Grief and faith

It’s hard to imagine going through grief without faith. Faith gives hope that there will be a better day. Faith gives comfort that you’re not alone and that Jesus is walking through it with you. Faith provides the loving embrace of Jesus in the times you need it the most. Yet many people, even many […]

Facing your demons

It is the eve of the heart procedure that I’ve been dreading. The doctor had to reschedule it and I’ve had to wait an extra 12 days. I am terrified. Not so much of the procedure itself, it’s just a basic heart cath. It’s the results that I’m scared of. After a really rough and […]

I get knocked down, but i get up again!

Keep your eyes focused on Jesus in the darkest times and He will get you through to the other side. It sounds so easy, but it’s hard to accept His help.

The energizer bunny’s got nothin’ on Jesus

Easter is tomorrow and I’ve been putting in a lot of thought about what it really means. As kids, we think it’s all about finding eggs around the yard and eating a bunch of candy, but as we grow older and grow in our faith, we begin to see that there’s so much more to […]

Everyone’s got a story to tell

Paul was hunting down and killing Christians. After meeting Jesus, that all changed and he began starting up churches and sharing the Good News with everyone. What’s your Jesus story?

Who are you? Who who who who.

No matter how far we stray from God in our lives, He welcomes us back with loving arms. We are not just sinners, but children of God!

Silly puppies and dumb squirrels

Have you ever watched animals just be animals without them noticing you? Sometimes, we will stand by one of our windows and watch the squirrels be crazy lunatics. Running around, fighting with each other, leaping and bounding from one tree limb to another. I’ve also watched puppies and kittens not realize how sleepy they are […]

J.C. is my B.F.F.

My favorite thing about Jesus is that He wants to be our friend. This is why it was important to get some of that religious haze out of the way. Religion would have us put Jesus on a pedestal so high that there would be no way for us to ever reach Him. He has […]
