Snowy trees

“Be Careful What You Wish For” – It’s Still Good Advice.

I’m sure you’ve heard the old adage, “be careful what you wish for.” 18 days ago I was wishing for snow. I was dreaming of a white Christmas (are you hearing Bing Crosby’s voice right now? Me too.) And just when I thought we wouldn’t get snow over winter break, the weather changed and it […]

The Truth is: “You’re Not Behind in Life”

Whether you jumped out of bed this morning ready to take on the world or you rolled over, pulled the covers over your head and waited until the last possible moment you could… you did it! You’ve started the first Monday of 2017; only 51 more Mondays to go this year. Much to the chagrin […]

Replace “Taking for Granted” with “Having Gratitude”

It would be easy to be stressed today. The last Monday before Christmas and just six days to go until the big day. I don’t know about you, but my day isn’t turning out to be particularly productive. My little one went to bed last night with sniffles and woke this morning with ear aches […]

When It’s Time to Unsubscribe

Earlier this week my daughter had a melt-down. A total and complete seven-year-old melt dowwwwwn. It was awful. Tantrums thrown by three-year-olds are terrible, but tantrums thrown by seven-year-olds are even worse. In the end it came out that a few kids at school had said some really ugly and cruel things to her. They had spoken lies […]

It’s Time to Kick Fear to the Curb

Maybe you’ve been encouraged to start a new business, take a new class, make a career change, try online dating or move to […]

I’m sitting in a hotel room in Nashville, Tennessee with about 45 minutes left before I have to check out and head for the airport. And once I get home from this trip, I’m done traveling for the year. And I’m ready. I’m ready to be home. I’m ready to slow down. I’m ready to […]

Regardless of where you stand when it comes to the results of the US Presidential election, it’s undeniable that we are a country divided, plagued with the ugliness and tension that comes from division. Some are elated, some are disheartened. Many are in shocked disbelief (good or bad), while others find themselves in enraged denial. […]

"For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children."

ROMANS 8: 14-16, ESV
