There have been a few principles I have picked up from others who were not in my immediate circle of care that nonetheless became a permanent part of me. Most of these are good old solid biblical truths, and a few are just common-sense wisdom, handed down by a generation or two that knew how important it was to live with integrity, godly values, and what they used to call "horse sense."

This book was written in part to hand down to those who have heard them and who will perhaps make them part of their own spiritual DNA as they seek to follow Him and His Word and allow their lives to speak to the next generation, should Jesus not return soon.

My prayer is that the foundational truths and common "horse sense" wisdom I share here, that became the framework of my faith and calling, may also become part your own foundation in Christ or principles of ministry. May they serve you well, as they have me.
