Have you ever ridden the log ride at Six Flags or at some other park?  Lately my life has seemed much like I am riding a log ride (just not as fun).  My life is in motion bumping up against the parameters (or shall I say the principles) of life.  All the while, I know there is a destination [...]

Hope as defined by Dictionary.com as a noun is wrapped up in “feelings.”  But as a verb:  To look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence. To believe, desire, or trust. Hebrews 10:19-25, So, friends, we can now—without hesitation—walk right up to God, into “the Holy Place.” Jesus has cleared the way by the blood [...]

Trust

After reading a passage in Psalms and reflecting on some things in and around my life – I have begun some evaluation.  These are some random questions I began to ask myself: Who do I trust?  Why? Do I trust anyone with everything about me?  Or do I pick and choose certain people depending on the circumstance? [...]
