3.15.2022 – Urgent Reminder: Jesus is Lord

March 15, 2022

I don’t think I have ever had such a deep realization… of our desperate need to get back to the purity of the simple gospel of Jesus Christ.

February 25, 2022

As I’m sitting here at the table this morning, I’m listening to the cheeping sound of around 50-60 baby chicks that are currently in our living room… It’s a sweet little sound. 🐣 There’s a lot going on in our world right now.

2.9.2022 – “Hallways”

February 9, 2022

Transitional times can often be challenging times… I think of a “hallway.” Often times, hallways don’t have windows. Sometimes there are doorways to other rooms, but ultimately, we follow a hallway because it’s leading us from “point A to point B.” We usually can’t see too much around us within these “hallways of transition.” But… Read More 2.9.2022 – “Hallways”

February 7, 2022

I’ll be honest… it seems I’ve been facing a battle within the place of my time of communion with the Lord.

January 28, 2022

Heavenly Father, I’m struggling… I’m having to work through some things that I never expected would be this much of a struggle to work through at this point in my life. It’s humbling.

January 25, 2022

You know what? Over the last couple of weeks, to be very honest, I have dipped into this “what if, what if” kind of thinking.
