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. Facts are distorted and everything seems to need to be verified before you know whether you should believe it. Since you can’t check every camera angle […]
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 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 […]
A few years ago, I was asking God what my direction in life should be. You’ve probably done that too. After all, we like to think we came to earth with a purpose and that when we check out, we’ll have something to say for the time we’ve spent here. At least, I like to […]
Galatians 6:4 says, “Each person should test their own work and be happy with doing a good job and not compare themselves with others.” Now that is great advice, but most of us are willing to ignore it. After all, we’ve been competing with others since we started kindergarten. Even in the sandbox set, someone […]
In my prayer time, I often ask God to change me, to give me a bigger heart, and a greater understanding of what He wants me to be. I wrote this poem as a little reminder to myself. Perhaps parts of it will resonate with you too. Give me a heart To kindly see The […]
