It was quite the gloomy morning as I sat at my desk to begin the workday. I scoured over emails grumbling to myself in disapproval over every aspect of the morning and about how much I was already behind. I quickly dove into a woe is me mentality despite the overflow of blessings in my…
We just spent a vacation at Myrtle Beach and I tried to spend some time writing ideas for messages, blogs and such, waiting for God to point me in whatever direction He had in mind, and when He did I admit I was a bit confused, but here goes. Pancakes. Yep, pancakes. The highway here…
Here we are closing in on the end of February, aka the longest and shortest month of the year. I’m not sure why it always feels so daunting. Maybe it’s the moment we have to be honest with ourselves about our new year goals and resolutions. What? Oh, yeah… you know what I’m talking about.…
So a few weeks ago, Pastor Nick was preaching and the following verse was on the big screen: I John 4:18 "There is no fear in love. But perfect loves drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." I have read that verse many times…

Programming…it’s part of our lives wherever we turn from day one. If we truly confront our real selves, getting down to the “nitty-gritty” shall we say…what would we find? To our chagrin, we might find that we have been sheeple, following whatever ideology is popular when we are passing through time. We do not believe…
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them." John F. Kennedy Today I would like to have a discussion on two seemingly inoffensive words. Truth is, I would love nothing more than to be around a table sipping hot tea…
I really try hard not to do things mindlessly. If at all possible, I am considering the real purpose behind everything I do. Even though I can be guilty of it, I don't want to just run through the motions of things never knowing the purpose behind it. You won't find me ever wearing something,…
