I was listening to a song from Downhere the other day and one song really stood out to me. It seems that the majority of people are either locked in the past or have their minds in the future. Not saying that the past is always bad. I made a post a while back on … Continue reading Don’t Miss Now

Im Not English But I Like Tea
So here I am drinking some tea and staying warm during yet another snow storm. There is nothing like a hot cup of tea to warm you up. Some prefer coffee for a pick me up or a nice warm drink. I prefer a nice hot cup of tea. It soothes the stomach, warms the … Continue reading Im Not English But I Like Tea
That Many People Still Missed It
I'm starting a 3-part series on the heart of God. Some of this came by revelation during dinner with a long-time friend. I love those times when you're just chatting away and God interupts the conversation. In fact, if we believe the scripture where Jesus said when 2 or 3 are gathered in His name, … Continue reading That Many People Still Missed It
Go To Your Happy Place
Have you ever been told to "go to your happy place"? Maybe things weren't going your way so a friend told you that. I've had to tell myself that at times. Where is your happy place? For some, it is a quiet place...maybe imagining a private beach with waves as the only noise. For others … Continue reading Go To Your Happy Place
Is It Well With Your Soul?
At the end of this year, I want to make sure everything is ok...with you and your soul. The video above is a more upbeat rendition of the song, but Denver & MHO do a great job at it. My pastor says that how you leave one season will determine how you enter the next. … Continue reading Is It Well With Your Soul?

Take My Yoke Upon You
The Word is so alive. It is living and viable for your every need. Im glad the Word is not just a bunch of letters. Remember, every word in the Bible is in the dictionary but the dictionary isn't anointed. It's the power behind those words. The arrangement of those words was and is God-breathed. … Continue reading Take My Yoke Upon You
Stones of Remembrance
Keeping with the blogs about rocks, while having a conversation with someone the other day, I began recalling the story of my grandmother's conversion. She was a wonderful woman who didn't come to know Christ until she was 80 years young. I remember how a neighbor came and sat down with her and shared the … Continue reading Stones of Remembrance
Does It Hurt?
Today was a tough day for me, yet it was filled with so many joys. A lot of little things happened and the pressures of ministry that are just normal seemed to hit me at one time. I want you to see that even through the troubles, God always provides the vaccine. The other day … Continue reading Does It Hurt?
You Can’t Go Back
Recently, I took my mom on a drive through some areas that I had not been to in a while. These were towns that I remember passing through when I was young. We shared how we knew so and so that lived there and began to ask one another how certain people were doing now. … Continue reading You Can’t Go Back
