Everyone is different and that is great. It’s actually how God created us. Yes, we are all made in His image. But even with His thumbprint on each of us, it’s true — we are all very different. We have different personalities, likes, dislikes, different backgrounds, different skill sets, different ethnicities, different opinions, etc. It … Continue reading Diversity is Required

Privileged to Drink
The Message translates today’s verse this way: “You can easily enough see how this kind of thing works by looking no further than your own body. Your body has many parts—limbs, organs, cells—but no matter how many parts you can name, you’re still one body. It’s exactly the same with Christ. By means of His … Continue reading Privileged to Drink
Idle Walkers
I love the term “walking in idleness.” The phrase sounds funny. If you are idle, you certainly are not walking. That requires action. This passage isn’t talking about physically walking though. This passage is focused on laziness. The Bible mentions laziness many times; each time laziness is mentioned in a negative light. God has something … Continue reading Idle Walkers

Same Mold
I had a frustrating evening trying to fit a different brand mouth guard into the same mold as my old mouth guard. My old mouth guard fit perfectly. This new mouth piece was not fitting properly. It was not only a different brand, but it consists of another material base so it was slightly wider. … Continue reading Same Mold
Fit Together
Having two dogs changes the way you take the dogs for a walk. I decided it was in my best interest to purchase a double leash so that Max and Marci are fit together on one leash that midway connects to become two leads, one for each dog. Some people smile and giggle when they … Continue reading Fit Together
Be an Encourager
Have you encouraged someone today? This appears to be a simple question but I challenge you to honestly consider your day and if you took the time to encourage someone. People need encouragement—look around and there is no way to deny it. Negativity is everywhere. People identify with their failures. People listen to what the … Continue reading Be an Encourager
We are One
"For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function." - Romans 12:4 [NIV] My son has been playing the trombone since the beginning of the school year and it has been a very interesting time for me to listen to his practices. … Continue reading We are One
Standing Around
There they were standing around this big hole while one person was doing work on the lines below. I often wonder why so many people are needed for some of the roadwork jobs. There’s one man needed to do the digging. There’s another person needed to ensure no one drives or walks into the hole, … Continue reading Standing Around
A New Name
Since I am taking classes, I don’t often get the chance to sit down with my children and watch movies very often. With school on break, I had a moment to watch the Smurfs movie with them. At the start of the movie, I began to think back to when I was their age watching … Continue reading A New Name
