I work with the public. Most days I interact with anywhere from 100 to 200 people, hateful people, slightly less than intelligent people, whiney people, cussing people, unreasonable people. After a single day of dealing with such folks as these, my patience is all but depleted, and I start to develop a very low opinion [...]

John 8:31 & 32 “If you abide in my word you are truly my disciples,and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Getting sunburnt……who doesn’t love having that horrible stinging feeling, looking like you have some type of skin disease and cringing when someone wants to give you a pat [...]
Attitude changes are difficult to make, particularly those that have been ingrained for a very long time. They say it takes 21 days to either make or break a habit. In my experience, it depends on how deeply those threads run in one’s life. Some things can be changed in a matter of minutes while [...]
Friday 10:30 am: My boss calls me on my day off and accuses me of something that I didn’t do. Saturday 12:30 pm: The mechanic tells me that my jeep is losing so much coolant that it isn’t safe to drive back home and it will take until Wednesday to repair it leaving me with [...]
Images of Will Farrell and Chris Kattan bobbing their head to this song flood my mind. This always makes me laugh. I found out this was a one-hit-wonder for the singer/song writer of this popular 80’s song. I guess he never figured it out. So, what IS love? Many seek to find it in vacant [...]
Over the past several months, the Lord has continued to speak to me about identity. I feel like it is a constantly growing problem in the church today. We, as Christians, are so caught up in what others think about us and our identity through the world view that we forget that our identity [...]
Where do we go when our soul feels as ugly as hell itself, and we wonder if we even dare to believe God’s statements and promises about how He sees us and love us? If we are honest with ourselves, even “seasoned” Christians struggle with this at times. God showed me scripture that blew me [...]

I have spent the past couple of years really struggling with one simple concept. How hard is it to find a significant other who truly loves me for me? When we reach a certain point in our lives, we really start craving that true love and longing from a significant other. Some people are blessed [...]
Thank you Father for your anointed children, their gifting rings as anthems along the streets in your kingdom. Because of this I entertain glimpses of purity and my home. Envelope me. Speak to me. What can I do? What can I say? Not able to move but here I am soaring. Your presence, everything you [...]
Never Ends

Nobody told us about the potential for heartache when we “decided” to become parents, did they? I mean, when our babies were little, or even still expected, we talked about how much joy they would bring us. I guess it would be morbid to get real about the possibility that we might outlive any of [...]
