Jesus sighed deeply and said, “Why do you people ask for a miracle as a sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to you.” This scripture from Mark 8:11 paints a picture that is probably familiar to most of us. Circumstances and situations arise in your life that cause you to […]
When all the things you’ve learned to depend on fall apart, it’s difficult to know where to turn. You’ve grown up with things that you never questioned because they were always true. You knew you could visit your family and friends any time you wanted to do so, or that you could find what you […]
You probably recognize the Breton fisherman’s prayer that was once given to JFK on a wooden plaque. It says, “Dear God, be good to me. The sea is so wide, and my boat is so small.” I don’t know about you, but I feel like my boat can barely stay afloat some days. Not only […]
Give thanks in every situation because this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Sometimes I throw my hat in the ring. Sometimes I throw in the towel. Sometimes I just get thrown for a loop, not expecting the crushing blow, the layoff, the end of love? I am not […]
Genesis 19 recounts the story of a guy named Lot and his family as they fled the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. An angel urged them to go quickly and by all means, “Don’t look back!” They ran, but not all of them listened to the angel’s direction. Do you ever wish you were given […]
It’s odd to realize we no longer live in a world where we can easily recognize what’s real and what isn’t. Half-truths abound. Fake news is accepted as fact.

Sometimes when I think back on people I’ve met, or relationships I’ve had or lost, I wonder if things would have played out differently, if I had prayed. I don’t mean a quick popcorn prayer, but a heartfelt intentional prayer. These days, prayer is one of my first thoughts, but that hasn’t always been the […]
I suspect we’ve all questioned whether or not God would show up right when we need Him most, or we may even question if He is too busy to hear our prayers at all. The fact is that sometimes, you need an immediate answer to a prayer, like the one I got a number of […]
I always thought the “wonder years” were assigned to four year-olds who simply have to know “why” everything they see exists as it does. “Why does the frog jump, daddy?” “Why is your hair curly, mommy?” Back then, everything seemed like it must have a practical explanation. As a parent, you probably tried to come […]
Some things cause an immediate reaction. A balloon bursts, a car backfires, you smell smoke, and your nerves instantly respond. Your sensitivity to the environment can be good when it causes you to be more aware of what’s happening around you. Sometimes though, you react to people, family members, or co-workers who just seem to […]
