Life’s not fair.  We know this.  Some feel it more than others.  Whether it’s people mistreating us, sickness, death, or tragedy after tragedy, I believe we can agree that life’s not fair.  And because we’re human, when life’s unfair, we get angry; angry at people, angry at circumstances, and even angry at God.  But what… Continue reading This Life’s Not Fair

I was stopped at a red light today with my kids in the car. We were talking about the places we needed to go and the food we were going to eat for lunch.  The red light was one of those that lasted for.ever... I happened to glance over to the car on my left… Continue reading Everyone’s Struggling…Be Kind

Wouldn’t it have been amazing to be a disciple and walk with Jesus? They were with Him every day.  Watching and learning.  Listening.  Yet, they still had to learn to follow Him.  They probably still had their own ideas of what they should do and how they should do it. So they still had to… Continue reading Walking With Him

I went to visit my Pappaw yesterday, and the kids were playing ball in the grass.  They were laughing and having a good time and it made me think about my Mammaw.  She LOVED to watch them play. It brought her so much joy.  And in my mind I thought, “Mammaw sure would love to… Continue reading How Magnificent Heaven Must Be

Do you ever see someone else doing well at something and want to do the same? Maybe you notice everything they are doing and follow the exact same plan but it doesn’t work out for you like it did for them.  Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you have the same skills, talents, and resources as… Continue reading Uniquely You

I don’t think most people struggle on a daily basis with murder. Or stealing. Or even lying or adultery.  But we see these as “big” sins.  Lately the question God has asked me is, “Is pride in your heart?” And the more I read the Bible, the more I think about all the different ways pride… Continue reading How To Be Humble

As I went through the carwash today, it reminded me of the last year... As I sat alone in my car watching the spinning brushes and scrubbers come towards me, it felt familiar.  It reminded me of the feeling of knowing something was coming, yet not being able to do anything about it.  As the… Continue reading Carwash

I hear it going off like a warning in my head, “pride, Pride, PRIDE...” And it’s absolutely true. There is pride in my heart.  Pride isn’t just feeling good about our own achievements, or having confidence in ourselves.  No, it goes deeper. Right to the root of sin.  You see, pride makes things about us. … Continue reading Pride and Humility

The other day, I was driving home and I was thinking about Heaven. I was thinking about how glorious it will be there. How awesome not to have to be in pain or ever be sad. How great to have a new body. How wonderful to be reunited with our loved ones. And just as… Continue reading The Best Part Of Heaven

Dear Kids, I want more for you.  I know you want to fit in.  I know you want to be like your friends.  I know you think normal is fine.  But I want more for you.  Not more stuff.  Not more money.  Not more recognition.  More of what matters.  You were made for more than… Continue reading Dear Kids, Want More
