I enjoy building things and watching them function for what they were built. I also enjoy repairing things that are broken. I am blessed to work with a builder who builds homes and helps fulfill dreams of people who dream of living in them. I get to see firsthand the sequence of events that take…
I have learned the power of prayer over the years as I continue to walk with the Lord. His Word has convicted me many times to pray and seek His help. I have prayed simple prayers like, “Help!” and I’ve prayed very detailed and specific prayers. My prayers have been all over the place, but…
In the past, I haven’t given posture much care and attention. I’m not just speaking of how, the older I get the shorter I get! I’m also not speaking of slouching. I’m talking of the posture I choose when I’m around another person. Posture is not all about physical position. It can also be about…
I’ve had the privilege of being part of some power worship experiences. I remember one such occasion was a worship leaders conference in Atlanta at Passion City Church.

I enjoy being home. I learned during our “Shelter in Place” that I enjoyed being home. I also learned that I like my work and going to the office to work. I do like to go camping and I like a bit of travel, but I always love coming back home. Home is a relative…
Blog by Kristen Hicks Tears are an interesting design. There isn’t another human reaction that actually can mean so many different things. Tears of joy at watching a couple get married or a baby born. Tears of grief at the loss of a loved one. Tears because you are laughing so incredibly hard. Tears of…
I have a list. When people ask me this question, I can usually come up with an answer. “I want what I want, when I want it.” I think if I knew I was speaking with someone who could give me all that I want, I would probably go a bit crazy and ask for…
I often use the word giving praise to the Lord for what He is doing and has done for all mankind. I am also committed to be a giver of my financial resources and my time for Kingdom work. I was reminded this morning that my giving is really “giving back”. I can look back…
