Since it’s been so cold and snowy outside, my creative energy is someone sagging. Thought I’d put this piece out there to inspire our spirits. You’ve probably had someone admire your creativity, and then say to you, “I don’t have a creative bone in my body!” Your friend may genuinely feel that way, but […]
Where do I go when I don’t know, just what to do? When I’ve stayed still, seeking Your will, without a clue? Where do I go when life is so, out of control? When nothing’s right, and there’s no light to fill my soul? Where do I go when I’m so […]
Fear is arrogant. It barges into your life and never apologizes for anything. It paints your soul with uncertainty and makes you dread something you can’t even define. It’s deliberate and smug. It imagines you simply can’t get rid of it. Perhaps it helps to face fear head on. Determine its cause. Define it. One […]
The fun part of summer for a lot of people is knowing they can escape the restrictions of the land and get out on the water. They can bask in the sun, do a little fishing, spend time on a beach, or sail away and leave the world behind. It’s pretty glorious when the sun […]
Hebrews 11:1 may be one of the verses we know best, but still struggle to understand. The New International Version says, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for, and assurance about what we do not see.” The Message Bible says, “By faith, we see the world called into existence by God’s word, what […]

Luke 1:10-11 About thirty years after the resurrection of Christ, an ardent Jewish scholar and Pharisee, was threatened […]

Have you ever gone through stressful moments, maybe weeks or months of craziness, and you thought to yourself, “I didn’t sign up for this?” Chances are it’s one of those comments that comes up when you feel like you’ve tried everything to make things better, but nothing helped. Recently, I found myself uttering those words, […]
I was thinking about the often-quoted Hebrews 11:1 verse that describes what faith is. It says, “faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing that something is real even if we do not see it.” It’s a nice verse, but when you think about it, we’re already in over our heads […]
Recently, I was struck by the word “faithful.” I couldn’t help thinking that faithful must mean, “full of faith.” Okay, that made me realize that it’s unlikely I’ve ever been “full” of faith. I’ve had some faith, but I’m probably down a quart or two most of the time, when it comes to “full” faith. […]
