    GLITTER- PROOF (When Your Past Chokes the Light Out of Your Future) Part 2

    This perpetual cycle of lies is one of greatest tactics of our enemy. Why? Because it works so well.

  • GLITTER- PROOF (When Your Past Chokes the Light Out of Your Future)

    As I opened my eyes this morning and slumber left my soul, these words spoke silently to me: “Glitter- proof”. Now, I don’t normally think about glitter or work with glitter nor have I been near anything glittery for years! Except at Christmas time, hanging tinsel or lights. Ah, there was that Christmas decorating project…

  • One of the Most Important Keys for Lasting Relationships

    Relationships are hard work. Ask anyone who’s in one or trying to maintain one. They require everything we’ve got and at times, even what we don’t have. And I don’t know about you, but I’m not into “maintaining” but, instead, “growing” my relationships. I don’t just want to “get by”, I want my relationships to thrive. But how…

  • Dealing with Depression

  • What Will “They” Say About You When You’re Gone and Why it Matters

    I received a phone call in early September that after 10 years of fighting brain cancer, my sister, Teresa had passed away. Her journey over the last few years had been especially challenging and I hated that I lived so far away from her. Please continue to keep our family in your prayers and her immediate…

  • A Hunger for Jesus

    A Hunger for Jesus

    Don’t mistake my title for some post that’s going to talk about pursuing God and if you’re not hungry for God, “shame on you” or “you’re not a true follower”. This post is not about what you’re doing wrong, it’s about finding true satisfaction in life.

  • Where is Worship in the Midst of Trials?

    Never is the heart and soul of our worship more challenged than when we are in the middle of trials and tribulations. When all hell is breaking loose in our lives and we are surrounded with chaos, the hit to our relationship with God can be significant. But this doesn’t have to be if we…

  • DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE? The Art of Truly Looking

    I was having a moment today as I recalled a memory of my sister.

  • CERTAINTY:

    I used to believe that life was certain or that I could orchestrate events to make it that way.

  • FINDING HOME

    FINDING HOME

    It feels like I have been trying to find “home” my whole life. You know, like finding “center” or the “core” place in life when you feel, well….”at home”; where it’s all ok and safe and sure.

  • Thoughts for those Lost at Sea….Just Keep Swimming

    Sometimes, you are dealt such a devastating blow, that recovery is not even on the radar. Sometimes, your ability to see the light is swallowed up in the blackest darkness. Sometimes, your heart is breaking in places and for reasons you didn’t even know existed. Sometimes, the road you choose for yourself turns out to be the darkest…

  • An Intimate Moment of the Heart on Mother’s Day!!!!

    From day one of our consciousness, we begin building a life of certainty. A life where we call all the shots, and if we are good and careful and even smart enough, things work out exactly how we plan. And, for the most part, our childish minds can build that sort of life, even if we…
