Memo From the MannSuch As TheseMy wife adores the idea that I will watch out for her, that I will provide for her, and that I will always love her. That’s not to say that she isn’t an individual of intelligence, substance, and compassion, but one of her greatest gifts to me, was her relationship with the child that resides inside of her. It’s opened the door for me to re-introduce my grown self, to little Eddy.
My daughter, when she was very young, used to draw cityscapes. You know, streets with people and houses. One day she showed me her...2025-05-1902 minMemo From the MannGetting RightHave you ever found yourself correcting others under your breath? How about out loud?
Have you found yourself being an elitist ... feeling superior because of your standing in the community, or your education?
Well in the interest of being honest, I was brought up in Philadelphia, PA ...where when it comes to sports everybody seems to believe that they are better coaches, managers, GM’s and owners than anyone else. Okay, admittedly we can be a bit over-the-top at times.

As the hymn writer wrote, “I once was blind, but now can see.” What shines there before the believer, is completely missing from the lost.
Darkness will overcome your human efforts to see. (The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. ~ John 1:5). Only the Light will overcome the darkness. Only by faith can we see the truth, see the answer, see and then embrace the saving.

There could be a myriad of obstacles getting in the way of us seeing the truth, but we need to somehow reconcile that.
We often need some kind of help in stepping back and getting a better or more honest perspective on ourselves and our life. Distance, both physically and over time, seems to be a good mechanism in which to make that happen. So regardless of the method we use, we need to pursue...2025-04-2801 minMemo From the MannJust Have FaithLet’s talk about faith, or our lack of it today.

Living the Dream with CurveballThe Spiritual Journey of Eddy Mann: From Secular Musician to Soul SongwriterSend us a textFrom painfully shy child to prolific songwriter with over twenty albums, Eddy Mann's musical journey defies easy categorization.

Our following is an apprenticeship of sorts. Committing to becoming an apprentice means a time of work and study; a time of developing and refining one’s skills; a time now (of work) that is set aside for a future endeavor (rewards).

Sure they share some family traits, (and certainly our family culture), but they also have personalities that can sometimes be surprisingly dissimilar... but regardless of their differing personas, I love them both the same.
Through their lives they have both found their own distinct ways of challenging my patience, my faith... and my fatherhood. I’ve had to witness their rebellion, their suffering, and thankfully, gratefully... their blessing.

I’m undeniably an early riser, so taking care of such a thing seems natural. Admittedly, I get an energy bump when I lift the shades and or spread the curtains to reveal a bright sunny day. On those special days I want to expose as much beauty as possible, so I work at making sure we get as much exposure as is available.

We speak, text, and use whatever media is available to complain, critique, and cry-out about whatever is not going the way we think it should. We do this more and more freely, without ever considering the hands of the one who is truly in control.
We don’t have the capacity to think on his level, so maybe it shouldn’t surprise us that we don’t understand how he works.

It leaves no loop holes to wiggle out of, or rhetoric to creatively spin. It simply asks where and or what is our treasure.

...for then I was better off than now.’ ~ Hosea 2:7
Have you ever found yourself regretting a change. Maybe you thought switching your job would bring you more money and happiness. Maybe you bought a new car or home looking for a better life. Maybe you moved on from a relationship and were sorry afterwards. Have you heard yourself say, “well, that wasn’t good.”
In Hosea 2:7 we read where Hosea’s wife, Gomer, an adulteress (who represents Israel in this passage), realizes that she was better o...2024-06-2402 minMemo From the MannDon't Be Alarmed“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. ~ Mark 16:7
The angel’s message is still comforting today. When Jesus doesn’t appear to be around you, when he doesn’t appear to be close, when he doesn’t appear to be in your midst ...he is.
He’s never behind trying to catch up with our lives. He’s never too busy to know what we’re living through. He’s never deaf to our calling, our crying, or our prayer.
We’re told that he has gone ahead of us ...our way has already been prepared...2024-06-1702 minMemo From the MannThe UnconfirmingThose crucified with him also heaped insults on him. ~ Mark 15:32
Have you ever witnessed a small child get set in their ways. They perceive a situation through their very young eyes and mind and you can’t persuade them any different. They normally have to act out with some form of intolerance. They cry out, they stamp their feet, ...holding their breath, that’s a good one ... they usually do this until they tire out and then either fall asleep or forget why is was they were so upset.
At the crucifixion in (Mark 15) there was...2024-06-1002 minMemo From the MannA Gethsemane WinkThe spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” ~ Mark 14:38
I admit right here, and right now that I am weak, that I have moments where I lose control, that I have a dark secret, that I have an addiction ...to dark chocolate. Yes, I also have other food addictions, but not withstanding them, I continue.
My spiritual life has been in good condition these past number of years. It’s been a steady deepening of understanding, and a closer relationship with God, but saying that, I have to be clear that my flesh has not...2024-06-0302 minMemo From the MannAwaiting and Anticipating Our Arrival Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come.
~ Mark 13:33
Our demise here on this earth is a guarantee, it’s a definite, you can bet your life on it. (Sorry for that little play on words there).
Knowing that, we find ourselves in a place where we don’t have any idea when and or where that day will happen. We don’t have a single clue!
Now in context, this verse (Mark 13:33) is speaking Biblically of the end times, but when are days come to an e...2024-05-2701 minMemo From the MannOne's Province (Walk of Life)but she, out of her poverty, put in everything ~ Mark 12:44
I often foolishly offer that my happiness is in opposite proportion to my lack of debt. That is to say that I carry no debt, and believe that I live a happier, more content, and stress free life because of it.
Now the premise is that I don’t have money problems which relieves the weight, and stress, that accompanies them. My wife and I make our purchases in cash. We have learned to wait until we can afford an item before we bring it ho...2024-05-2002 minMemo From the MannThe ColtHave you seen the money people are spending on collectibles lately? An amazing amount of money has been, and is, being spent on all sorts of things that have been in the possession of the famous (often worth more when they’re no longer with us). I don’t personally adhere to this behavior, but then again I’ve never been an autograph hound either.
So I’m reading in Mark 11 about the arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem, and something jumps out at me. Something that screams ‘Ebay!’
Listen to this and see if you know where I...2024-05-1302 min

Each new day is unlike any we’ve experienced before, and to negotiate our way through it successfully we need some guidance, and that is what God reveals today in Isaiah 58:11. Not only does he say he’ll guide us, but he says he’ll always guide us.
Pray on,

Lysa is the co author of the book Attached at the Heart. This book offers readers practical parenting advice for the modern age. In its most basic form, "attachment parenting" is instinctive. A crying baby is comforted and kept close to parents for protection. If hungry, he or she is breastfed. And while it is understood that there is no such thing as perfect parenting, research suggests that there is a strong correlation between a heightened sense of respect, empathy, and affection in those children raised the "attachment parenting" way. 2016-07-1843 min
