Each week, I sit with the Lord and ask, “What do you want to say today?” My prayer is that each post, regardless of the date, speaks to you in due season.

There are certain phrases so common that almost anyone could fill-in-the-blank. For example, if I said, "If you can't say anything nice..." you could finish that sentence with "...don't say anything at all." Or how about: "A picture is worth... [...]
Are you aware of where and how this whole thing started? I'm talking about Christianity. Here's the story: And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but [...]
As a parent, I've told my children it's not always what you say, but what you do. Anyone can say the right thing, but what are they doing or thinking? For example, when I was growing up, my brother and I lived [...]

Years ago, I used to help oversee a local community project called Kidsteem. The name was derived from the purpose: to help boost the self-esteem of children on the first day of school. The program raised money from local donations [...]
Who doesn't like to get gifts? I have occasionally been the person who has had a hard time receiving gifts, but that's not to say I don't like getting them. What I mean is, we often feel undeserving. But it's fun [...]
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 When I look at certain faces in a crowd, I want to ask them, "Who told you you were naked?" This is the same question God asked Adam and Eve when they hid [...]
