December 5 Expectation Of A Coming Savior! During the month of December, I will focus our attention on expectations.

November 21 Give Thanks For A Friend! It is easy to take our friends for granted. We get too busy and a little distance creeps into the relationship. We get a little hurt and hesitate to reach out to them the next time. We get distracted by another friend or a family crisis or even […]

November 7 Give Thanks For Small Things! With all the amazing promises and prolific accusations in the political arena these days, it is quite easy to become cynical, pessimistic, and critical.

October 17, 2024 I Am Silent; God Still Speaks! Sometimes I simply do not have anything to say. For those who know me well, that may be hard to believe. However, there are times when I need to be quiet, times when I need to be silent, times when I need to listen without speaking […]
I Am Hopeless; God Restores Hope!

October 10, 2024 I Am Hopeless; God Restores Hope! Hopelessness and helplessness are not the same. Helplessness is believing I cannot do what I want to make a difference.
