Over the last few weeks I attempted to share some of the news I’d heard from various sources here on this blog. I wanted to find a way to use this platform to inform those who might not necessarily have time to dig into all of the information that is out there. After spending quite…
Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” ~ John 5:8 NIV~ About fifteen years ago, I suffered an injury that kept me down for about two months. If you know me, you know that I don’t like not being able to do things for myself. I don’t like being sick,…
Was it the enticement of free donuts, free beer, gift cards, work incentives, or maybe even the threat of losing one's job? Was it the constant bombardment by the media and social media of all of the wonderful reasons why we must all stand together and take the shot? Please tell me you weren't mesmerized by John Legend's heartfelt virtue signaling in his recent Walgreen's commercials.

Romans 8:35 New International Version (NIV) From some of the posts I see on social media, it looks like this quarantine is already starting to take its toll on some of the more avid…
So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God and he’ll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games…
And Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments. ~Genesis 35:2 NKJV~ At what point do we decide that we’ve dwelt in the past long enough and it is time to really move on? What is…
But He was speaking of the temple of His body. ~John 2:21NIV~ I am overweight. I have been for many years and only recently have come to accept that this is a part of me that I cannot change. God can change this; I cannot. You see, part of my weight comes from years of…
