Proverbs 29:1 to 29:27, In-depth Study

Welcome back to another in-depth Bible study. May you have listening ears and eyes that see. Join me as we dive into Father’s word.

Proverbs 29
1 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

4 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

5 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.

9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.

11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.

13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.

14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.

15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.

17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.

20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.

22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

23 A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.

25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

26 Many seek the ruler’s favour; but every man’s judgment cometh from the LORD.

27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

Who Remembers?

Who remembers Where’s Waldo?

I have always been a HUGE fan of Waldo. Although until recently I had forgotten just how much I truly love these books.

My daughter was at the library and requested Where’s Waldo” specifically. I tried to look it up on their system with no luck. I was disappointed and shocked it was not even in their database.

So I promised to buy her one when I got the chance.

One quick Amazon search later and I found a whole series that just happened to be 40% off at the moment.

I quickly tapped the buy now button and went on with my day.

Two days later I received the notification from Amazon stating my package would be delivered that day.

Pure joy and excitement overcame me as I anticipated the upcoming delivery. I anxiously waited, quietly listen to the hum of the old jeep that still delivers my mail.

To my surprise, both of my children joined my excitement and eagerly grabbed a book to tackle together.

I smiled as I watched them at the kitchen table working together to find the objects and laughing at the undoubtedly hilarious scenes they see.

My heart filled with a sense of nostalgia and overwhelming joy.

Something so small and simple, will now be filed alongside other precious memories.

Without a doubt, the best $30 I have ever spent.

Different Path, Same God

What’s something you do completely differently from how you were raised?

What’s something I do completely differently from how you were raised?

I strive to do a lot of things differently than my parents but the first one that came to mind with this prompt is Christmas and Easter.

In my house, we do not celebrate Christmas with Santa clause. I also do not tell my children it is Jesus’s birthday, as we believe it is his conception date.

Easter is not celebrated on Easter Sunday with a bunny that somehow lays eggs to find. Instead, we celebrate Passover and call remembrance to the passover that happened in Egypt in the book of Exodus, as well as Jesus himself becoming our passover on the cross. 

I also do not tell my children that a tooth fairy breaks into our home at night and sneaks into their room to steal their teeth and leave them money. Nor is the elf on the shelf ever been an activity in our home.

While I know many disagree, it is my job to raise my children. Filling them with lies that take glory away from God in order to follow traditions of men is not a path I am willing to take. 

Before anyone jumps in the comments with Acts 12:4. I suggest taking that paticular word back to the original languages from the manuscripts.

Proverbs 28:1 to 28:28, In-depth Study

Welcome back to another in-depth Bible study. May you have listening ears and eyes that see. Join me as we dive into Father’s word.

Proverbs 28
1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

2 For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

3 A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

6 Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

8 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.

9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

10 Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.

11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.

12 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.

13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

16 The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.

18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

19 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.

22 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.

23 He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.

24 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.

25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.

26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.

To My Surprise

What’s the best thing you’ve ever found randomly on the street?

What’s the best thing I’ve ever found randomly on the street?

A cool rock of corse!

I often look at the ground searching for my next tiny treasure. A weird shaped design or just something that looks out of place. Never a certain color or shape in mind, just something that catches my eye. Sadly, I do not have picture of my favorite. That paticular one is a small smooth stone that has been shaped by water. It resembles a tiny hat that fits perfectly atop my pinky finger.

However, here is a pretty cool one I found in a parking lot in Columbus, Ohio It was half buried in the dirt beneath a bush. The right angle caught my attention, but the location suggested it was merely trash that someone had discarded. The more I looked it, the more the curiosity got the better of me. After a quick digging expedition and overcoming the feeling of being ridiculous, I pulled my treasure eye level for closer look.

I was not disappointed. I have no idea what it is, but I like it. Perhaps it was use as a tool at one time. Most likely, it is just a weird natural occurring design that now belongs in my collection.

☆Update☆

I present to you, my favorite rock 😆

Proverbs 27:1 to 27:27, In-depth Study

Welcome back to another in-depth Bible study. May you have listening ears and eyes that see. Join me as we dive into Father’s word.

Proverbs 27
1 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

3 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool’s wrath is heavier than them both.

4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?

5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.

6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

7 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.

9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.

10 Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.

17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.

20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

21 As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.

22 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.

23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.

24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?

25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.

26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.

27 And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.

Meaningful Connections

Oftentimes we adults forget that our children need and crave deep and meaningful connections. We focus on the food, shelter and clothing and sometimes neglect another need just as important. Genuine connection is crucial for a child’s development. It helps them better understand their thoughts, feelings and actions as well as how to process them. […]

Behind the Scenes: Part 2

A Quick Look at Our Early Concept Art


Before a new scene ever makes it to full color, it starts as a simple pencil sketch. I love keeping these early drafts because they capture the exact moment a story idea begins to take shape.


My kids always enjoy looking over these rough drawings during our school day and trying to guess what the characters are doing. I thought it would be fun to share this sneak peek from our latest project with you!


Rough Sketch from Sharing Kindness Wherever I Go


Every drawing helps us test out character expressions, placement, and the overall feel of the page before any final decisions are made. It is a slow, thoughtful process, but watching a scene grow step-by-step is half the fun.


Show this sketch to your little ones today! Can they guess what is happening in this scene, or what our main character might be looking at?
