More or Less

As we leave 2021, I thought I would take the opportunity to do a little inventory about what I want and what I hope for in the year ahead. I won’t call these New Year’s resolutions because those often have a way of falling off my radar by mid-March and I’d like to work with […]

The Wager

It’s been a tough year. Most of us won’t be sad to see 2021 make an exit. It’s been a year of disappointment for many, heartache and heartbreak for most, and uncertainty for all of us. We gambled on the odds of winning against Covid-19 and Delta and new variants. We got vaccines or we […]

The Gift of Forever

Psalm 103:17-18 says, “But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children–with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.” You can probably name on one hand the things that are everlasting, the ones that were here before you and […]

Your Hope-filled Heart

I love this message from Romans 12:11 that says, “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” These two sentences are chock full of things we can do that might just change the way we see life on any given […]

More Possibility Please

I believe in possibility! You do too! I know that because human beings were given a spirit of possibility from the One who designed them. God knew we would run out of steam. He knew we would lose sometimes. He knew we would need a way to come back and so He confirmed this. With […]

Gratitude and Pumpkin Pie

There are two things about our feast-filled holiday called Thanksgiving that always make my heart do a happy dance. One of them is the idea that people everywhere, regardless of life philosophy, religious affiliation, or even political persuasion can come together and agree on one thing. We all have a lot to be grateful for! […]

Yup! I’m Grateful!

When things nose dive all around you and don’t bounce back quickly, you might wonder if anything will ever feel right again. You look out at the world and all you can see is the calamity and chaos. Your friends have suffered setbacks, your kids can’t play sports, your bank account is dwindling. So what […]

Create! Explore! Imagine!

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I’m reminded of the gifts we’ve each been given. Our Creator was generous when He designed that part of us that takes ideas and turns them into beautiful works of art. It all starts with a vivid imagination, a desire to bring something to life, to renew it or […]

Because You Matter

Sometimes we forget how quickly life can change. One minute we’re stuck in a traffic jam going nowhere fast, and the next we’re stuck at home going nowhere at all! Before the pandemic, we used words like “business as usual, busy, busy, busy, and I have to go to work.” Now we have some new […]

United We Stand

Psalm 133:1 says in part, “How good and pleasant it is when brothers [and sisters] dwell in unity.”  The verse goes on to give examples of those who have been selected and anointed by God to do His work. It suggests that joining together brings opportunity for good to prevail. When good prevails, everyone benefits. […]
