Running with Endurance
A few weeks ago I was frustrated by my lack of time to do some things. Things like exercise, serious Bible study, sleep… My how things have changed and not in the way I imagined…I don’t know what I imagined but this wasn’t it. So a few weeks ago, I decided to just do it…just…

Trust and the Consequences
You know how you think you know stuff and then you realize all of a sudden that you really don’t? That has been my experience this past week. A dear friend of mine is working through some books and studies with me to figure out how to get to a healthier place in the whole…

Too Many Words
Last Sunday I excelled at words. They poured forth from my mouth like a fountain. Unfortunately, they were not a fountain of refreshment, but rather a fountain of refuse. I remember some time ago I read a parenting book that described nagging as using a lot of words to convey a point. Good gravy!…

A Simple Life
One of my favorite things is playing the piano. I grab a moment here or there to play a song or two whenever I get a chance. Yesterday I pulled out one of my Christmas songbooks and began playing “Breath of Heaven (Mary’s Song)” by Chris Easton and Amy Grant. I remember when it…

Where is My Peace?
Where does the time go? I can’t remember the last time I could sit down and put thoughts to paper. Things are just too busy. Each season seems to be busier than the last. I keep thinking the next season will slowdown…..apparently it isn’t coming anytime soon. God has blessed me with a wonderful job…
