Fully In The Here and Now
I appreciate 2 Corinthians 1 as Paul describes how he was “forced” into trusting fully in God, rather than in himself and his own wits - and how this was the best thing that could have happened to him. We know this of course, that trusting totally in God is the best way to live …
Rest Assured
Gratefulness isn’t always easy. It can sometimes be especially difficult when all the blessings in our life seem to get blockaded and blinded by all our burdens. No doubt working around this takes proactiveness, determination, and practice. Even then, we may not feel any better in the moment, but perhaps we can at least face …
Eye On The Storm?
When the disciples were in the storm they were afraid, but when they woke Jesus and He quieted the storm, the Bible says they were even more terrified - asking themselves, “Who Is This Man”? (Mark 4:41) I think this is a helpful reminder on how we view the “storms” in our life and life …
Change Of Direction
I appreciate the eulogy Ted Kennedy gave at his brother’s funeral. Speaking of Robert, he said so eloquently, "My brother need not be idealized or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life, to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and …

Is The Worst About You The Truth About You?
There is so much hardship and hurt in the world. No doubt. As a result, our perspective of the world and how we view people and even ourselves is greatly impacted. For example, do we believe the best about someone is the truth about them, or rather, do we believe the worst about someone is …

Wildly Wonderful
Psalm 104 praises the wildly wonderful world God has created and the enjoyment He receives from His creation. God enjoys us. He loves us. After all, He created us. And the Psalmist wisely reminds us to remember all the wonders He has made. To keep our eyes open for Him, watching for His works, and …
Along The Way…
We go along our way, and life happens. We face bullies, brokenness, burdens, as well as blessings, bounty, and beauty. Many things can result from all this. We can grow bitter, hardened, selfish, and angry, as well as compassionate, caring, softened, and kind. Some go one way, some the other, but most of us probably …
