Welcome to this blog. In today’s superficial and often deceptive world we all need positive, encouraging truth to guide us, train us, and assure us. I find that truth in God and I try to pass it on. As a father and high school teacher I have had the opportunity to listen to, empathize with, advise, and challenge my children and my students. The following notes capture some of those interactions. Hopefully they benefit you also.

In writing I have tried to be genuine, humble, and open to listening and learning from God. I also try to put the advice into practice by God’s grace and power. As a reader I hope you approach these notes the same way. I pray they bless you and inspire you to become all God has designed for you to be and to do for his glory. He believes in you and wants the best for you. So do I. The most valuable gift I can give is to build you and others up and to help you draw near to God through Jesus. In time I hope God becomes your closest friend, your brightest future, and your deepest love.

Your friend and teacher,
Greenelsh

214 Head Home

You were meant for more than this world offers. Your home is meant to be with God who created you and loves you. Though it can be hard in a world which is hostile to God, reconcile with God by trusting Jesus as your savior. Then invite others home with you.

Speaking and acting out of line with what is good, right, and loving causes a disconnect with the reality you were meant to experience. It separates you from God and others. With God’s help you don’t have to live that way.
