Created page with "{{answer infobox |Short Answer: First, make sure you have discretionary income to use - that is the money left over after taxes, rent, food, utilities, clothing, savings, etc. When you enter the casino, the 1% rule is a good place to start [ex. if you want to play a $10 table, have at least $1,000 dollars available]. If you really want to stretch your dollars, enter tournaments as a small buy-in may give you many more times in chips, will give you significantly more play..." current

While this is a lifelong process of learning, I will share some personal experiences as an example. The general idea my family has followed is that if we stay within His will, we will live in His blessing and have peace. Further, if we are doing the work that He has for us, whatever it may be, He will be the Provider so we are able to fo..." current

Over the last few months, the Almighty has been leading us in different directions to prepare for this new lifestyle. It is much different planning to go out for many months, or even years, with no permanent home to return to than it is planning for a weekend camping. All the supplies for living life h..." current

Yet there are a few quotes from favorite characters that I do remember. In a sci-fi series, there was a character and in one episode he asked "how do you know you have honor if you do not fight battles and build empires?". Although it was not a theme to my life, I valued this phrase because it fed into my struggle to become a known artist. Photography, for me, had grown beyo..." current

Because of this, it should come as no surprise that this is an area where He has tested or challenged me several times to show that He is worthy of this trust and that I should have no fear.

At this time I can say yes, there is meaning to life ... and understanding His creation has allowed me to appreciate it all the more. Perhaps the greatest thing I have learned about actually living life, rather than having only a lifestyle, is learning to love. Relationships have become important while physical things like possessions and wealth are not a concern. When life become..."

As we prayed, it seemed we were to be there. It was short notice, would take at least two weeks, and we would be camping in our tent. After the event, one extra stop was chosen on the return back to the Northwest. This was few days at Ar..." current

This would include the idea of what is unseen and not empirically testable such as the idea of active blessings and cursings as well as the idea of angels and demons effecting our lives. I do not recall the church in which I grew up dealing with these issues and the secular world treats such i..." current

In high school, I probably had the interest to date, but had not the means. We lived in the far outer reaches of the school district in the countryside. I did not have a drivers license until late in High School, and throughout school I was not encourage with extracurricular activities.

Although Kent Hovind was not the most scientific nor theologically accurate of the creationist speakers, he did have the benefit that he allowed people to copy his material and redistribute it. And this video is good enough to make me realize that there was a significant difference between the word of the Almighty which I sai..."

It was an unusual job and did not pay much as only a successful match received any compensation, but it was eye-opening into the practice of individuals and businesses. In every..." current

Several years later, my skill and artistry had progressed to the point that I received my own gallery exhibition on a local level. The title of the show was 'Exploring our World'.

This typically comes from our perspective and understanding of life. It can be temporary or long term. It helps us determine what we do and how we do it. For example, if I am driving down the road looking for a gas station, I will miss the many shops, grocery stores, and other things to be seen but my mind will notice the many gas stations to be found.

It became quickly apparent that photography was not the career our Heavenly Father had for me. Furthermore, many things about my photography and the subjects I had worked with were actually a hindrance to my growth as a believer. I needed to let go and repent of what had become part of my life. Was the work really that bad? Yes. As an exam..."
