We’ve been told to never talk about politics or religion. Too often even believers have believed and heeded that bad advice. Maybe you feel nervous about sharing your faith. Because your role to as a soul winner is so important let’s look at what Jesus said about it. Let me begin with a story. Maybe […]
Isaiah 60 warns us “great darkness will cover the earth.” I never dreamed that I would see that happen in my lifetime, but it has. And it lurks closer to home than I want it too. How ’bout you, are you seeing the darkness too? I want to ask you a very personal question, “Does […]
Everyone wants to make a difference. We want our lives to count. Somehow there is a awareness in us that says we were made for a purpose, even before we are born into God’s family. But as believer’s our sense of purpose, our goal to please God propels us to ask, Father, can I make […]
I’m always learning…but honestly the lesson I learned at the wedding reception surprised me. But, let me show you instead of tell you. Come walk with me and let’s take a closer look at the wedding reception at Cana in John 2. You can hear the laughter and the voices trying to talk over the […]
You will never hear me say, “Please, let me run”. But that’s what I read in the story of Absalom’s coup in Scripture. And I’ve heard my daughter-in-law, Jenny, say it in response to my wanting to give her a break away from the children. I suggested shopping. She suggested running. Maybe, I noticed the two […]

Our first stop took us to Lake Lure, no apples, just lots of beauty to enjoy. I love to walk along the lake flanked by gorgeous mountains. The Knock-out Roses and […]
My grandkids are so creative! Legos were scattered all over the den floor. Paper and crayons were strewn on the hearth which had become their drawing table. I washed dishes and Wayne cooked a fabulous southern breakfast, which by the way, he is famous for! After breakfast Wayne and I, each with a cup […]
It is old news, but if you saw it you will never forget it? Did you like Nik Wallenda walk? I couldn’t watch it until the event was completely finished–too nerve racking for me. While 1400 feet isn’t a record-breaking distance across, I was scared for him. Because the 1400 feet was stretched across a gorge […]
Ashlyn and Brayden live in a crowded suburban neighborhood filled with dogs and cats; bikes and kids. Regular kids, some that love to fish. One little guy fashioned a fishing pole from a stick, borrowed fishing line and a small plastic worm with a hook. Brayden borrowed the pole and dropped the line in […]
It’s an uncomfortable question, because it’s a primary role of every believer. Jesus reminds us that no one hides the light, instead they put it on a stand where it can be seen. And because it matters so much, it is a question we need to ask ourselves, “Can people see the light of Jesus […]
I first heard about it on one of those morning news shows. I was working on the website, doing boring repetitive tasks, so I flipped on the TV. It was just a brief mention, grouped with a hodge podge of money saving ideas. But, it grabbed my attention–so I grabbed a pen and wrote down […]
