Welcome

My 8 year old had a lot of questions about the upcoming eclipse today. I could tell he was nervous and uncertain about what was going to happen. He wanted to know if it was going to be completely dark and for how long. After assuring him it was going to be ok, I thought… Continue reading The Light

I made mashed potatoes tonight. I didn’t expect them to make me sad. But as I stirred a big, heaping mound of butter into them, I thought of Pappaw. And how much he loved mashed potatoes. It’s kind of like when I drink coffee, or make a cake, or a million other things that remind… Continue reading The Greatest Is Love

We can choose to constantly say yes to our desires. Say yes to all the expensive things. Say yes to all the trips. Say yes to all the big parties. Say yes to the clothes, shoes, coffees, etc. Say yes to just doing what WE want. And we will still not find contentment. Why is… Continue reading Model Christ

I always thought Adam blamed Eve for eating the fruit in the Garden of Eden. But God revealed to me something new as I read these same verses a few days ago. The Bible says God asked Adam, “Have you eaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?” The man replied,… Continue reading Unexplainable Love

God works good even in the bad. Maybe you’ve messed up… Maybe someone you love has messed up… God still works things for good even in the bad. Look at Jonah. When we retell the story of Jonah, we say God told Jonah to go to Nineveh but he went the other way. He gets… Continue reading God Works Good Even In The Bad

“Praying for a good day you.” That’s the message I sent my friend the other day. Seems like an easy thing to do right? Actually, this was my latest struggle in following Christ and being obedient to Him. I had to go to God and tell Him I didn’t know how I could pray this… Continue reading Growing In Faith

The reason I started playing piano at my church is because there was a need. I didn’t volunteer. I was asked and I begrudgingly did it. Every time I had to play I was a nervous wreck. I am the type to avoid any and all eyes on me. So being in the front of… Continue reading Serve

I’ve been thinking about what the devil is most threatened by. I don’t think it’s Sunday mornings. I don’t think it’s youth groups. I don’t think it’s VBS. I don’t think it’s prayer meetings. I don’t think it’s pastors or evangelists. I don’t think it’s praise and worship. I think the NUMBER ONE thing the… Continue reading Relationships

Honestly I’m the worst at fellowship. I thrive on quiet time alone. But there’s no getting around how important fellowship is as a believer. All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer.‭‭Acts 2‬:‭42‬ Acts 2:42 says, “ALL the believers…”… Continue reading Fellowship

Do you have time for a story? This is a story about a little adventure the kids and I went on six weeks ago. And the reason I’m just telling it now is because my foot still hurts and is a reminder of this little outing; and I thought someone may need this reminder. It… Continue reading The Little Ravine
