Sometimes I just need to draw a butterfly… When I start to panic and think about drawing some lines, I try to think “butterfly.” Let's try to be positive and spread some cheer instead of hurt and pain. What if we change, not just how we look, but how we see? You know the caterpillar … Continue reading Butterflies

Knowing
You know what our problem is many times? In my opinion it is that we think we have to know everything. Job 37: 23-24 (KJV) states, "Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. Men do therefore fear … Continue reading Knowing

Think in the natural sense, how bulbs are cut and multiplied. These plants become resistant to all kinds … Continue reading Resistant
