Our nation is messy, yet so is every nation. People are hurting. Life is difficult. And in the end, it should be driving us to our knees. But I challenge you, do not let prayer be the last thing we do. It should be the first thing, and the continuous thing on our list. So... Continue Reading →
Life should come with a remote. Or should it? One of the newest additions is voice activated remote controls. It’s not really new. I remember being the voice command remote control every time my dad or older siblings “commanded” me to get up and change the channel. Or adjust the rabbit ears. Or up the... Continue Reading →
Midweek moment with an election twist. It’s the day after. And some votes are still being counted. Election Day +1. And I share a prayer. A prayer by the first President. His words ring true still today ... Prayer for the United States of America "Almighty God; We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt... Continue Reading →
Alert. Warning. Pay attention. Klaxons going off. Danger Will Robinson. The sound happens and it makes our hearts jump.

We have no real reason to stick out and deserve any attention from the BIG, POWERFUL, AWESOME CREATOR we call LORD. And that’s just our... Continue Reading →
