“Watch the Daddy”

When people read the story of the prodigal son, the spotlight usually falls on the son—his rebellion, his fall, and his return. But today, let’s watch the daddy.

The father let his son go, because love gives freedom. He waited, because love is patient. He ran, because love moves faster than shame. He restored it, because love doesn’t keep you at servant status. And he reminded the older brother that love never runs out.

Now here’s something to think about: real daddies don’t usually run—they wait. Time teaches patience, but patience is something many have not yet developed. Young people often want things in an instant, but a real father knows that some lessons can only be learned with time.

This story isn’t just about a wayward son—it’s about a loving Father. No matter how far you’ve gone or how broken you feel, your heavenly Father is watching, waiting, and ready to run toward you with open arms.

Don't miss the message trying to figure out the Messenger. You guys better stay with me. I'm going somewhere with these inspirations. Have a terrific Tuesday. Let's go!

Dealing with the Housing Shortage: Housing Shortage Hits America—and the Church

America’s housing crisis is real—but the spiritual housing shortage is just as urgent; make sure your home is built to withstand the enemy’s huff and puff.

In America, there’s a shortage of 3.7–7.1 million homes. Affordable rentals are even harder to find—only 35 are available for every 100 extremely low-income households. More than half of renters are spending too much of their income just to keep a roof over their heads, and rents keep climbing.

But there’s another housing shortage we don’t talk about enough—a spiritual one. Many homes are no longer filled with prayer, peace, and God’s presence. The devil has moved in, bringing division, fear, and confusion.

It reminds me of the story of the Three Little Pigs. The big bad wolf huffed and puffed until he blew down the houses made of straw and sticks. Only the brick house stood strong. Spiritually speaking, the devil plays the same game—testing our foundations.

If your life is built on weak materials—compromise, neglect of prayer, or ignoring God’s Word—you’ll find it hard to stand. But if you build with the bricks of faith, prayer, obedience, and God’s truth, no storm or wolf can bring you down.

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock." – Matthew 7:24

Build it right, and no wolf can blow it down.

Series #4 of #4

Energetic Defense: Armor Up!
Protecting Your Peace, Purpose, and Power

Energetic defense isn’t just a wellness trend—it’s a biblical principle. It’s about guarding your emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being from negativity, distractions, and spiritual attacks. In a world where peace is rare, we must intentionally protect what God has placed inside of us.

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” — Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)

Your heart is your spiritual security system. God has already given you the gear—the whole armor of God.

Spiritual Defense Tool

Boundaries—Say no without guilt. Protect your peace. Proverbs 4:23

Grounding—Stay rooted in God’s Word. → Ephesians 3:17

Shielding—Visualize God's covering. → Psalm 18:30

Cleansing – Let prayer and worship purify you. → Psalm 51:10

Affirmations & Prayer – Speak life. → Proverbs 18:21

Mindfulness & Meditation – Be still and listen. → Isaiah 26:3

Avoid Energy Drainers—Everyone can’t go where God’s taking you.
1 Corinthians 15:33

Armor Up (Ephesians 6:11–17)

Belt of Truth—Stay rooted in identity.
Breastplate of Righteousness – Guard your heart.
Shoes of Peace—Walk with confidence.
Shield of Faith—Block fear and doubt.
Helmet of Salvation—Protect your mind.
Sword of the Spirit—Use the Word.

Final Thought: Spiritual warfare is real—but so is your protection.
Armor up. Pray up. Guard up.
“Put on the whole armor of God…” — Ephesians 6:11 (KJV)

Farewell to the “Conserving Your Mental Energy series.
As we close this series, I pray it’s been enlightening, empowering, and a tool you’ll return to often. Mental energy is precious—conserve it wisely.

I’m going to step away from posting for a bit to recharge my own mental battery. These messages often take an hour or two to write, design, and send. I could post daily to The Daily Dose, but I simply don’t have those extra hours right now.

I’ve tried to guide readers to the page and even started a blog years ago as places to receive daily encouragement—but traffic has been slow. Still, I’ll figure it out. I’m committed to finding a better way to share more content more consistently.

Stay with me. This is just a pause, not a goodbye. More inspiration—and soul-soothing music—is on the way. I’ll see you guys for Mindful Monday. Don’t miss the message trying to figure out the Messenger. I’m going somewhere with these inspirations.

Have a Thoughtful Thursday. Let’s go!

Conserving Your Mental Energy: Dealing with People Be Like Soap Opera Style

Some days I need a Guiding Light just to get through it, because As the World Turns, so do folks’ moods! I try to love All My Children (even the grown ones), but I’ve only got One Life to Live, and I’m not spending it at General Hospital from stress!

These days, it seems like The Young and the Restless are running the show, while I’m trying to be The Bold and the Beautiful—but I’m really just trying to survive The Days of Our Lives.

Dealing with people will have you feeling like you’re in Another World, praying for peace in Santa Barbara, holding onto Ryan’s Hope, and pacing near The Edge of Night wondering if tomorrow will be better (so you start your Search for Tomorrow).

I try to keep on Loving, but sometimes I want to run out of The City, head straight to the Capitol, and pass a bill to block all foolishness. But then again, everyone’s got their Passions—even if they belong in Port Charles with the rest of the drama!

The Lord has already given us instructions on what we should focus on, but the TV and cellphones provide the distribution.

So let's meditate on this scripture as we continue down the road of this series. “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” — Philippians 4:8

Don't miss the message trying to figure out the Messenger. You guys better stay with me. I'm going somewhere with these inspirations. Have a whimsical Wednesday.

Protect Your Energy: What's Draining Your Battery? Series #2 of #4

"Iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." – Proverbs 27:17

Just like a car battery, our energy—mental, emotional, and spiritual—can be drained if we’re not paying attention. Here's how life mirrors the principles of mechanics:

1. Leaving headlights or interior lights on overnight

Spiritually: Dwelling too long on past mistakes or negative thoughts can drain your joy.

Lesson: Don’t keep shining lights on what God has already forgiven or fixed.

2. Old or faulty alternator

In life: A broken support system or bad habits can keep you from recharging.

Lesson: Surround yourself with people and routines that pour back into you.

3. Parasitic drain

Emotionally: Toxic relationships, hidden stressors, or unresolved trauma silently pull energy—even when life seems “off.”

Lesson: Identify and unplug the things that drain you quietly.

4. Corroded or loose battery cables

Spiritually: A weak prayer life or lack of connection with God can make you feel off.

Lesson: Keep your connection with the Source strong and clean.

5. Extreme temperatures

In life: Overexposure to drama, chaos, or stress can wear you down quickly.

Lesson: Protect your peace and don't stay too long in heated or frozen situations.

6. Short trips

Emotionally: Rushing from one thing to the next without rest never gives you time to truly recover.

Lesson: Make space for rest and reflection—your soul needs a full charge too.

7. Aging battery

In life: Trying to run today on yesterday’s strength or an old mindset just won’t work.

Lesson: Recharge daily with God’s Word, prayer, and positive people.

Stay Connected. Stay Charged. Positive people are like booster cables—they help jumpstart your spirit and keep you going.

Conserving Your Mental Energy – Series #4: Energy Conservation

"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."
– Proverbs 4:23

As we begin this four-part series on Conserving Your Mental Energy, let’s take a moment to reflect on the power of energy conservation—not just in the physical sense, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Life will present us with countless opportunities, conversations, and interactions. But I’ve come to realize that not all of them are worth my energy. Like money, my energy is a form of currency—and my supply is limited. I’ve learned that if I’m not intentional, I’ll find myself emotionally overdrawn, mentally exhausted, and spiritually depleted.

That’s why I’ve become more mindful of how and where I spend my energy. Some people and situations are like emotional debit cards—constantly withdrawing, but never depositing. I've made the conscious choice to guard my peace and invest my energy in things and people that matter. My mental protons and neutrons are reserved for purpose, not pettiness.

Protecting your energy isn’t selfish—it’s wisdom. It’s survival. It’s spiritual stewardship. Just as we manage our finances, we must steward our peace. Philippians 4:7 reminds us that “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

So remember:

You don’t have to attend every emotional storm you’re invited to.

It’s okay to say no.

It’s okay to outgrow people, places, and patterns that no longer serve your peace.

Rest isn’t a reward—it’s a requirement.

Boundaries aren’t barriers—they’re bridges to better.

This is your time to conserve, recharge, and shine where it counts. Let’s walk through this series together, fully charged and fully aware.

Don't miss the message trying to figure out the Messenger. You guys better stay with me. I'm going somewhere with these inspirations. Have a mindful Monday.

The Daily Dose

Seeing 444 everywhere? It’s God’s way of saying, “I’m here, you’re protected, keep building — I’m lining it all up for you.” Stay with me… we’re just getting started.

The number 4 has always been my favorite. Lately, it’s been chasing me down—not just once, but three times over. Morning, noon, or night, I glance at my phone and see 444.

I’ve learned not to ignore these things. Repeated signs are often whispers from the Holy Spirit. Seeing 444 isn’t random; it’s packed with meaning:

God is with me. 444 is heaven’s way of saying, “You’re not alone. I’ve got angels all around you.”
I’m building something that will last. 444 reminds me to keep laying strong foundations in my faith, my work, and my relationships.
I’m on the right path. It serves as a divine affirmation, encouraging me to continue. I see you.”

God is bringing it all together. Just like on the fourth day of creation, He’s putting things in order in my life.
Trust the process. 444 serves as a reminder to remain grounded and continue progressing, even when I am unable to fully comprehend the entire picture.
So if you start seeing 444, like I do, smile. It’s a holy reminder that God is near, your foundation is getting stronger, and He’s orchestrating your steps in ways you can’t imagine.

Don’t miss the message trying to figure out the Messenger. You better stay with me—I’m going somewhere with these inspirations.
Have a thoughtful Thursday. Let’s go!
