I am a singer who tends to hit random pitches. I Love my wife Rachel and my five children. Sierra (11), Aleya (8) Jayden (7) Jackson (7) Kaiden 3. Four of our five children are adopted so I am very interested in adoptions and the stories that go with them. I am a dairy farmer which I enjoy most of the time. Most importantly I love the Lord.

Fear
Our SS school lesson was on fear. The question Is fear a sin? was asked. What is your opinion?
Fear isn't a sin, but unbelief is. Sometimes when I way I am afraid, I am really revealing my unbelief. The children of Israel were ready to enter the promised land. God promised to give it to them. They said they were afraid, but really the problem was they didn't believe God would fight for them. When I am not able to act and I give fear as the reason, it is a reminder to check for God's promises in the matter and see if the real problem is unbelief. Of course, fear can also be good. Fear can keep me from doing some pretty harmful and painful things.
