“Quit unplugging the chord from the wall, ya dummy”. Those were my thoughts as I watched Browder unplug the tv chord from the wall. He just wanted to watch his favorite show “Clifford the Big Red Dog” but he would get distracted by that awesome chord in the wall…because they are so fun…and dangerous. He…
Clean Up My Mess
“Mommy, I’m tired. I can’t do it. I don’t know how. It is too much. It’s too hard. Help me” These were the excuses Raelyn gave me after she pulled out all her toys and I told her it was time to clean up. Periodically, when I walked in her room and saw more toys…
Praise God for Spilled Coffee
If anyone knows me, they know I love coffee. I need fully caffeinated coffee too in order to keep up with this ambition of mine. I like my coffee black (Absolutely NO SUGAR), strong and preferably on ice. I don’t want anything to dilute from the full, robust flavor. I can’t tell you how frustrated…
Peace I Give You
2020, what a year. In my 30 years of life, I’ve never had a time left with more uncertainty; My job, our finances, our child’s education and their well-being. There’s a global pandemic and we both have loved-ones who are considered high risk. There’s a looming second wave and no one knows if we will…
Wives Submit, Husbands Love
“Wives, submit to your husbands (Ephesians 5:22)”. I’ve been saddened by how that phrase has now become derogatory. We live in a culture saying that is offensive but I find it beautiful. You see, we tend to stop the passage there. 3 verses later “Husbands, love your wives”. Continue on to verses 28 through 29,…
Pastor Appreciation Month
October is Pastor Appreciation Month. The greatest thing we can do for our Pastors is pray for them. I’d like to focus today on how we can pray for our Pastors and their families. Resist Temptation – This is a big one. We tend to forget that we are all sinners….including our Pastors. If anything,…
Your Grace is More
“Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more”. How beautiful are those words we sang yesterday in Church? If there was a phrase to describe my life it is “where sin runs deep Your grace is more”. We’ve been going through the book of James the last few weeks at Church. James is my favorite…
We Have Got to do Better
Seeing so many people laugh, rejoice and wish harm on someone they do not agree with over a positive Covid test just goes to prove WE are the problem. It’s the age old saying of, “I don’t care who started it”…someone must stand up and make a difference. It must start with us. Do not…
Faith over Politics
Could you imagine what would happen if we were even half as vocal about our faith as we are politics? I don’t think this country would be in the mess it is in if we were. Faith can move mountains (Matthew 17:20). Our country is not in shambles because of our leaders, we are in…
How will YOU define 2020
One thing I have learned the last 5 months is there is a lot we cannot control. We cannot control a global pandemic, we can’t control the weather, we can’t control others’ actions and so on. There is so much out of our control yet we do have control over our attitude. “Do not be…
