No More Excuses – Just Obey
Obedience can be tough! I know in my head what God calls me to is what is truly best, but it still doesn’t always make it easy.A couple of years ago, God called me into youth ministry. You want to talk about feeling unqualified. Yikes! I knew there was no way humanly...
Mercy Triumphs Over Justice
The crown of thorns doesn’t fit him. It just doesn’t belong. How could they not see? He was and is the one TRUE king.Beaten, bruised and bloody. That was Jesus on that hill at Golgotha. He had been mocked, insulted, and falsely accused.The human flesh he was in had to...
The Worry Pit
In a recent post we talked about how sports are great for helping us learn how to deal with winning as well as losing and doing both with dignity.Wow, God’s timing (or maybe it was His sense of humor) is amazing. It was less than an hour after I finished that piece...

Joy in Visiting
Click clack, click clack. I love the sound of a keyboard humming along with the flow of words. Or the feel of pen on paper scratching out letters that come from my heart.I can get lost in my own little world of words, thoughts and dreams on paper. Sometimes retreating...
Pure Excitement (and a little fear)!
I signed up for the She Speaks Conference in July. (Happy dance!)She Speaks is a combination of spiritual inspiration and practical application for writers, speakers and leaders. There will be so many amazing teacher's there to work with us as well.I have prayed for...
Stand Up!
It’s time to take a stand. As Christians, myself included, we have become way too complacent. Living out our comfortable lives with our fish symbol stickers and our perfectly orchestrated worship hour. Trying hard not to rock the boat. Living an “abundantly” moderate...
