What do you Expect?!
Peace begins when I trust the character, and integrity of Jesus more than I fear the opinions of this world. Few things shake me more than that of having someone question my integrity. Yet, all of my righteous indignation, humiliation, and anger at being wrongly questioned, or accused by another pales in comparison to what […]

Finding Purpose in the Pain
“Sometimes pain can teach us lessons that we didn’t think we needed, or even wanted to know.” Could you even imagine a world without pain? I’ve tried to imagine what it would be like to feel no pain or sorrow, and by faith I believe what God’s Word promises about what we will experience in […]

Four things you can’t recover: The stone after the throw, The word after it’s said, The occasion after it’s missed, The time after it’s gone. If you’ve ever read the book The Five Love Languages, you know that people express and receive love primarily in one or two of the following ways: Gifts, Quality Time, […]
To be Truly Loved, you must be Fully Known!
“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything.” ~ Tim Keller Most every day of my life growing […]
The Power of a Whisper
“When someone speaks in a whisper, you have to get very close to hear. We lean toward a whisper, and that’s what God wants.” ~ Mark Batterson I have 8 Grandchildren, and when the family is all together the volume can get pretty loud! It isn’t long before one of my kids will say to […]
