Normally, when we think of being “Under the influence” we think of drugs or alcohol. But I would contend that it applies to everything in life. My Daddy always told me, “If you lie with dogs you’ll get up with fleas”. And he was right. Unfortunately, I may have gotten a few “fleas” along the […]
Rest for Your Soul
Rest. What does resting really mean? The dictionary defines rest as: “the ceasing of work or movement in order to relax, refresh oneself, or recover strength.” Wow, right? Doesn’t that sound great!

What does it mean to have a Servant’s Heart? The dictionary defines “Servant” as a person who performs duties for others, or a devoted, helpful follower or supporter. Wow, right?

Theology and Spirituality
Hello friends, Recently, I’ve had to describe my Christian walk and in both instances, I highlighted the importance of the dual nature of theology and spirituality.

MY TEMPLE. MY RULES.
Nutrition should not be the bane of our existence. Recently, I completed a 21-day devotional with a couple of friends on the Bible App called “Made to Crave.” It is based on the book of the same name by Lysa TerKeurst. A Bible study about dieting is not going to be life-changing for you […]
