Everyone is created by God and God looks at us as a treasure. It is how we live our lives that determine if we are a treasure to others. Are we consistently lifting others up by encouraging them and being compassionate? Do we genuinely care what is going on in someone else's life whether it… Continue reading Have you filled a bucket today?
Be a rosebud among the thorns…
In the past couple weeks, my rose bush has exploded. It needed a trim, but I didn’t want to trim it until the buds bloomed. With the cold snap, the bloom process slowed down. With all the rain, it has grown so much that I think it might try to come in my front door. A… Continue reading Be a rosebud among the thorns…
God’s plans are always Plan A!
Most of us like it when Plan A works and we never have to look at Plan B or C. Many times we are only thinking of Plan A and don't have a Plan B. However, life sometimes throws a wrench into the plans. This verse was on my desk calendar today and made me… Continue reading God’s plans are always Plan A!
Shampoo Bottle Anxiety
I threw away some shampoo bottles and had a slight anxiety attack. It was similar, but not as rough, as the one I had the night the pastor search committee called to tell me that they had finished their search.

Watch Your Giants Fall
If we do what is difficult, God will do what is impossible. This was a quote that I heard on the radio this week as I was driving into work. It reminds me of a verse Luke 18:27 where Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” It reminds us that God… Continue reading Watch Your Giants Fall
Building Your Child’s Foundation
As we are quickly approaching Spring, I hope that you are growing in the Lord in 2017. I am still reading through the Bible and am now reading in Exodus. "Exodus" is a Latin word derived from Greek Exodos, the name given to the book by those who translated it into Greek. The word means "exit," or… Continue reading Building Your Child’s Foundation
Faith Created Simple
This past year I have learned that Faith is created in simple things. The things that I used to worry about or get frustrated about seem insignificant now. The sudden death of a loved one can change that. It helps you refocus and look at life much differently. You start to appreciate the sunsets, admire… Continue reading Faith Created Simple
