Before You

Most people do not like to go first. I remember in high school, it was occasionally a good thing to volunteer to go first so you could get a little extra grace from your teacher when it comes to grading. Usually most people would hide in fear. Uncertain territory is not fun, at least not … Continue reading Before You →

Continual Obedience

In John 5, we read about the healing at the pool. There was a man that was there for 38 years in need of healing. He said he never had any help to get into the healing pool to receive healing. Jesus commands Him to get up, to carry his mat, and to walk. The … Continue reading Continual Obedience →

Sunglasses

I will admit I am forgetful. As a crutch, I use my Google calendar to remind me of everything both at work and at home.

The books looked brand new and many of them were titles that … Continue reading Within the Trash →

Overlooked Blessings

I love taking my dog for a walk. It’s great exercise for the both of us, and it gives me a chance to take a break from everything. Yesterday I invited my children to partake in the adventure.
