I read the other day that Jesus couldn’t wait to get to the cross. He was clawing His way to get there. That’s ridiculous! I get so mad every time I think about it! Today, Good Friday, always gets me. It has a shadow on it – a sadness. Throughout...

You know how sometimes God puts a book in your hands that PERFECTLY speaks to you and the place you’re living in at that exact moment? Yeah. That. I’ve been reading this book called Daring to Hope by Katie Davis Majors that’s doing just that for me....

My 17 year old son says that the movie, The Greatest Showman, has changed his life. He has seen it three times. I’ve been only once, but it does have a profound effect on any age. (If you didn’t see the movie) The movie is based on the life of PT...

I may be in the (gulp) fifth decade of my life…but I’m still learning some stuff. For instance–even though I seem to be an entirely different person from whom I was 35 years ago….I still have SOME of the same tastes. Perfect example: creme...

Just a few more days. Just a few more days and the year we waited for with such feverish anticipation at this time last year…will be over. Soon we will say good-bye to our 365-day-chance of new beginning, second chances and fresh starts and replace it with hopes...

This Christmas has been a little more intense. With intensity and difficulty come clarity and a fresh perspective. We personally had a rough spot this season. It was brief, but nonetheless hard. It brought Christ right smack into the center of our lives with arms...

Christmas is my favorite. It looks like it threw up in my house most years. Every year we go get our tree at the tree farm the day before Thanksgiving. They aren’t even open, but I call every year and they let us come early. We have it all to ourselves as we...

I’ve been saying, “I”m busy.” A LOT. I probably shouldn’t say it to people because when I hear it from someone, I think, “Yeah, join the club.” All of these “to do’s” suck up life like a really good...
