Mar 21, 2020 All of us are affected but not all in the same way. For some, everything has slowed. I pray that in the stillness, you discover how much you are loved by God. You. Yourself. It isn’t about others’ relationship with God. He wants to connect with you. And I hope that youContinue reading “Our Lives Change”

Walk by Faith
Feb 3, 2020 As far back as I can remember, I struggled with faith. It started early in childhood with questions, doubts, and fears despite growing up in a Christian home. I couldn’t feel God’s presence. I certainly couldn’t see Him. I didn’t know if He was really real or just a made up storyContinue reading “Walk by Faith”
From Frustrated to Faithfully Focused
Jan 23, 2020 I get it. I really do. I was about to explode one Sunday after running errands with the kids. The constant noise and bickering coupled with keeping my kids from eating old sticky gummies in the van and running out into the parking lot had pushed me to the brink of insanity. Continue reading “From Frustrated to Faithfully Focused”
Just Passing Through
January 11, 2021 This world is not my home. I’m just passing through My treasures are laid up Somewhere beyond the blue The angels beckon me From Heaven’s open door And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore My grandparents sang this song for years, and it began running through my mind recently.Continue reading “Just Passing Through”
Reflection
Jan 6, 2020 You know those moments when you pause and see yourself? It’s almost like taking a snapshot or looking objectively from the outside. I had a moment like that today. The sun was dropping low as I drove our John Deere Gator to the outdoor spigot. My three boys were piled in theContinue reading “Reflection”
The Deception of Pursuing Happiness
Jan 3, 2020 We’ve all heard it. We’ve said it. It’s everywhere. It broadcasts from commercials and is found on bumper stickers and magnets, pillows and park benches. It’s the world’s mantra of living for ourselves and is phrased in many ways: Do what makes you happy. Follow your heart. Seek your fortune. Find yourContinue reading “The Deception of Pursuing Happiness”
New Year’s Resolutions
Dec 30, 2019 Get ready. Are you ready? People are going to be asking. So did you make any resolutions? Unprepared, you may pull one out of thin air when asked. “I plan to get in shape.” “To stop eating junk food” “To spend more time with family.” Sure, those are good.

When it is Not the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Dec 18, 2019 You don’t know when it may hit you. “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” some say. But to those who are grieving, jingle bells and ho ho ho around every corner may make the hurt run deeper and the whole season dreadfully hard. Whether we actually come out and say itContinue reading “When it is Not the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”
May Be God is Real
Nov 22, 2019 We just need to point people to Christ and let God do the work. I’m thankful that the heavens declare the glory of God, and that it’s God’s goodness that draws people to Him, young and old. Emmett’s thoughts overflowed this morning right after breakfast, and I’m so grateful that God willContinue reading “May Be God is Real”
Parenting with Grace
Parenthood is challenging no matter what philosophy we believe or methods we follow. Raising naturally selfish and tantrum-throwing miniature humans to be caring and productive members of society is hard work and can sometimes seem overwhelming. And it’s usually these little people who bring out the worst in us and make us realize we stillContinue reading “Parenting with Grace”
