I hate to go to the grocery store.  In fact, I think one of the best things ever invented is Walmart online grocery.  I mean, it’s free! I don’t go in and buy a bunch of things I don’t need. They save all the things I buy regularly so I can just click on each… Continue reading Becoming More Like Him

What is your purpose as a parent? I’ve been thinking a lot about this question.  I think loving them is a given.  But what else? When you have a newborn, you would say your purpose is to protect them; to feed them; to help them stay alive.  When you have a toddler, you would say… Continue reading Parents, What’s Our Purpose?

He sees you.  He sees you struggling.  He sees your pain.  He sees your anxiety.  And He cares. He loves you.  He wants you to keep believing in Him; keep trusting in Him; keep praying to Him.  In Mark, Chapter 6, it was night, and the disciples were in the middle of the lake. They… Continue reading Dawn Is Coming

Truth for you today: Whatever desire you have;  Whatever door you’re hoping will open; Whatever you’re waiting for to happen; Whatever it is that you’re praying for; God Hears You. Do you want the very best for your life? If you pray and ask God for anything according to His will, the Bible says He… Continue reading God Hears You

Who’s tired? Raise your hand. Why are we so tired?  Yes, we run in a million directions.  Yes, we have practices, work, family gatherings, school functions.  Yes, maybe we run on little sleep and a lot of caffeine.  But be honest, if you had today off, wouldn’t you still be tired tomorrow? Wouldn’t your mind… Continue reading Are you Tired?

What If I Died Tomorrow? Sometimes events remind us how short life really is; and I start to think about this question. Not because I think I’m going to, or because I’m worried that it could happen, but because I want to make sure I’ve done my best with the time I’ve been given.   I… Continue reading What If I Died Tomorrow?

I play the piano at our church. One Sunday, due to some issues with one of our projector screens, our music director had to stand in the back of the church to direct the music. This worked out great for the congregation because they could see him directing, but since the piano is in the… Continue reading Who Directs Your Music?

At church tonight, I taught a group of sweet little boys about God taking our sins and putting them behind His back. Isaiah 38:17 They understood that when something was behind their back, they could no longer see it.  God’s power is truly revealed in this verse.  Sometimes we do bad things; maybe terrible things.… Continue reading Forgiveness Like No Other

Sundays are hard.  I’ve always said it. And it’s true.  But like the song says, “The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows,” I believe the same can be said about church.  The longer I serve Him, the sweeter going to church grows. I’m not as worried about how I look.  I’m not as… Continue reading Church, The Sweeter It Grows

Isn’t it funny how so often, when we’re trying to teach our kids a lesson, they teach us one too? I realized last night, while teaching some very precious children at church, that we don’t have to have the perfect words when we pray. We don’t always have to know what we need to pray… Continue reading Faith Like A Child
