As a child, my father would sometimes watch boxing matches at night. I distinctly remember the announcers in Atlantic City or other places who would get up and say in their most entertaining voices, “Are you ready to rumble?” Boxing was not a sport I was fond of, but watching it was better than going […]
Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. Proverbs 2:3-4 Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Psalm 127:1
Friends who have spent time in prayer with me have at times found reason to giggle because of the way that I relate to the Father. It is not unusual if I sneeze or cough during prayer that I would say, “Excuse me, Lord.” It’s not something I do on purpose, but a natural reaction
