Though we may have what are considered to be nice things. Nice job. Nice home. Nice spouse. Nice vacation. You may be intelligent, witty, or funny.Continue reading “Great Gift, Great God”

Soul Work
Your inner child. The part of you that’s still attached to your youthfulness. The part that carries the wounds from your early years. There are many books and resources on healing your inner child, but I think this term has been played out by pop psychology. A therapist friend suggested that a better way toContinue reading “Soul Work”
Because HE loves
We love because He first loved us. Yes, we do but what does that mean? We love because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19, ESV This statement is a reminder that our love is an obedience to God – to love God means to obey Him. 1 John talks about this sincere, perfected, noContinue reading “Because HE loves”
God Shatters Us
Have you ever felt like your entire life has fallen apart? Plans fail. People disappoint you. Nothing makes sense. Everything is disarrayed.

Everything is Red?
“Daddy, you’re red!” My daughter said this to me one day. Confused, I turned around to find her looking at me while holding a red balloon up to her face.

Have you ever been wronged andContinue reading “Forgiving Others”

Complete Control in 2022
I had a LONG to do list this week. While getting ready for the transition from one year to the next I had my end of the year plan for contacts to make, tasks to complete, and places to go. Then, it happened. I started not feeling well and, out of precaution, needed to restContinue reading “Complete Control in 2022”
A prayer for a weary soul
Oh Lord my God, I am weary. And Heavenly Father, I must confess my first response was not to seek You. I cried, tensed up and sighed in my own weakness. But now Lord, I am releasing these tears unto You. With each sigh, I remember that You are each breath of my life (IsaiahContinue reading “A prayer for a weary soul”
