Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day It is that time again, the time to honor our Mothers. It is a challenging day for some of us. It is a reminder that our Mothers are not with us. It is a deeply sad day. I have never really enjoyed Mother’s Day. I love the idea of celebrating mothers; however, at…
Forgiveness—Again
I know, I have written about forgiveness before. And I will probably write about it again. You see, forgiveness is not about a “one and done” type mentality. It is about an “everyday” kind of mentality. Actually, make that an every-second-of-everyday. Let’s face it people are messy. They intentionally hurt others and sometimes they unintentionally…
60-Day Challenge
I signed up for a 60-Day Challenge at the gym. The concept is if changing a few things for 60 days then hopefully it becomes a habit. Their thoughts are by working out more often it will become a habit. So yes, I am hitting the gym more often. They ask the question, “What’s Your…
Hello Doubt, My Old Friend
Why do we doubt? Big question, right? What do you doubt? That is probably a bigger question for some people. I doubt myself. I doubt my abilities and my talents. Honest, I am that. I struggle with doubt. It is easy to “wonder” about things. It is how a child learns. I am talking about…
Who are you, Lord?

Asking for a Friend, Lord…
Why cancer, Lord? Is there not an easier way to die? I mean, seriously, rounds of fire through the veins and then pointed directly at the spot. I don’t doubt you have a purpose. But my friend doesn’t seem to understand. So, I’m asking for a friend. Lord, why do you take people at what…
Easter…
Oh how our Christian holidays have changed. We invented a fat man to bring gifts to our children, instead of celebrating the birthday of our Savior. We then added a bunny to bring baskets of candy & stuff to our children, instead of celebrating the gift of sacrifice Christ gave to us. Why? Is it…
Commitments…Hmmm…
We all have them, commitments. But what happens when you have too many? Or you do not have the right mindset to handle the ones you have before you taken on more? How do you respectfully decline a new commitment? What if it was a commitment you felt God leading you to do? Hmmm… “Go…
Oh Peter
It is the season of focusing on the journey to the cross. But today I find myself thinking about Peter. Peter, the source of such faith. Peter, the man who understood who Jesus was and still denied him. Peter was called to follow Jesus and become fishers of men. (Luke 5:3-11) We find him fishing…
