Seek Ancient Wisdom

“… Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls. …”-JEREMIAH 6:16

“…ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,…”

“ …as they ride on their horses;
they come like men in battle formation …”JEREMIAH 6:23

With Anticipation at Springdale Racecourse 
(circa. 1999 A.D.)

–Words of God-


“Flee for safety, people of Benjamin!
    Flee from Jerusalem!
Sound the trumpet in Tekoa!
    Raise the signal over Beth Hakkerem!

    so beautiful and delicate.
Shepherds with their flocks will come against her;
    they will pitch their tents around her,
    each tending his own portion.”

Idleness Mothers Famine.

“In arrogance, there is great ruin and great instability.”

“In arrogance, there is great ruin and great instability. In idleness, there is loss and dire poverty, for idleness is the mother of famine.”

Book of Tobit 4:13

Seeking Council

The “Answer,” one seeks is more simple than the question asked.

Are You Troubled?

As we seek council to acquire clarity amongst our confusion, the only true clarity we find can be described as a love for one’s self.

Seeking the answer from an outside source seems ludicrous after the fact, because the answer is accepted from inside our own heart, beaming-outwardly, not from the outside of our body, beaming-inwardly!

The “Answer,” one seeks is more simple than the question asked.

Keep Challenging Yourself

…Mental Plateaus…

The worst plateau to reach

as an athlete

is a mental plateau.

It is difficult to

Dig out of a hole

when you do not know

you are in one.
