When I Wake Up
Psa 17:15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. Soon, all believers will awake to sleep no more. Oh, how our senses shall operate in full capacity when we awake in the likeness of our Savior. The sights and sounds, the smells and textures that await us on heaven's bright shore are unattainable to our present dull abilities to experience. But greatest of all will be to behold the...
Fine Homebuilding Magazine Article
From Fine Homebuilding211, pp. 16-22April 29, 2010"Remodeling and construction are service businesses, not commodity businesses. In a slow economy especially, homeowners and architects are well advised to remember this fact when selecting contractors. Although bidding can provide a homeowner with a low initial price to do a project, it is likely not a good way to select a contractor to get high construction quality. To do this, it is best to choose...

No Holiday for Fools
Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!Psa 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. Poor foolish infidels! They have no One to praise for their blessings on Thanksgiving. At Advent, their manger lies empty, devoid of divinity. Their calls to "Dial-a-Prayer" go unanswered. Presidents Day is a misery due to the strong faith of Washington and Lincoln. Martin Luther...

Can I Move From Back Office to Front Office at an Investment Bank?
I read this article from the Wall Street Journal today titled 'Breaking Into the Finance Field' by Elizabeth Garone (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304023804575566080808274148.html?mod=WSJ_Careers_CareerJournal_4) and I thought it was a great reminder about the difficulty candidates face in trying to make the jump from back office to front office work at an investment bank.

The Full Bounty
Psa 13:5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. Psa 13:6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. Let's imagine that you feel the Lord has forgotten you, that He has hidden His face from you. Pretend that your heart is laden daily with sorrow, that you have enemies on every hand, they knock you down and stand over you, taunting you. Your eyes are so weary from crying that you think...

America, in Danger of Hell Fire
Psa 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Even with a godly heritage, our once great nation is in imminent danger of damnation.

Wallbuilders.org will supply any inquiring mind all the information required to ascertain whether the founders of our country were Christians, deists, agnostics or atheists. Fact:...

How Excellent is Thy Name! (and how inefficient our ability to express praise)
Psa 8:1 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. Psa 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. Psa 8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; Psa 8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man,...

My friend just finished a little big bathroom makeover for her daughters bath , she hated all this bossy blue the previous homeowners chose it , blue counters, blue floor and a totally unrelated blue shower tile , she originally painted it a neutral tone but it didn't help , it probably made it a little worse, the blues that is , so after hanging around me for a long while she wondered if adding bead board would help ? and adding some white and...
