Watching the Supreme Court confirmation hearings last summer got me to thinking about all the crazy, stupid things that I did while I was in high school and college. Whether we believe Kavanaugh did or didn't do the things of which he was accused, do we really want to judge people on what they did … Continue reading The Accuser

Think on These Things
“Finally brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report. If there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things.” Philippians 4:8 From reading this verse, I'd say that God is into … Continue reading Think on These Things

There’s nothing like family time at the beach for unwinding and connecting with your children, grandchildren, siblings, or the entire extended family.

When Mother is Lost
There are some instances in our life where the memories are so vivid that we can even remember what we were wearing. This is the case back in December 1968.

We don't know how many other people lived to be 900 during this time, but its very possible that these mentioned in the Bible stories were not the only ones who … Continue reading 900 Years and Counting

Interestingly, Paul warned us, in Phillipians, however, about enemies of the cross. “For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even … Continue reading Enemies of the Cross
Why Pray Anyway?
Why does God asks us to pray? After all He is all powerful and can do as He pleases. Why doesn’t He just do what He wants in order to accomplish what He wishes in the earth? He certainly doesn’t need our permission. God knows our heart. He could always just do for us … Continue reading Why Pray Anyway?
Grateful Opportunities
It's the time of the year that we tend to focus more on gratitude. Gratitude is a fantastic virtue and people who are grateful tend to lead happier, more productive lives. We have so much to be thankful for, especially in America, where we have an abundance of variable resources. As my pastor says, most … Continue reading Grateful Opportunities
Can I Get a Do Over?
I hate regrets. I've made some bad decisions in my life as well as some really good ones, too. The good ones, I'm happy with and wouldn't change a thing. These were decisions that were right, God inspired, and things turned out well. Other decisions, on the other hand, were made hastily without listening to … Continue reading Can I Get a Do Over?
