Listen, I’ve been rambling on for the past week about our bad habits and how God can remove them from us and restore us. So check this out;“Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I...
addiction-recoveryJanuary 22, 2024
Look, I get it, we all need to feel a reconnection with God and with people after we have done something wrong or been through a difficult circumstance. But if we don’t find that bond, we will try and comfort ourselves with something else, anything else, to numb the pain. Our addictions are norma...

“He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”1 Peter 2:24-25 Have you ever gotten lost? It can be one o...
depressionDecember 11, 2023
So, as we are in the meat of the Christmas season, we see a lot of people suffered from the silent killer, depression. I’ve had close friends fight depression and I’ve felt with it myself at times. Depression is real and when people suffer from it, it’s to be taken seriously...it needs to be talk...

positive-thinkingAugust 10, 2023
So I have noticed a big shift in my thinking over the last couple years since my diagnosis and beginning treatment. The biggest and most welcoming being I refuse to spend much time in the negative. I’ve been intentional about spending time doing what I love and with those I love. Making time for...

Yesterday was “treatment Tuesday” and I was sitting in the waiting room between getting my port accessed and seeing my oncologist prior to my infusion. Anyhow, this young nurse came and got me to show me to my room. When she approached me, I recognized her, smiled and cheerfully asked, “Hey! How...
griefMay 10, 2023
As we get closer to the weekend, Saturday May 13th, I can’t help but to think about my dad. You see that is his birthday. It’s hard to believe it’s been four years since he passed. I know I’m not as “walking sad” as I was four years ago and the waves of sadness have certainly calmed, but I miss h...
hopeMay 4, 2023
Read this and for a second, think about what is going on here:“And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, "He is dead." But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.”Mark 9:26-27 You see, Jesus’ love a...
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...
righteous-livingJanuary 23, 2023
Hope you had a great weekend! Let’s stay with the Psalm of David, shall we?“He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.”Psalm 23:3 I’ve said it and thought about forever. What makes us do the right thing? Who leads up to that decision? Well, God does. You can l...

Guess what? He restores you! “He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.”Psalm 23:2-3 Look, right now you might be underwater financially, in danger of losing your job, struggling with po...
sufferingJanuary 2, 2023
Happy New Year! I’m still tired from that Saturday of football games! “And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”1 Peter 5:10 I love this verse from Peter. You...
faith-over-feelingsDecember 22, 2022
You know, things aren’t always as they seem and mostly it’s our feelings that mask the truth. I will be the first to admit it, I get mine hurt a lot because I let my feelings run crazy inside my head. It takes a conscious effort to reel them in and understand why they are there and what the truth...
gratitudeNovember 22, 2022
Listen, you ever held the door for someone these days and they don’t say thank you or even acknowledge the act of kindness? I have and I see it happening more and more in all areas of our lives. Sadly, when people are treated with courtesy, sometimes there is no acknowledgement or appreciation. W...
thanksgivingNovember 21, 2022
With this being the start of Thanksgiving week, I thought I would try something different and talk about the act of giving thanks to the Lord this week. Simply focusing on being thankful for all we have and for all the Lord has done for us. Tomorrow is “treatment Tuesday” and this time it will be...
healingNovember 7, 2022
Ok, here’s the deal. We can only break our dependency on defining ourselves by our circumstances if we wrestle with Jesus’ question: Do you want to get well?If we genuinely desire wellness in all areas of our lives: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, we must let go of the labels we have allo...
repentanceOctober 21, 2022
I got to thinking about how life seems to ebb and flow with good times and bad. More specifically, I got to thinking about how we can get stuck in the bad. I’m talking about that “stop the world I just want to get off this ride” feeling. We’ve all had it, but what do we do to get off “that ride”?...

“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 love is forever. As believers, we are called to cel...
forgivenessJuly 29, 2022
“Forgiven people should be forgiving people”! Yes!You see, God gave us forgiveness and redemption through His son Jesus, why would we not deliver the same thing to those who hurt us? What makes His forgiveness unconditional and our’s subjective? It doesn’t and it shouldn’t. I’m not saying that it...

“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of...
