The fear of the Lord -The key to wisdom, joy, knowledge, divine protection and so much more

I was so excited – finally getting on a plane after two years – as we drove towards the airport, I spotted a church sign that read “Comparison is the thief of joy.” These words hit me – “how true “and I laughed out loud – because at that moment I was debating whether my black hoody tracksuit would be suitable on the plane, and I wondered what others would be wearing. I felt sure I hadn’t read these words in the Bible – so I googled it – and to my surprise found that it was one of President Theodore Roosevelt’s sayings.

Who in their right mind would call an organisation Prayer, Praise and Pecan (PPP)? But the name is a conversation starter. Even during the registration period of our outdoor church, the NSW government rang to check that the ‘pecan’ bit was not a spelling mistake. The conversation then led to why – why the pecan?
