Some may look at this sign and do exactly what it says every-time.  Some may see this sign and think it really doesn’t mean stop at this intersection.  Then there are those who may think that this only means STOP if there are other cars coming or if the Police are watching. So, what do [...]

It seems like for the past 5 years I have been running around in the same circle.  The circle I’ve been running now is well marked.  Kind of like the rut you find on the ground around a merry-go-round at the park. Faith.  What does it mean to live by faith?  Do you really know [...]

It’s interesting how each person that follows Jesus is so different. The gifts given, the personalities, and purposes for each person are all different. God is very personal with each person. Even the circumstances in life are different for each person. For some, it may seem like everything in life always goes their way. Another [...]

Wide open spaces of God’s grace…

At times I’m finding it difficult to “just read” through the Bible. (Don’t be dismayed I’m ahead of schedule none-the-less with my reading plan). On Friday, I read 4 verses in Chapter 5 of Romans and BAM… I just have to stop and reflect on what is being said. God has such a wonderful way [...]

I recall sitting in my bedroom on Walnut Dr.  It was summer.  I think I was 19 years old. I knew what God was wanting to do with me at the time.  I knew what He was calling me to do.  I knew what He was preparing.  But I had this fear of stepping out [...]

I’m following YouVersion.com reading plan as I read through the Bible.  I’m loving it.  I am on track to read the Bible through two times this year.  If you haven’t noticed I like to use The Message by Eugene Peterson. Today I was reading in Matthew 11.  Checkout the words of Jesus here in Matthew 11:28-30.  [...]

… 2009 has gotten off to a great start.  To begin with, on New Years Eve my daughter Valerie wanted to have a ring ceremony for her decision to “True Love Waits.”  We had a private ceremony hosted by our friends Nat and Tonya in their home.  Valerie invited some of her friends over to [...]

My choice is you, God, first and only.       And now I find I’m your choice!    You set me up with a house and yard.       And then you made me your heir!  The wise counsel God gives when I’m awake       is confirmed by my sleeping heart.    Day and night I’ll stick with God;       I’ve got a [...]

Kyrie Eleison (pt. 2)

In The Message, Genesis 42:9 states, “Joseph, remembering the dreams he had dreamed of them…”  I don’t know for sure but it sounds like Joseph didn’t dwell on the dreams.  As I read this verse, I began to think that maybe he had let them go but due to the circumstances he recalled the dreams he [...]
