October 12, 2023
One of the things I think about a lot is the grace that God has shown me. Like in the song, “I was blind but now I see..”. But no matter how grateful I am, I still have the moments when I think back on my life to times that make me cringe. I look back and realize no matter how hard I tried, I mad...
spiritual-longingOctober 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...
fearSeptember 20, 2023
23So, I’m talking to one of my flying buddies on the phone yesterday and we were discussing our faith and how we rely on it when we are faced with fear. After we talked I pondered on our chat for a while and one of the things I kept coming back to is what and why I feared some of the things I’ve...
regretSeptember 7, 2023
You know, sometimes I think back on my life and cringe at some of the mistakes I’ve made. I written about this before but regrets, we all have them. It may be something you wish you hadn’t done, or a missed opportunity where you didn’t take action and wish that you had. It might be something that...
social-mediaSeptember 6, 2023
I’m sure I’m not the only one who plays on social media in this group. It’s ok, I’m sure we’re not alone either. But there’s a catch; why are we playing on social media? Is it to see what our friends and families are up to? Maybe, sure. Is it to let the world know how put together we are? Ha, pos...
identityAugust 22, 2023
You ever wonder if you’re being who God wants you to be or who others think you should be?“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”Galatians 1:10 Maybe you are worried about what o...
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...
money-managementJuly 26, 2023
23Let’s talk about money and happiness for a minute. It seems these days our society is trying to convince us that having more will bring us happiness. “No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. Yo...
gods-graceJuly 21, 2023
In 2 Corinthians 12:9 God says, “my grace is sufficient for you”. I feel like this is a message for us to the answers we seek. What I mean is we pray for God to remove certain things from our lives and sometimes it feels like He’s not answering. But what if He has already answered us with a hidde...
identityJune 23, 2023
A friend of mine when asked, “what do you do?” would always respond, “about what?” It was always good for a laugh. I guess it was his way at making light of a rather silly question if you think about it. I mean what we “do” isn’t really who we are, or is it?When meeting someone for the first time...
trustJune 20, 2023
Look, most of us have large expectations for our life and what it’s going to looks like. What it looks like for each of us varies as much as the differences in each of us. That’s ok. Whatever our ambitions, most of us have at least some idea of what our futures might hold.All well and good. But t...
gods-willJune 9, 2023
I was thinking yesterday about what I’ve written in the past about God’s “no” and how we respond. The thing is the more I thought about it the more I realized not only is God saying no to us and our plan, he is in fact saving us from ourselves! Think about it, what would your life be like if ever...
gods-planMay 30, 2023
I don’t know about you, but when I think back on the road God has sent me down in my life, it’s a miracle I ended up here. I mean, I’m probably not alone in that the path we’ve all taken has been full of detours and side roads along the way. But as I reflected over the long weekend while I flew a...
purposeMay 26, 2023
We always run into detours or audibles in the road map or play book of our lives. We all do. Especially in our relationship with Christ. But why? Why can’t we just be saved and just cruise through life knowing we’re headed for eternity with our maker with no issues here? Well, let’s talk about it...
identityMay 24, 2023
Most of you know me pretty well and know I am a sucker for some good social media. I really do enjoy it (when it’s not politics and hate). I stick with 4 topics-dogs, dirt bikes, airplanes and family. But its got me thinking about who we are and what what we are doing with it.You see, with the ad...
sufferingMay 23, 2023
You ever notice that when we finally get out of whatever it is we are suffering from it never seems to be the way we thought we would get out of it? Like during our suffering we could never understand or see the way out that God has for us. It’s because it’s His plan for us not our plan for us. H...
disappointmentApril 10, 2023
If you’ve ever competed in anything or spent much time trying to accomplish anything, then I’m sure you’re familiar with disappointment. I say this jokingly, because clearly we’ve all had disappointments in our lives. However, the disappointments we face can either keep us where we are or catapul...
wanderingApril 3, 2023
Ever noticed that those that seem to wander never seem to be settled? I guess what I am saying is that there are people we come across in our lives, could even be us, that never truly find peace and serenity in their lives because they keep looking for it. They keep trying to plot their own cours...
disappointmentMarch 20, 2023
Have you ever been disappointed? Of course you have. Ever been disappointed in yourself? Uh…yeah. No question we all have and it can come from many different things. We can be disappointed in other people, events or even disappointed in ourselves when things don’t go the way we expected or we act...
gods-planMarch 16, 2023
God’s Plan for our life is unfolding before us but often times it’s not visible to us. Most of the time I would say it’s happening so slowly that I’m not sure if it’s happening. But then, when I least expect it and through no effort of my own, God reveals pieces of his plan to me. The things that...
witnessingMarch 14, 2023
So, will we always see the result of the work we’ve done by witnessing to others and being there when they need us the most? Most certainly not. But that shouldn’t discourage us from being there and sharing the Gospel. You see, we never really know how God is using us, we just need to have faith...
callingMarch 9, 2023
883/9/23I was reading last night and had an idea that I thought was worth sharing. The thought is that it appears we sometimes treat Christianity as a cause. Like some kind philanthropic club we are a part of that we can’t wait to post on Facebook the latest good deed we did for something or some...
opportunityFebruary 27, 2023
I’ve been thinking over the weekend about some of my habits, but good and bad, and how I’ve been using the talents God has blessed me with. More specifically, am I taking about the opportunities He’s put before me and if I’m using them? Well, I hope so and I hope you are too. But understand, oppo...
god-as-fatherFebruary 20, 2023
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend (I can almost feel spring!) and is ready to get back to work with our daily walk with Christ. Today is Presidents Day, and while I admit, outside of acknowledging the existence of past leaders of our county, it means nothing to me. But it does give me pause...
