October 11, 2023
Hey, you ever get that feeling like there is something more? That you are chasing something in life that won’t fully satisfy you? I have. Pay close attention to that feeling though, it’s from God. We see people everyday who seem to be “put together”. People that have a lot of seat time in church...
gods-loveOctober 9, 2023
Almost everyday I like to look back at what I wrote and what we were talking about in the past years. It’s hard to believe I’ve been at this now since 2018. I am still humbled by the fact that you’re still here. Amazing really...so thank you. Anyhow, this is a throwback to two years ago. I rememb...
gratitudeOctober 1, 2023
Welcome to October where it’s still 94 degrees! “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.”Psalms 136:1 Today will be short and sweet because God Love is simple and pure and easy to talk about. We have so much to celebrate and be grateful for because His lov...
attitudeSeptember 22, 2023
Continuing with attitude, we need to look at what influences our attitudes. Most often than not, it’s the people around us that tend to shape our attitudes. To change our attitude, we may need to change who we are letting influence us. The words of the people closest to us permeate our heart, whi...
fellowshipSeptember 13, 2023
We’ve talked about having Faith for the past couple of days now and I’d like to be wrapping up how we exercise that Faith in overcoming our troubles and fears through fellowship with others. When was the last time you shared your fears and struggles with a close friends? You see, we were designed...
faithSeptember 12, 2023
So, I made the comment yesterday that, “Believing is not Faith”. I’m confident of this and I believe that, while related, they are drastically different. Faith is not believing in God’s goodness only when we are out of the storm; faith is believing in God’s goodness right in the middle of it. The...
communicationSeptember 5, 2023
So, my readings of late are taking me down the road of conversations we have with others, how not to be in a comparison game with others and generally how to “be Nice” and not be offensive. I’m told at times I can be “to honest” and not sensitive to others although I never intend to offend anyone...
forgivenessSeptember 1, 2023
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Remember that growing up?How awesome would it be if that statement were true? Oftentimes it is far easier to heal a broken bone than it is to heal the wound caused by something someone said that deeply offended us. One of the top...
integrityAugust 31, 2023
So, not long ago I was writing about integrity and what it means, how we get it, etc.Well, as I’m studying and thinking about the topic of integrity again, my sweet puppy Emma is laying on my leg. She goes everywhere with me and is just so full of love. I would love to love unconditionally like s...
friendshipAugust 9, 2023
Have you ever had a friend share bad news or their struggles with you and you don’t know what to say? Me too…“He who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty.”Job 6:14 In the Bible we are told that during Job’s time of grieving, his three friends came to mourn with him a...
identityAugust 4, 2023
“He entered Jericho and was passing through. And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. And he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamor...
selflessnessJuly 25, 2023
It’s hard to be happy when you’re selfish. It’s way easier to be happy helping others...don’t believe me, try it...As strange as it sounds, one of the best things you can do for you is to quit doing so much for you. Maybe you’ve experienced this before when you volunteered somewhere or worked on...
happinessJuly 24, 2023
I got to thinking about happiness and how it has evolved for me over the years after a heartfelt conversation with a friend who is overcoming a problem with drinking and finding a life he never knew...a life of real happiness. Does any of this sound familiar? If only I had…if only I drove…if only...
forgivenessJuly 7, 2023
The longer I live, the more I get surprised by people. By surprised, I mean hurt. What really sucks is no matter how righteous we think we are, at least for me, I will forgive them but some times hang onto a feeling of, “I forgive you, but you don’t deserve it!” Ever had that thought? You probabl...
loveJuly 5, 2023
So I’m reading first Corinthians last night and find myself reading this verse we all know. “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with...
compassionJune 30, 2023
You ever just lose it for a moment when you’ve “had enough”? I do sometimes and the worst part is, we usually take it out on the ones we love the most. Thankfully, I am quick to realize when I’ve lost it and I’ve learn to ask for forgiveness. I’m not sure what causes us to lose our compassion oth...
serviceJune 21, 2023
336/21/23So, I’m sitting in my infusion chair yesterday watching the amazing people who work in Oncology serving others. They exhibit so much compassion, empathy and genuine care for others, it’s clear to see why they were called to serve others. These care nurses ask for no recognition, no troph...
shameful-thoughtsJune 12, 2023
Ok, I really want to talk about something that has been eating at me for some time...some of my thoughts. You know, the ones you’re ashamed of or the ones you would never say out loud...or sometimes out of frustration you do. I mean, no kidding, sometimes I am completely ashamed at some of the cr...
timeJune 2, 2023
I wanted to share some of what I’ve been reading with regards to our “time”. I touched on it earlier this week, but let’s dig a little deeper. When you take a view of your life compared to eternity, it causes you to become sober-minded. Thomas Edison said, "Time is really the only capital that an...
loveMay 22, 2023
Hope er’body had a great weekend! As I turn on the news, it seems the world stayed crazy...oh, well.Listen, it’s no secret that our world seems more divided than ever. Whether it’s political parties that can’t agree on a nation’s budget or special interest groups that spew hatred toward each othe...
loveMay 18, 2023
There are 8 billion people in this world and not one of them are exactly like you. So what does that mean? That means there is a really good chance you’re going to have to deal with people who don’t see things the way you do. That don’t have the same political beliefs, family background or econom...
serviceMay 8, 2023
We have a lot of work to do yet. We need to always be sharing the name who has delivered us, Jesus. Just the other day, I came across a young girl that I could tell needed to smile. I had a kind word for her, she smiled and what a wonderful smile she had. That was Jesus at work, I’m sure of it. N...
humilityMay 5, 2023
“So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility coun...
faithMay 1, 2023
As I sit here watching the sun come up this morning, I can help but marvel at the beauty God has made. How do I know he made it? Well, I have faith that he did. It’s the same faith that I have in Him that allows me to grow closer to Him. You see, developing a love for God is a little more challen...
