Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog. Here’s a little information about what I’m going for…
I love learning. For many years I have practiced lifelong learning and have benefited greatly from doing so. There’s so much wisdom out there and it would be a shame not to pursue as much of it as possible, learn from it, and pass it along to others. That, in a nutshell, is what this blog is about.
I occasionally have something worth sharing myself, but more often than not, I have plenty to pass along that I have learned from others… whether I put the particular lesson learned in my own words or give it to you verbatim.
The Book of Proverbs tells us to pursue wisdom as though we were searching for a great treasure… for it is worth even more than that and will bless our lives beyond measure. That’s what I’m looking for… wisdom. And that’s what I hope to pass along to you… wisdom in the form of life lessons. It’s a, “Here’s what I learned today,” sort of thing.
My hope and prayer is that these “life lessons” of wisdom that I’m sharing will bless you by adding value to your life, draw you closer to the Lord Jesus Christ, and that his likeness will be reflected in your daily life.
I am married, have four children and serve as a pastor in the United Methodist Church.
Grace and Truth,
Dale

Linda – I’ve had it so long that I don’t remember where I first got it.
Sorry about that.
Dale – came across your blog through a “fatherhood” search on WordPress. I’m enjoying some of your recent posts! I write a blog on fatherhood called Teacher Daddy. Check it out when you have a moment. I’d appreciate your feedback! It’s at http://teacherdaddy.wordpress.com.
Cheers!
Andrew, I sure will. I just started a new blog called Pursuing Godly Manhood, which is exclusively on topics related to manhood – marrige, fatherhood, etc. Here’s the link… http://godlymanhood.wordpress.com/
I look forward to checking out your blog.
Blessings,
Dale
Dear Dale,
) ?
After reading Tozer’s ‘The pursuit of God’ I felt a lot of recognition recently: I am a member of the fellowship of the burning heart and I want to share this fire! Now I can describe my passion for the Lord, and that rocks!…will it be the right time for a global burning heart movement
When surfing on the internet I encountered your blog: WOW! You are my brother fellowshipper of the burning heart! That’s great. My compliments for the content. Great stuff you have collected and written. I also use wordpress (winnileaks@wordpress.com) and I have the same theme (twenty ten) as you have. I sure will visit your blog many more times in future to pick up some new ideas and links.
Now I have some practical questions about your site. Yours is much more sophisticated and extended then mine. I have a basic (free) account. Do you pay for extra possibilities to improve the looks? Please let me know.
….forgot to say goodby to you…
May the Lord bless your mind, body and soul for the ministry you are facing.
Your brother with a burning heart too,
Winfred Vels (The Netherlands)
Winfred,
You are very kind. Thank you for your words. Tozer is a favorite of mine.
I use a regular wordpress blog (the free one). I’ve just used as many of the free widgets as I can (or, at least as many as I know how to use).
May the Lord bless your ministry and keep your heart on fire for Christ.
Your brother in Christ,
Dale
I really enjoy the blog! What translations of the Bible do you enjoy using? recommend?
I use the NIV on the blog, but for my Bible studies I teach and when I’m preparing for sermons, etc., I use the ESV. But really, I use a variety of translations… but those are my main “go to” translations. Thanks for stopping by Clay.
Blessings,
Dale
