Gray areas….. How we dress. An occasional cuss word. Dunking or sprinkling to baptize. A couple drinks of alcohol. Using God-given gifts for worldly fun. Watching shows with questionable material. Playing games on our phones at work. Harmless things, really. Or are they? As a child, I did not go to movie theaters. […]
I Am Who God Says I Am
One of my favorite worship songs is “Who You Say I Am” by Hillsong. One of the lines says, “I am who You say I am.” It’s true. We are who God says we are. Do you believe that? Many times, we allow the way we see ourselves to get clouded by the opinions of […]

The Reason for Seasonal Decorations
Awww… Christmas time is in the air, our trees are up, presents tucked neatly under, our homes smell like candy canes and are lit up like the 4th of July. Isn’t Christmas time just wonderful? Well, most of the time it is. It is wonderful, but why do we do it? No not, why do […]
Parenting…
Parenting… why did I have such a confused outlook at it? Why did I know that so many people talked about how challenging it was but never really comprehended it?
