This
is not your typical devotional. But then again, I do not do typical.
Most guys don't have a lot of time to read. Plus, we tend to lose focus
if we read for too long. I wrote this collection of 52 short stories
with that in mind. You can take only take 10 to 15 minutes a week to
hopefully help you focus on God and set your direction for the week. Or
you can read it through during the week to reflect. The devotional is
full of humor and at times deep sadness. But isn't that what life is
full of? The truth is that God is not surprised by any circumstance in
our lives and is there in every moment. He is laughing with us in the
fun times and weeping in the sad times. Hindsight was not a working
title as I was writing but was the only sensible name I could give the
book after reading and editing it. We have to look back at our life and
see where God was faithful so we that we can be assured that he will
continue to be faithful in our present and future.Many devotionals that I
have read through the years have been good but usually somewhere along
the way get “preachy” or “dry”. I have attempted and I hope accomplished
keeping this work a fun but thoughtful read. These are all true stories
from my life, some stories are funny, and some are painful but each one
has helped me in the writing to learn a valuable lesson that God has
sought to teach me. My prayer is that you, the reader will glean some
wisdom from my past. Sadly, I have often made the same mistake multiple
times and by no means have arrived at a spiritual level of any of my
heroes, but I have made it to this point in my life by learning lessons
from those who have gone before me.
