September 2, 2022
“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”Joshua 1:8 We are talking about hope and yo...
trustAugust 30, 2022
It’s been a busy week already and it’s only Tuesday and I had a good conversation spring up from our morning chats. One of which came up this week about trust. It came up in the context of one of you said, “I can count on and trust you sending the morning devotional.” That has sat on me a while a...
patienceAugust 19, 2022
I have been forced to learn a lot about myself this year and one of the things I’ve learned is I need to get better with patience. Not only with life but mostly with people! I always thought I was a relatively patient person until I started trying to really learn what it meant to be patient...evi...
faithAugust 11, 2022
So, we’ve been pounding out gratitude the last two weeks and while it’s always a great topic and one we need to continue to be intentional about, I want to shift gears a little bit. Since I’m now into the book of Mark, I want to talk about something else, like faith.I’ve been watching some news l...
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...

When we talk about our struggles and how we are just trying to get through “it” aren’t we really just talking about how we are to deal with God’s NO? I mean think about most of the disappointments you’ve experienced. Probably the one thing they all had in common is they didn’t fit into your plan...
peaceJuly 21, 2022
Can we have peace in our hearts when our world is turned upside down?Pretty good question that requires an honest look inward. You see the kind of peace the world give us is pretty sketch at best. It can change on a whim with no notice at all. Happen to me three weeks ago, may have happened to yo...
sufferingJuly 12, 2022
I swear these devotionals are not intended to be about me, but I would be lying if I didn’t say all of this has given me plenty time to think and reflect on what God has planned for our lives. Just yesterday, I was beginning to start to feel like everything was crashing down on me and I was getti...
shepherdJuly 8, 2022
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 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. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with...
surrenderJune 10, 2022
I want to wrap up this week by simply saying, “Quit driving, let God have the wheel!”Look, I’ve talked about this many times before, but God continues to show me time and time again that He is in control, not me. No matter how many times I pray for something to happen or I try and drive a situati...

“But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.”Jeremiah 29:7 God didn’t put you where you are by mistake. He doesn’t make mistakes. When we believe in our hearts God is good and that His though...
stillnessMay 26, 2022
“Be still and know”. This is from the Psalm of King David. Psalm 46:10-11“"Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah”Psalms 46:10-11 I like this verse but what is it...
gods-protectionMay 18, 2022
So in Romans 8, we are told, “if God is for us, who can be against us?” What an incredibly comforting promise from the living God, especially in the troubled times in which we are living. But God requires from us two things in return: they are faithfulness and obedience. You see, He is a jealous...
peaceMay 10, 2022
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."”John 16:33 Do you ever feel like life is one problem after another?You make it through one issue, but before you can recover another one shoots up....
sufferingMay 6, 2022
This has been an extremely difficult week for me. I’ve felt some of the lowest lows due to pain from treatment and the highest high from the relief. Yet for some reason, it’s given me pause to think about things I’m fighting to hang on to and things I need to let go. What are you trying to hang o...
trustApril 11, 2022
We’ve spent last week primarily talking about letting go and trusting God with his plan for us. So, I thought I would send us into the weekend with Joshua 1:9“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherev...
prayerApril 8, 2022
“Good Lord willing …”How many times have we heard this saying as response to questions about our plans we have for our lives? I’ve heard it a lot! I’ve said it! I suppose it’s meant to express our beliefs that we believe and trust that if ______ is God’s will then it will be. But are we praying f...
waiting-on-godApril 7, 2022
How are we doing waiting on God’s Plan for us? I ask because I’ve been a bit “all over the place” lately waiting to start treatments again…“Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!”Psalms 27:14 You know, when we go for the instant gratification, we give up...
forgivenessApril 4, 2022
Let’s pull that bandaid off this morning on one of my favorite topics and get the week started off right!“Do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you” Luke 6:27-28 Wow, this is a tough one...We are called to forgive those that hurt us, unconditionally...
faithMarch 11, 2022
So, we’ve been pounding out gratitude the last two weeks and while it’s always a great topic and one we need to continue to be intentional about, I want to shift gears a little bit. Why? Well, because I want to talk about something else, like faith! I’ve been watching a lot of news lately and it...
sufferingMarch 9, 2022
So, last night at dinner I was talking about my process and how I write our devotionals. I was sharing how I love to go back on occasions and see what was on my heart on this date in time. Well, It’s funny how God will tap you on the shoulder to remind you sometimes that “this ain’t new” and He’s...
peaceFebruary 21, 2022
Can we have peace in our hearts when our world is turned upside down?Pretty good question that requires an honest look inward. You see the kind of peace the world give us is pretty sketch at best. It can change on a whim with no notice at all. Happened to me last summer with the cancer diagnosis,...
redemptionFebruary 14, 2022
I spent some time last week talking to a friend about doing some personal inventory, asking for redemption and then moving on. We must press on, we must leave the past in the past and press on in our daily lives not for our glory but His. Man, we need to let go of the past, the pain, the heartbre...
humilityFebruary 7, 2022
“So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility coun...
