blessing it is to be consistent and faithful to our commitments. Vows, no matter how simple, are meant to be kept, not broken.

I will stop here. There are so many books (with the covers already designed) sitting on my back burner, awaiting completion. Humph... Maybe I should write a book about writing books that are on the back burner. Dunno. We shall see ;-)(less)

“When our son was born, my wife and I made adjustments to our lives like all parents must. The ideal in our particular family was to keep the little man out of daycare, which meant one of us would care for him in the home. For the first two years, we decided I would be the one to work from home and care for him, until we could figure a plan to have her stay home with him. With all of the crazy nighttime feedings, his need to be cuddled, and other activities, getting a good rest at night was out of the question. I had become accustomed to rising early and having personal devotions. Obviously, that became quite the challenge. My mind was becoming overwhelmed with the difficulty of functioning on very little rest. So, before this went too far, I prayed. I said something like, “Lord! You gave us this boy to nurture and care for. You want us to be the best parents possible. You are the One who taught us balance and temperance. I am feeling out of balance, Lord. I am having difficulty getting up in the mornings. And when I do get up, I can hardly concentrate on the Bible or praying. I know this is not what you intended for us. I am dedicating this certain time in the morning to you. Will you please keep our son asleep during that time so you and I can have the time you want?” Let me tell you, the Lord answered immediately! From the very next morning, even with all of the frenzy of baby activity and my overwhelming weariness, the Most High soothed and kept our son asleep until my worship time was over. And the interesting thing is, he only stayed asleep for that particular time. When the time was done, he always woke up.”

“Consistency is everything to YouTube. If you provide consistent content over a period of time, as long as the quality is good, you will find your audience and your place on the site. You may not end up a viral sensation, but if you’re not making money exclusively off of YouTube, that’s no reason to worry.”

“You cannot just assume that your husband’s sexual desires and needs will take care of themselves if you don’t do something about them. Your husband will also start showing signs that he feels neglected by you, because the intimacy he craves is no longer there in your relationship. This is why you cannot just assume your husband will overcome his sexual needs just because you aren’t there to fulfill them for the time being.”
L. David Harris, Sex Cells: 7 Keys to Fulfilling Your Husband's Most Intimate Needs

“Be ye holy; for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:13–16). No matter which version or Bible translation you use, verse 16 states God’s command for us to be holy, and immediately most professed believers think it is not possible. Some of the bolder ones believe that God’s command for us to be holy must take years of evolution to take place. After all, how can we be holy when we are so wicked naturally? Here’s the thing: If you don’t get anything else in this little book, you must recognize that holiness is not about you any more than God’s command for something to come out of nothing in the creation of the world was about you. The power and reason for our holiness is in His word/command. The ability to become that which God says, is resident in His word to the same. We will talk about this a bit more in the chapter on uprightness. All that is necessary for us to become holy is God’s omnipotent word, our God-given faith, and the miraculous outcome. Faith is the key to unleashing God’s limitless power into our lives.”

“Every day, somewhere, a writer is born. She comes into the world with a destiny: to share her words and proclaim a message. To make a difference. These words have the power to move and motivate strangers, to shake the earth and rattle the heavens. If only she would write them.”
Jeff Goins, You Are A Writer

“It is easy to be complacent and ask such questions as “Why do I need to memorize so much? Where can I find time to do that? How is it even possible to memorize so much?” Now let’s answer these questions one by one. We have already addressed why we need to memorize so much. How can we find time? Simple. If we love the Lord, we will make time to put Him first. Even as it is written, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33”
Adam Houge, How To Memorize The Bible Fast And Easy

“If you don’t have time, then make the time and be diligent to study your Bible. Memorize it faithfully. You will never memorize it unless you make a commitment to do it. This commitment requires a disciplined heart.”
Adam Houge, How To Memorize The Bible Fast And Easy

“It is worthless to memorize something you don’t understand. Take the time to study the Scriptures, then memorize the things that the Spirit has explained the context to and the meaning of to you. That way, when you understand the meaning, it will have real life application. It’s hard to retain scripture that doesn’t have any purpose for your life.”
