It’s early December and the Christmas season is upon us. All the lights are up in our neighborhood and all the boxes are down in our home while we decorate inside. The stores are stuffed with merchandise. It certainly is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. No other month dominates our calendar like December. There is the decorating …
Taking Ground with Shea Fite
I recently sat down with a dear friend to talk about life as well as my book, What Matters Most. I hope you enjoy.
Perhaps
As I was reading Scripture recently and praying over what I read, I realized how my experiences and circumstances have led me to doubt his faithfulness and to doubt that he will answer my prayers. In Job 33, the youngest of Job’s friends rebukes Job for his complaining and refutes his complaint. “But I tell you, in this you are …
“ALL YOU CAN WRITE IS WHAT YOU SEE” – Woody Guthrie
The longer I live the more I realize how little I know about so many things. This includes things for which I have studied or worked very hard for and things which hold great interest for me.

In any endeavor, it helps to have examples and the leadership of others to follow. In the case of humility, the list is probably shorter than in other endeavors.

What a gift life is. Possibilities and opportunities abound. We can fill our hearts and minds with an endless array of information and activity. Life is an adventure and along the journey there are seasons of joy and blessing. Equally there are seasons of difficulty and despair. There is planting and growth, and there is pruning and death. The adventure …
