My mouth has been responsible for a lot of harsh and hurtful things. I have said things that I wish I hadn’t said. I’ve said things that reveal that there is more going on inside my heart and my head than is expected or noticed. My mouth reveals my heart. My mouth can’t say anything…
Most of the time when I pray, I’m asking the Lord for something I need specifically. I might also ask for His protection over my family and me. I ask a lot for His provision for my family and me. I also find myself interceding on behalf of another friend, or family member, whether blood…
One of my favorite parts of most websites is the “search bar”. I can type in a key word and find most anything inside the site. A new phrase that has become popular in our Internet world is “Google it”. I can search Google for nearly anything I want to know and I can find…

My hands are responsible for so many things. I’m not sure I could begin to count the things my hands do. I’m typing this blog using my hands. I’m picking up my coffee cup occasionally using my hand. I know that I probably take for granted the use of my hands. I remember playing a…
I’m having the opportunity to slip away for a day from regular routine and meet with our church staff for vision casting and planning. We came to the lake house of a friend and brother who is a follower of God. This place is stunningly beautiful and peaceful. This meeting brings together a very diverse…
This is one of the shortest words in the English language, but it is huge when used. It is a word that introduces a conditional clause. I will do this “if” you will do that. It’s a word that adds “the strings attached” to a promise. I love my kids without “strings” or condition. I…
