Prepare
It's Christmas season, and while I should be preparing for the holidays, I just can not seem to get in the mood. I think a lot has to do with the fact that there seems to be a falling away from the true meaning of Christmas. There were lights in my neighborhood the week of... Continue Reading →
Enjoy {#Write31Days}
We must intentionally take time to enjoy life. It is not enough to go through life fulfilling obligations. We must take time to frolic and enjoy the beauty around us. We must intentionally enjoy the relationships that we have, instead of taking them for granted. We must intentionally find joy in everyday things.
Free {#Write31Days}
Galatians 5:1 (The Message) Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you. As Christians we are supposed to live free. Yet daily I hear about us living in bondage, stripped of the freedoms that Christ not only died... Continue Reading →
Care {#Write31Days}
Do we care enough to get to know those who are in the front lines helping? Do we take time to connect with those who are being helped? Take time to care. Your sacrifice will change someone's life and you will be surprised that usually that life is yours.

How many times have I sighed deeply, or blown my bangs up with a deep exhale to express my frustration with a job I am doing? I am reminded of the childhood song "this little light of...

Life {#Write31Days}
Life should be about the things that are really important. Today I saw the most beautiful, yet unusual sight. I was driving past the town square and out of the corner of my eye I saw this man in dress pants, shirt, and tie running. He wasn't running because He was late for a meeting.... Continue Reading →
Join {#Write31Days}
It is hard for me to join in. I mean really hard. I'm okay if I can lead and I am okay if I start at the same time with others, but it is hard to join in to something that is already going. I see people talking, and even if I want to talk... Continue Reading →
