The Grateful Leper: When Only One Says Thank You
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.

When Others Get What You're Praying For
You ever been praying for something in your life only to see the very thing you’ve been praying for land on someone else? I know I have, and I suspect you have too. But here is the good new when that happens. God is still answering prayers! He just hasn’t answered yours yet. It also doesn’t mean...

To Be Forgiven, You Must Forgive
So hear’s a thought? So I’ve been talking all week about forgiving and how we can and should. But do you want others to forgive you? Even more importantly, do you want God to forgive you?

Finding God in the Things We Take for Granted
I want to keep talking about gratitude, where our mind is and what we are actually thankful for. We’ve talked last week about being intentional about looking for God in all things.

Good Lord Willing: Trusting God's Will in Prayer
