What season do you find yourself in today? Would you characterize your life as being in the Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter? I know where I live the season seems a bit messed up. It’s May and I’m writing on the back deck of our home wearing a sweatshirt. The Fall-like weather feels great but … More Seek Him first in your season
Today is Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Lent. It is a time that many Christians take to prepare themselves leading up to the celebration of Easter. I have heard of those who are giving up things like chocolate, Facebook, Coke, or some other daily habit during this time. Lent is not something my … More I will pursue You
In the words of Oswald Chambers, “The purpose of prayer is that we get ahold of God, not of the answer.” So, why do you pray? Prayer is a powerful weapon and tool for those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God. The goal of prayer is not that we get something. Or … More Why do you pray?

This year I have been asked to take on two different teams and my response to both was, “Yes, I will take it on.” (The teams were with different organizations.) I had reservations prior to agreeing to work with both. At the time, it seemed the opportunities out-weighed the reservations.

A friend of mine asked me after church where I was going to me riding my bicycle that afternoon.
