Let Love……
Your love. Deeper than the darkest ocean. Touching my depths. Healing the wound that came when hearts turn away from you. Healing the hurt I never knew owned so much of my soul. It has to be deep, love, to go down so far. To go down into the lost places. lost hope. lost love. lost sight. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. Almost six years ago, our family was going through photographs of our oldest sister, who had just passed away suddenly from complications of diabetes. As part of the funeral service we were putting together a video pictorial of her life to ...
If I Knew Then What I Know Now…….a Lesson in Mothering
I have many things to be grateful for and of the lot, is the triumph that I raised three children; a daughter and twin sons. They are now grown with lives of their own, in which they are doing quite well. From the bounty of their relationships, I also cherish a son in law and grandson! ...
Keeping the Main Thing, the Main Thing
The day was marked in time. The moment planned from the foundation of the world. "Behold, the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world!" John's words rang from eternity and into the hearing of all those surrounding his revelation of Jesus Christ at the Jordan. [John 1: 29-32] Soon after, John's ministry ...
The Power of Music!
It's been said, music is the universal language. I don't know who coined the phrase, but it appears to carry a lot of truth! Artists can travel around the world singing to those who don't speak their language and still be just as powerful as they are in their native land. Why? Because song has power! Why does it ...
VOICES
"My God's not dead, He's surely alive. He's living on the inside roaring like a lion." This was a song written by Daniel Bashta made popular by David Crowder Band and Newsboys. A song of revival and spiritual revolution. When I think about all the revolutions in the earth and our country, they started with a ...
“Thy Kingdom Come!”
God is returning community to ministry. The way it began in the book of Acts in the Bible. Actually, in Genesis. If you look at it, God always began with an individual or a family; Abraham, Noah. A community of people or person who loved and served Him. With these, He would change the world! ...
What’s Important to God?
I have always been astounded at what is important to God. That's why I hate religion! And I believe that's why Jesus hated religion too. It was because of how unlike God religion was in Jesus' day. Always has been and still is today! For instance, when God is evaluating his people at the end of ...
Forgiveness; It’s Not Cheap, but Why We Can’t Afford NOT to Give it Away!
I’ve done some stupid things in my life. Some I laugh at and some, I don’t realize just how stupid until I am living in the regret of what I did later in life and it is quite painful. You see, the biblical truth of “you reap what you sow” is a natural law as ...
So Close to the Floor
I never knew You lived so close to the floor but every time I am bowed down crushed by this weight of grief I feel Your hand on my head Your breath on my cheek Your tears on my neck You never tell me to pull myself together to stem the flow of many years ...
