Summer is upon us! The beach! The rays! Folks are hitting the tanning beds. I can remember baby oil sunbathing, the introduction of tanning beds in the 70s, and beauty being judged on your ability to glow with shades of bronze. We’ve learned a lot about sun safety over the years. Knowing tanning beds…
Poured Out
Judges 6, 7, and 8 tells the story of an anxious and fearful man named Gideon who grew in wisdom and faith. In one chapter you find him hiding in a hole from the enemies, and then God takes over and he leads the Israelites to victory! I had the privilege to attend Priscilla Shirer’s conference a…
THE BEST MOTHER’S DAY WEEKEND EVER!
Intricate details. Jesus has this way to finish the final details with promises long-awaited for. It’s like this long drive in the rain only to find a rainbow that takes your breath away.

If you believe that success = happiness, you will chase the tail of happiness and never obtain it. Think about it. If you make a sales quota, your boss will probably increase the quota for next…

Proverbs 16 3 Share your plans with the Lord, and you will succeed I went to bed last night with a mix bag of emotions. I’m deeply struggling with some news I heard from a friend, questioning some personal decisions, and aching for days that have gone by–children leaving, growing, maturing. I want to control time…
Preparing our hearts
On the way to church, we decided to prepare our hearts for worship. On 104.7–gospel station, the song I’m still standing was playing.
