Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with challenges we as a family face. The burden parents and grandparents bear can just about paralyze us as we struggle to maintain our focus and trust in God. Many of you understand this kind of burden; many of you are walking through similar circumstances. “Behold, the LORD’s hand is not [...]

Have you ever wondered why God “chose” you? Most of us have, at one time or another in our lives, gone through a time in our walk that we really wondered why on earth God would choose us to be His children. We see ourselves as so insignificant that it’s hard to understand why the [...]

“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” (Hebrews 9:28) Allow the depth of this verse to sink in. Jesus died, not for his own sins, but for yours and mine. His punishment was unearned [...]

All that has ever existed, all that exists today, and all that will ever exist comes from the Lord … they were, are, and will be made BY Him and FOR Him. Can your imagination imagine it? Can your understanding understand it? What an awesome God we serve! What a mighty God we serve! What [...]

From the moment I was put into my parent’s arms, they intended to make sure I grew to understand the importance of serving God. As a result, I’ve lived a life of worship and service as long as I can remember. As a family, my husband and I made sure our children were given the [...]

ll too often we forget the very foundation of our salvation … the cross. We focus on the gory scene each year as we prepare to celebrate Christ’s resurrection. But, how many of us turn our eyes toward the cross of Calvary daily, considering the great price paid for our redemption? Let’s take a moment [...]

This morning I woke up unprepared for what the next hour would bring. The normal routine began with coffee and trying to wake up in order to spend some time reading and considering the Word. Gracie, our 3-1/2 year old cockapoo decided she needed to go outside, so I grabbed her leash and opened the [...]

The Champion Wrestler

Years ago when he was in school, our nephew was a wrestler. He was the strongest kid I’d ever seen, seemingly born to be a champion. I can remember his mom and dad reporting week after week how he’d won his matches with ease. He ended up wrestling at the State and National competition levels, [...]

Waiting School

Sitting at the drive-through window at a fast food restaurant a while back, I did the usual thing … I drove up to the speaker and placed my order. I drove to the first window and paid, then drove to the second window and waited for my order. After sitting there for a few minutes, [...]

Wanting Nothing

“Nobody’s perfect!”  I’ve heard it more times than I can count. Frankly, I’ve said it more times than I care to admit.  It’s a common excuse we blurt out when we’ve made a mistake or done something wrong. James 1:4 puts a different perspective on those infamous words. In fact, we’re told to be perfect.  [...]
