Have you ever settled for being ordinary or do you dare to dream big? We are realized in Christ when we include ourselves in God’s eternal plan. God pays diddly-squat for our works, but there are rich dividends for everyone willing to walk in faith. The night was waning fast… Reflections was on. The sunbeams …
My voice can get lost underneath the weight of the world. The rigamarole that life affords begs for silence, even stillness if we are able to express the intentions of our struggles with God. How we hear God respond denies the assets that this world affords and all the noise that goes along with it. …
Computer problems are the norm for me. It seems to me that those who can fix trouble, find trouble. So, hardware can die, keyboards can fly, and software has these undocumented features that I like to call, bugs. When you want to fix Windows apps, Microsoft has allowed its customers the use of Safe mode. …
Looks like I’m having frozen delights for dinner! Ice cream? No, chicken nuggets. I don’t know why. Perhaps it was the unrelenting boredom or my impenitent hunger pangs. I definitely did not take the fact that my wife and I were going to share a meal together, one that was homemade and lovingly prepared by …
“I see,” I said. I thought back to some earlier lessons that God had been teaching me throughout the week. I would get up and sigh. I would ache and grunt. I would stretch and roll my eyes. He told me that I shouldn’t trade my peace for an inner struggle that was only worth …

Though distressed and afraid, Be my thoughts not dismayed, For God’s voice is so very near. Though mighty storms clash, Into white, cindery ash, My …
It was forty-five minutes until the end of my scripture/nature show. Maybe that’s why it was significant. Without a second thought I blurted out, “My life!” I thought again… “When I die I’m going to heaven where I’ll spend an eternity with you… I guess forty-five minutes wouldn’t be a biggie next to that.” I …
If control tends to be an issue in our lives, we often feel out of control ourselves. We can be judgemental of others about how they handle things, such as their kids, or their job, or their finances. So in the same measure, we won’t be able to feel like we can handle things either. …
God is the reason behind all honor and humility, and because of the LORD goodness exists… But it’s almost like God doesn’t mind sharing living honor to a people that really don’t deserve credit for the good they’ve done, as long as they give glory to Him. In a way, we are the unpresentable ones; …
