Walk Of Life
The band, Dire Straits, sang about doing the “Walk Of Life”. A story about a man pursing what he loves. Something that brings both life and light to his heart and soul. How many of us desire to do such a walk of life? Do we go about our days heavy laden - or perhaps …

At the end of the movie Finding Nemo, we witness a once over-worried, over anxious, and over fearful father encourage his son, who has one fin smaller than the other, to go have an adventure. We then see Nemo ride out into the great abyss of the ocean, upon leaving the loving embrace of his …

Light Hearted
I’m encouraged when Jesus reminds us to walk in the light - to trust in the light and we will become children of the light. He also shares crucial advice when He tells us to cast all our troubles on Him so that we can live “care free” - for He is most careful with …
Brevity of Life
In Psalm 90, we are reminded to the brevity of life, and knowing that even our best days our filled with troubles. Yet, we can rejoice in God’s unfailing love.

Swimming with Sharks
To some, sharks have bad reputations. We fear them and really don’t understand them, other than seeing them as aggressive man hunters. Granted, some are more aggressive than others, but for any surfer, or scuba diver, there is an understanding that the ocean is their home and we are merely visitors. Sometimes mistaken as potential …
