BE KIND Go on any social media platform these days and you will find some sort of quote about being non-judgmental such as: “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” -Socrates Of course, if you fact check this quote, the “all-knowing” internet will also tell you that Socrates did not really […]
Defeat the Devil
What do you know about Satan? For real, what do you know? Satan. Lucifer. The Devil. It sounds silly, doesn’t it? The Devil. We think of a little red horned guy in a cartoon with a pitchfork and fire. It’s silly. Most Christians don’t even talk about him anymore. How convenient… Scripture tells us the […]
If it Looks Like a Duck…..
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 […]

Whether we’re waiting for a test result or a doctor’s appointment, a holiday or special event, an exciting trip or vacation.

Fresh Year, Fresh Start
I have never been one to make New Year’s resolutions. I have always tried to avoid making promises I can’t keep! Hahaha! I have, however, always enjoyed the beginning of each new year. I am a nostalgic soul that loves to look back on the memories of the past year, listen to the top music […]

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? Even as a child I remember hearing passing remarks about the “joys of parenting”, the frustrations and the difficulties that seem to encircle it. If […]
