Taking Out the Trash: Controlling Our Words and Anger
I’ve got to be honest with you, lately I’m finding myself doing a little trash talk, both to myself and openly, about others who have frustrated me to no end. I’m not proud of it and I’m sure it’s just frustration coming out, but it’s not cool. “Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be...
- Heaven
Overflowing Cup - Forever in the Lord's House
Most of what we read in The Psalm if David is about the journey and how God (our Shepherd) protects us and leads us along the way. We are His sheep after all...Anyhow, for me it’s the promise that I love so much;“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with...
- Fear
Fear No Evil - God's Protection in Dark Valleys
We are get scared. Some of us crave that sense of fear and go looking for it. (Guilty). But I think generally speaking we all get nervous and fear normal things too. I’m referring to physical breakdowns like illness (Corona Virus comes to mind), injury, and death, but far worse is the danger of e...

Walking in Righteousness - God Leads the Way
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.

The Lord is My Shepherd - Let Go of Your Burdens
So I’ve decided to reread one of my favorite books I read a coupe years ago. It was a gift from my late Dad and if you haven’t read it, I encourage it. The book is by Max Lucado, Traveling Light. It’s a book about the Psalm of David, Psalm 23. I decided to get back into the 23rd Psalm and share s...

- Hardship
Strength in Weakness Through God's Grace
Let keep digging into 2 Corinthians;“For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us...
- Anxiety
Casting Anxieties on the One Who Cares
Sure is a whole lot of anxiety going on in the world today...unreal! I’m not suggesting I don’t sense a small bit of it, but nothing like what I’m seeing going on around me. “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your a...
- Worry
Why Worry When God's Got You?
Worry has a weird way of consuming every aspect of our lives. There will always be something to worry about, whether it’s questioning how you will pay your bills on time or losing sleep over when the country gets back to work. But one thing is true about being anxious, it will simply not do us an...

Cast Your Burden on the Lord
So, over the last week or so I started to allow myself to slide into a funk. For whatever reason, maybe the barrage of bad news in the world, restricted activities, limited social and personal contact, I was slipping into a bit of a depressive state. Then it occurred to me Sunday night as I was m...

So, to the few of you that let me know that I somehow was redoing March, I appreciate you!

Remember Who God Is When Circumstances Overwhelm
“remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,'”Isaiah 46:9-10I don’t know about y...
- Past
Let God Transform Your Past Into Testimony
“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."”Revelation 21:4 I’m going to keep this simple today because the point I want is simple. When you are in Christ, your p...
- Hope
Choose Joy Over Yesterday's Pain
I generally would describe myself as a positive person with a hopeful outlook on things. Maybe you do to?But do you feel like you spend a lot of time dwelling on the negatives? Oftentimes, we let our circumstances overwhelm us. We focus on the moment and forget that there is something bigger and...

- Happiness
Choosing Happiness in Any Situation
So, I’m watching a movie during the quarantine (I can’t recall the name) but at the end of the movie there was a line spoken and it said something that has been hanging on me.“When I stopped letting my situation define my happiness, I began to find happiness in my situation.”You see, if you don’t...

Casting Your Anxieties on Him
“casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”1 Peter 5:7 Pretty anxious times we are having and a lot of things pressing down on all of us. Anxiety is a strange thing though. It seems to creep up on me when I am least expecting it and unwelcomely can take up space in my mind. It...

Where to Place Your Hope
So the other day I was pretty frustrated and disappointed something going on in my life. Mostly disappointed by some people I put my Hope into.

Breaking Isolation Through Community and Connection
In times of need like we are all going though, yes we need to be practicing our social distancing, but are you going at it alone or are you surrounding ourselves with loved ones?

Growing in Humility: The Hard Way or the Harder Way
I think at some level we all struggle with pride and have a hard time with humility. I know I do, at certain times more than others. How do you grow in humility? I know of two ways. One of them is hard and the other one sucks. The first and hard one, is to value humility so much that you develop...
